Don’t

[Verse 1]

Don't hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be fine

Don't tell me how my love for you will grow deeper in time

Here as I stand in the light of day

I move my lips but no one hears one word I say

So don't cary my suitecase and tell me how lovely I look

Don't dream of me ironing the sheets or learning to cook

Yesterday was a long time ago

If only I knew then what it is I now know

Is anybody out there?

Doesn't anybody understand?

Love is not a contract made between a woman and a man

[Verse 2]

Don't tell me that dreams are devised for the young and for fools

Don't kiss me and tell me that we can rewrite all the rules

Here as I stand in the light of day

I move lips but no one hears one word I say

Is anybody out there?

Doesn't anybody understand?

Love is not a handshake made between a woman and a man

[Outro]

Don't whisper I love you and tell me it's all for the best

Don't tell me I'm tired, I'll feel better once I get some rest
