Don't tell me to stop 
Tell the rain not to drop 
Tell the wind not to blow 
'Cause you said so, mmm 

Tell the sun not to shine 
Not to get up this time, no, no 
Let it fall by the way 
But don't leave me where I lay down 

Tell me love isn't true 
It's just something that we do 
Tell me everything I'm not 
(first time:) But please don't tell me to stop 
(all other times:) But don't ever tell me to stop 

Tell the leaves not to turn 
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no 
Take the black off a crow 
But don't tell me I have to go 

Tell the bed not to lay 
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah 
Not to stare up at me 
Like a calf down on its knees 

[Don't you ever] 
Please don't 
Please don't 
Please don't tell me to stop 

[Don't you ever] 
Don't you ever 
Don't ever tell me to stop 

[Tell the rain not to drop] 
Tell the bed not to lay 
Like a open mouth of a grave, yeah 
Not to stare up at me 
Like a calf down on its knees
