Not Gonna 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 left your ass a long time ago

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

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

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

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

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

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

15 I was your lover and your secretary

16 Working every day of the week

17 Was at the job when no one else was there

18 Helping you get on your feet

19 Eleven years of sacrifice

20 And you can leave me at the drop of a dime

21 Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

22 I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

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

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

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

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

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

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

29 I know there are no guarantees

30 In love you take your chances

31 But somehow it seems unfair to me

32 Look at the circumstances

33 "Through sickness and health 'til death do us part"

34 Those were the words that we said from our hearts

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

36 I don't get that part

37 I was your lover and your secretary

38 Working every day of the week

39 Was at the job when no one else was there

40 Helping you get on your feet

41 Eleven years of sacrifice

42 And you can leave me at the drop of a dime

43 Swallowed my fears, stood by your side

44 I shoulda left your ass a thousand times

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

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

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

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

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

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