You Don't Have To Tell Me

(album: The Secret Value Of Daydreaming - 1986)

You don't have to tell me
You don't have to cry
You don't have to worry
'Cause I'm by your side

You don't have to tell me
What you're feeling inside
I know that feeling
And it ain't love or pride

I know there's problems
But you gotta be strong
You'll never know whether love's right or wrong

You don't have to tell me
You don't have to cry
You don't have to worry
'Cause I'm by your side

Isn't life a mystery
When we hit that brick wall
It always feels like
You're gonna tumble and fall

Your heart tells you one thing
But your mind disagrees
You never know which inside you should please

You don't have to tell me
You don't have to cry
You don't have to worry
'Cause I'm by your side

Funny how they tell us
We're gonna be fine
Isn't it according to what's on our minds

They could have our problems
But what do they know?
Funny how we treat life
It's stop, start or go

You don't have to tell me
What you're feeling inside
I know that feeling and it ain't love or pride
I know there's problems
But you gotta be strong
You'll never know whether love's right or wrong

You don't have to tell me
You don't have to cry
You don't have to worry
'Cause I'm by your side
