Don't tell me to stop
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
'Cause you said so
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time, no, no
Let it fall by the way
But don't leave me where I lay down
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
But please don't tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turn
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
Take the black off a crow
But don't tell me I have to go
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
But don't ever tell me to stop
(Don't you ever)
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
(Don't you ever)
Tell me everything I'm not
But don't ever tell me to stop
(Don't you ever) please don't
Please don't
Please don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever tell me)
Don't you ever
Don't ever tell me to stop
(Tell the rain not to drop)
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
(Tell the bed not to lay)
(Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah)
(Not to stare up at me)
(Like a calf down on its knees)
Tell the rain not to drop
Tell the wind not to blow
'Cause you said so
Tell the sun not to shine
Not to get up this time, no, no
Let it fall by the way
But don't leave me where I lay down
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
But please don't tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turn
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
Take the black off a crow
But don't tell me I have to go
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
But don't ever tell me to stop
(Don't you ever)
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
(Don't you ever)
Tell me everything I'm not
But don't ever tell me to stop
(Don't you ever) please don't
Please don't
Please don't tell me to stop
(Don't you ever tell me)
Don't you ever
Don't ever tell me to stop
(Tell the rain not to drop)
Tell the bed not to lay
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah
Not to stare up at me
Like a calf down on its knees
(Tell the bed not to lay)
(Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah)
(Not to stare up at me)
(Like a calf down on its knees)

Tell me love isn't true, it's just something that we do.
Love that part, remember dancing to this when I was younger.
I think this song is about letting go of reality and having someone to back you on your idea of doing so. "But don't ever tell me to stop"
Rabbit Leopold loves and adores Don't Tell Me. Her best-ever Art-Country/Rock Kabbalah Concerto. When Madonna works with her Good Brother Joe, magic happens and Madonna Cries Her Tears and Flashes Her Detroit Smile for the world to hear. Definitely one of her best and most infectious singles and finest moments on record and during her tenure at Rabbit/Warner. A Truly Iconic Madonna Tune. Madonna will never give up on life, love, art and rock & roll! Don't Tell Me-Best 21st Century Madonna Artwork! Brilliant, Maddy! Ciccone Brilliance!

madonna's sister's husband wrote this song called "stop" and decided to send it madonna and she re-arranged it into don't tell me. the same lyrics from "stop" were used but the song got a completely different rhythm. yea..
