You Don’t Tell Me Lyrics by LaVern Baker

Saved (2010)

0

[Verse 1]
You don't teach a kid to drink milk
Or a mackerel to swim in the sea
And when the magic hour approaches, lover
You don't tell me

[Verse 2]
You don't teach the ocean to roll
Or an Englishman how to drink tea
And when affection starts to take me over
You don't tell me

[Bridge]
Only yesterday
I was green as May
Now I have to say
I'm wise to certain symptoms

[Verse 3]
Oh, the young have an option on youth
Oh, I'm as young as I ever will be
I really understand the moment of truth
You don't tell me
You don't tell me

[Outro]
No, no, don't tell me
