Lyrics of Please don't tell me

Go away I've had a bad day
I don't need any bad news
Don't tell me
Please don't tell me
Don't tell me you got the blues

Believe me. Oh believe me.
I've been there many times.

All right all ready ok ok
I'm willing to talk I'm ready to play
Tell me. Please tell me what you have to say

You say a women you met has caused you confusion
You reached out for her but she was just an illusion
You gave it your all
And how you really tried. . . oh
But your sky went dark
The weatherman lied

Well let me tell you young man
Let me tell you my side
Life wasn't meant to be a sweet ride
It can make you happy
It will make you blue
Believe me my friend
I've been there too
Oh yes. I've been there several times

A woman once told me "If it's me you choose
I don't care I have nothing to lose"
A voice whispered in my ear
Put some miles between her and there
She's a road just waiting to take you nowhere

Don't tell me you got the blues
Please don't tell me you got the blues
I don't want to hear anymore bad news
Believe me when I say
I've been there too
