Not Gonna Cry
Mary J. Blige

While all the time that I was loving you

You were busy loving yourself

I would stop breathing if you told me to

Now you're busy loving someone else


Eleven years out of my life

Besides the kids, I have nothing to show

Wasted my years, a fool of a wife

I shoulda left your ass a long time ago


Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears, no, I'm not gon' cry

It's not the time 'cuz you're not worth my tears


Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears, no, I'm not gon' cry

It's not the time 'cuz you're not worth my tears


I was your lover and your secretary

Working every day of the week

Was at the job when no one else was there

Helping you get on your feet


Eleven years of sacrifice

And you can leave me at the drop of a dime

Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

I shoulda left your ass a thousand times


Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears, no, I'm not gon' cry

It's not the time 'cuz you're not worth my tears


Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry


I'm not gon' shed no tears, no, I'm not gon' cry

It's not the time 'cuz you're not worth my tears


I know there are no guarantees

In love you take your chances

But somehow it seems unfair to me

Look at the circumstances


Through sickness and health 'til death do us part

Those were the words that we said from our hearts

So now when you say that you're leaving me

I don't get that part


I was your lover and your secretary

Working every day of the week

Was at the job when no one else was there

Helping you get on your feet


Eleven years of sacrifice

And you can leave me at the drop of a dime

Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

I shoulda left your ass a thousand times


Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears, no, I'm not gon' cry

It's not the time 'cuz you're not worth my tears


Well I'm not gon' cry, I'm not gon' cry

I'm not gon' shed no tears, no, I'm not gon' cry

It's not the time 'cuz you're not worth my tears
