Not Goin' Cry Lyrics - Mary J. Blige

1 While all the time that I was loving you

2 You were busy loving yourself

3 I would stop breathing if you told me to

4 Now you're busy loving someone else

5 Eleven years out of my life

6 Besides the kids I have nothing to show

7 Wasted my years a fool of a wife

8 I shoulda have left your ass a long time ago

9 [Chorus]

10 Well I'm not goin' cry,

11 I'm not goin' cry,

12 I'm not goin' shed no tears

13 No, I'm not goin' cry,

14 It's not the time

15 Cause you're not worth my tears

16 Well I'm not goin' cry,

17 I'm not goin' cry,

18 I'm not goin' shed no tears

19 No, I'm not goin' cry,

20 It's not the time,

21 Cause you're not worth my tears

22 I was your lover and your secretary

23 Working every day of the week

24 Was at the job when no one else was there

25 Helping you get on your feet

26 Eleven years of sacrifice

27 And you can leave at the drop of a dime

28 Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

29 I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

30 [Chorus]

31 I know there are no guarantees

32 In love you take your chances

33 But somehow it seems unfair to me

34 Look at the circumstances

35 Through sickness and health 'till death do us part

36 Those were the words that we said from our hearts

37 So now when you say that you're leaving me

38 I don't get that part

39 I was your lover and your secretary

40 Working every day of the week

41 Was at the job when no one else was there

42 Helping you get on your feet

43 Eleven years of sacrifice

44 And you can leave at the drop of a dime

45 Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

46 I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

47 [Chorus]
