Don't Tell Me

On a pawn shop radio I heard

Your favorite song

I could almost hear you whisper in my ear

But I know that you are gone

Don't tell me it's alright

Don't tell me not to cry

You've got to admit

You got a better deal than I

If I could turn the hands of time

I'd turn 'em back till you were mine

But instead you'll haunt my dreams tonight

Don't tell me it's alright

In a dim lit resturant you spoke

With a breaking voice

Between the wine and the after dinner smoke

I realized I had no choice

Don't tell me it's alright

Don't tell me not to cry

You've got to admit

You got a better deal than I

If I could turn the hands of time

I'd turn 'em back till you were mine

But instead you'll haunt my dreams tonight

Don't Tell me it's alright

Don't tell me not to cry

You've got to admit

You got a better deal than I

If I could turn the hands of time

I'd turn 'em back till you were mine

But instead you'll haunt my dreams tonight

Don't tell me it's alright

Don't tell me it's alright
