Mary J Blige - Not Gon' Cry Lyrics
(vs.1)While all the time that I was loving youYou were busy loving yourselfI would stop breathing if you told me toNow youre busy loving someone elseEleven years out of my lifeBesides the kids I have nothing to showWasted my years a fool of a wifeI shoulda have left your ass a long time ago(chorus)Well Im not gon cry,Im not gon cry,Im not gon shed no tearsNo, Im not gon cry,Its not the timeCuz youre not worth my tearsWell Im not gon cry,Im not gon cry,Im not gon shed no tearsNo, Im not gon cry,Its not the time,Cuz youre not worth my tears(vs.2)I was your lover and your secretaryWorking every day of the weekWas at the job when no one else was thereHelping you get on your feetEleven years of sacrificeAnd you can leave at the drop of a dimeSwallowed my fears, stood by your sideI shoulda left your ass a thousand times(chorus)I know there are no guaranteesIn love you take your chancesBut somehow it seems unfair to meLook at the circumstancesThrough sickness and health till death do us partThose were the words that we said from our heartsSo now when you say that youre leaving meI dont get that part(repeat vs.2)(chorus)
