Don't Tell Me

I don’t wanna fight
Don’t wanna spend tonight
Arguing the point
And driving you to tears
You say it’s been too long
It’s not a matter of
How many nights
Or how many years
Don’t know why you’re
Talking forever
If I’m only gonna bring you down
Got no objection to you being around

You can be with me as long as you please
But don’t tell me, tell me you’re in love
You can plead, fall down to your knees 
But don’t tell me, tell me you’re in love

You know we’re more than this
Just friends with benefits
But where does it come from
This pressure to commit
You like to label it
You say “relationship”
But who cares what it’s called?
It is the way it is
Tryna second-guess what you’re thinking
Is a game that I can never win
Why can’t we stay the way we’ve always been?

You can be with me as long as you please
But don’t tell me, tell me you’re in love
You can plead, fall down to your knees 
But don’t tell me, tell me you’re in love
