Don't tell me you're a stepping stone 'Cus I'll step all over you, and won't mean it Don't tell me I'm not capable 'Cus I'll prove that I am if it k**s me Don't try to hold me in your hand 'Cus living things move, and I surely will You've got your friends and I've got mine And wouldn't you know, they were right I won't tell you that your beautiful 'Cus you'll think I want s**, and don't mean it I won't tell you that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.... again I won't quote the four agreements though you'd get f*cking centered if you'd read it I won't think of you the way I do Don't tell me.... Take me away from the other you The one I thought I never knew I'm not the man you'd thought I'd be I'm ready for another me I've gone away from other days I've weighed my change and changed my ways Been crazed and turned for turns of phrase And now I'm left with you Why can't I love just that Instead of all the loves that leave my bed? And all the lives I've never led Looks like there's still another blank page to fill Until I've had my fill of you So thanks for the tips on carpet And thanks for your taste in shoes If we could learn to love those little lessons There'd be a little less to lose But if you find another love whose going to hold you like me And have these little talks until a quarter to three And wait until you're ready for intimacy Don't tell me Don't tell me
