Don’t Tell My Baby
Skirmish: "DON’T TELL …” Yourself, ... (@corinnecurcio)Liner Notes
#lyricsonly A throwback, part Motown, part Bee Gees, part rock ’n roll ... all over-the-top emotional.
Lyrics
Don’t tell my baby That I can’t stop thinking about her Tell her I’ve been strong Don’t tell my baby That I can’t live without her Tell her that I get along Even though that’s wrong
It’s a lucky thing That time is an illusion By now I should have died A hundred deaths
If I can last till spring I might come out of this confusion But for now I’ll take What I can get
Who drew up The rules to this game And the part that says That everyone must lose What can I do To erase my name And say that I refuse
Don’t tell my baby That I can’t stop thinking about her Tell her I’ve been strong Don’t tell my baby That I can’t live without her Tell her that I get along Even though that’s wrong
It’s a mystery It can’t be explained That a man Can survive Without a heart
I can’t face myself And I will never be the same After the things I did To take us apart
Who drew up The rules to this game And the part that says That everyone must lose What can I do To erase my name And say that I refuse
Don’t tell my baby That I can’t stop thinking about her Tell her I’ve been strong Don’t tell my baby That I can’t live without her Tell her that I get along Even though that’s wrong
Who drew up The rules to this game And the part that says That everyone must lose What can I do To erase my name And say that I refuse
Don’t tell my baby That I can’t stop thinking about her Tell her I’ve been strong Don’t tell my baby That I can’t live without her Tell her that I get along Even though that’s wrong

Has a definite Motown feel. Very nice writing indeed.

Yes, indeed, I could hear this as a Motown kind of thing, with a happy beat to hide the sad emotion underneath. Good skirmishing

I sang the whole thing in my head as I read it! This would be so easy to put to music. Wish I was a musician and not primarily a lyricist. Really well done!
