Lyrics
"Don't Tell Me" ? words and music by Trance Blackman
intro - spoken
Don't tell me it cannot be... I won't believe it...
No I won't believe it... You can't bring me down.
In my mind there?s a place where we can be what we want to
In my head it spins around and around there's nothing else to do
Just a real honest friend is all I ever ask of you
Don't play games, it's a shame that I get to see worst in you
CHORUS
So enlighten me if you please
I cannot seem to understand
Your ways are such a mystery
So won't you please just help me
Enlighten me if you can, I wanna hold your hand
This dream is so close and so real to me...
Don't - tell - me - it - can - not - be
Spoken - What is this silly game with you and me? It's breaking my heart, can't you see?
So instead of the dream, I see myself in the mirror
It's so weird that I'm down on the ground I beg you get nearer
Just a good thing that's right! You never seem to forget it
How you say, what you feel, when were you going to share it?
Chorus
- Bridge -
Don't tell me it cannot be...
You'll bring on a sad sight of me...
Instrumental Solo
In my mind there?s a place where you and I can be as two
In my head it jumps around and around there?s nothing else to do
Just a real honest friend is all I ever ask of you
Don't play games, it's a shame that I get to see worst in you
Spoken ? I?m not gonna play anymore - just close the door...
Chorus (repeat and fade to end)
