MADONNA
Don't Tell Me

DonТt tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
Cause you said so 
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time
Let it fall by the way
Leave me where I lay down 
Tell me love isnТt true
ItТs just something that we do
Tell me everything IТm not
But please donТt tell me to stop 
Tell the leaves not to turn
But donТt ever tell me IТll learn
Take the black off a crow
But donТt tell me I have to go 
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees 
Tell me love isnТt true
ItТs just something that we do
Tell me everything IТm not
But donТt ever tell me to stop
