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,
it's not the time
Cause you're not worth my tears
(Can't do it)
Well I'm not gon cry,
(I said I can't do it)
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
(You were never worth my tears)
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time,
Cause you're not worth my tears
(mm) 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
(ehhhh ehh ehh ehhh)
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,
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
(Ohhhh) I know there are no guarantees
(guarantees)
In love you take your chances
(take your chances)
But somehow it seems unfair to me
(So unfair)
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health
(mm hmm)
'till death do us part
(Ooh hoo)
Those were the words that
we said from our hearts
So now when you say
that you're leaving me
I don't get that part (Ooh oooh ooh)
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
(ehhh hey hey hey)
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry
it's not the time
Cause you're not worth my tears
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time,
Cause you're not worth my tears
Well I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon cry,
I'm not gon shed no tears
No, I'm not gon cry,
it's not the time
Cause you're not worth my tears
