Don't

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 carry my suitcase 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 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 my 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 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 --- Don't - Sheryl Crow and Lucius
