Don`t Tell Me

<br>I never knew no kind of flame before<br>I never knew a love to run up so fast <br>Just to run me down.<br>I never new a girl to take my love so strong<br>Just to leave me lonely come summer`s end.<br><br>I`d gladly let the ladies pass me by<br>Just to save me heartache.<br><br>Don`t tell me that you love me<br>Don`t tell me that you`ll keep me in your heart<br>Don`t tell me that I must be strong `cause you`re moving on<br>Just say you`ll love me into the dawn.<br><br>All I ever wanted was some good times.<br>But now it`s gone and grown so bad --<br>I need you so.<br>I tried to hide my love with pride <br>But girl you saw right through me.<br>Yes, you know the score.<br>You know the score.<br><br>If the time should come<br>You find that you are leaving.<br>If the time should come you find you must go...<br><br>Don`t tell me that you love me<br>Don`t tell me that you`ll keep me in you`re heart<br>Don`t tell me that I must be strong<br>That you`re moving on<br>Just say you`ll love me into the dawn.<br><br>You don`t have to school me<br>`Cause I know the time.<br>You`re headed back to your man.<br>But if I could go back with you where you are<br>I would stay there with you.<br>Then the summer ended<br>And the day did come when you would go<br>But don`t you start to cry<br>Just hold on...<br><br>And don`t tell me that you love me...<br><br><br>Chorus:<br>Don`t tell me<br>Into the dawn<br>But if I, I could go back with you where you are<br>I would stay, I would stay there with you.
