Tell my heart to stop beating 
Tell my mind not to think 
Thrown a stone in the ocean 
And tell that stone not to sink 
 
Tell the world to stop turnin' around 
Tell the sky not to be so blue 
Tell the rain to stop fallin' down like tears 
But don't tell me to stop loving you 
Don't tell me to stop loving you 
 
Tell the past to be forgotten 
Tell my life not to exist 
Tell a promise made to be unspoken 
And my lips not to have been kissed 
 
Tell the world to stop turnin' around 
Tell the sky not to be so blue 
Tell the rain to stop fallin' down like tears 
But don't tell me to stop loving you 
Don't tell me to stop loving you 
 
I can't do it, I can't stop 
It's something that love has sealed 
Only the broken-hearted know the way I feel 
 
Tell the world to stop turnin' around 
Tell the sky not to be so blue 
Tell the rain to stop fallin' down like tears 
But don't tell me to stop loving you 
Don't tell me to stop loving you
