Waiting to Exhale movie - Not Gon' Cry lyrics

rate me

Song by Mary J. Blige<br /><br>

While all the time that I was loving you<br>

You were busy loving yourself<br>

I would stop breathing if you told me to<br>

Now your busy loving someone else<br>

11 years out of my life<br>

Besides the kids I have nothing to show<br>

Wasted my years a fool of a wife<br>

I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago<br>

<br>

[1] - Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry<br>

I'm not gon' shed no tears<br>

No, I'm not gon' cry, it's not the time <br>

Cuz your not worth my tears<br>

Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry<br>

I'm not gon' shed no tears<br>

No, I'm not gon' cry, it's not the time<br>

Cuz you're not worth my tears<br>

<br>

[2] - I was your lover and your secretary<br>

Working every day of the week<br>

Was at the job when no one else was there<br>

Helping you get on your feet<br>

11 years of sacrifice<br>

And you can leave at the drop of a dime<br>

Swallowed my fears, stood by your side<br>

I shoulda left your ass a thousand times<br>

<br>

[Repeat 1]<br>

<br>

I know there are no guarantees<br>

In love you take your chances<br>

But somehow it seems unfair to me<br>

Look at the circumstances<br>

Through sickness and health, 'till death do us part<br>

Those were the words that we said from our heart<br>

So now that you say that you're leaving me<br>

I don't get that part<br>

<br>

[Repeat 2]<br>

<br>

[Repeat 1 until fade]<br>

<br>
