Don't Tell Me

I never knew no kind of flame before
I never knew a love to run up so fast
Just to run me down.
I never new a girl to take my love so strong
Just to leave me lonely come summer's end.
I'd gladly let the ladies pass me by
Just to save me heartache.
Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you'll keep me in your heart
Don't tell me that I must be strong 'cause you're moving on
Just say you'll love me into the dawn.
All I ever wanted was some good times.
But now it's gone and grown so bad --
I need you so.
I tried to hide my love with pride
But girl you saw right through me.
Yes, you know the score.
You know the score.
If the time should come
You find that you are leaving.
If the time should come you find you must go...
Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you'll keep me in you're heart
Don't tell me that I must be strong
That you're moving on
Just say you'll love me into the dawn.
You don't have to school me
'cause I know the time.
You're headed back to your man.
But if I could go back with you where you are
I would stay there with you.
Then the summer ended
And the day did come when you would go
But don't you start to cry
Just hold on...
And don't tell me that you love me...
Chorus:
Don't tell me
Into the dawn
But if i, I could go back with you where you are
