Not Gon' Cry

While all the time that I was loving you

You were busy loving yourself

I would stop breathing if you told me to

Now you're busy loving someone else

Eleven years out of my life

Besides the kids, I have nothing to show

Wasted my years, a fool of a wife

I shoulda left your ass long time ago

Well, I'm not gon' cry (I'm not gon' cry)

I'm not gon' shed no tears

No, I'm not gon' cry

No, it's not the time

'Cause you're not worth my tears (Can't do it)

Well, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' cry (I said I can't do it)

I'm not gon' shed no tears (You were never worth my tears)

No, I'm not gon' cry

No, it's not the time

'Cause you're not worth my tears

I was your lover and your secretary

Working every day of the week

Was at the job when no one else was there

Helping you get on your feet

Eleven years of sacrifice

And you can leave me at the drop of a dime

Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

Well, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears (I deserve better)

No, I'm not gon' cry

No, it's not the time

'Cause you're not worth my tears (Never gonna shed a tear, no)

Well, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears (I'm not gonna cry no more)

No, I'm not gon' cry (No, no, no, no)

It's not the time

'Cause you're not worth my tears

Oh-whoa, I

I know there are no guarantees (Guarantees)

In love, you take your chances (Don't take chances)

But somehow it seems unfair to me (So unfair)

Look at the circumstances

Through sickness and health

Till death do us part

Those were the words that we said from our heart

So now when you say that you're leaving me

I don't get that part

I was your lover and your secretary

Workin' every day of the week

Was at the job when no one else was there

Helping you get on your feet

Eleven years of sacrifice

And you can leave me at the drop of a dime

Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

Well, I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry (Again and again and again)

I'm not gon' shed no tears (I said I shoulda been gone, gone, gone, gone)

No, I'm not gon' cry (No, no, no, I'm not gonna cry)

It's not the time (It's not worth the time)

'Cause you're not worth my tears (All your lies)

Well, I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry (I'm not gonna shed a tear 'cause you lied)

I'm not gon' shed no tears (I'm not gonna cry)

No, I'm not gon' cry, no, it's not the time (I said I can't do it)

'Cause you're not worth my tears (You were never worth my tears)

No, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears (All the tears I cry)

No, I'm not gon' cry, no, it's not the time (I'm not gonna shed a tear)

'Cause you're not worth my tears (But you're wrong)

Well, I'm not gon' cry (But you're wrong)

I'm not gon' cry (You're wrong)

I'm not gon' shed no tears (I'm not gonna shed a tear)

No, I'm not gon' cry (Again and again and again)

No, it's not the time (I said I shoulda been gone, gone, gone, gone)
