Lyrics to Stop

Don't tell me to stop

Tell the rain not to drop

Tell the wind not to blow

'Cause he said so



Tell me love isn't true

It's just something we do

Tell me everything I'm not

Don't tell me to stop



Tell the sun not to shine

Not to get up this time

Let it fall by the way

Leave me where I lay



Tell the leaves not to turn

Don't tell me, I'll learn

Take the black off a crow

But don't tell me to go



Tell the bed not to lay

Like the mouth of a grave

Not to stare up at me

Like a calf on its knees



Tell me love isn't true

It's just something we do

Tell me everything I'm not

But don't tell me to stop



Tell me everything I'm not

Don't tell me to stop
