mary j. blige - not gon' cry (live 1998) lyrics

[intro]
oh, baby baby baby baby, oh, oh
help me out in here, y’all, tonight
come on

[verse 1]
while all the time that i was loving you
you were busy loving yourself (say what?)
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 -ss long time ago

[chorus]
well, i’m not gon’ cry, i’m not gon’ cry
i’m not gon’ shed no tears, no no
no, i’m not gon’ cry, it’s not the time
’cause 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 no
no, i’m not gon’ cry, it’s not the time
’cause you’re not worth my tears

[verse 2]
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 -ss a thousand times

[chorus]
well, i’m not gon’ cry, i’m not gon’ cry
i’m not gon’ shed no tears
(see, i can do much better, yeah)
no, i’m not gon’ cry, it’s not the time
’cause you’re not worth my tears
(never gonna shed a tear over you, oh no)
well, i’m not gon’ cry, i’m not gon’ cry
i’m not gon’ shed no tears
(see, i’m not gonna cry no more)
no, i’m not gon’ cry, it’s not the time
’cause you’re not worth my tears

[bridge]
i know there are no guarantees
see, in love you take your chances
but somehow it seems f-cked up to me
just look at the circ-mstances
through sickness and health (say what?), ’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, h-ll no no no

[verse 3]
i was your lover and your secretary
working every day of the week
was at the job when no one else was there
helping him get on his feet
eleven years of sacrifice
and he can leave me at the drop of a dime
swallowed my fears, stood by your side
i shoulda left your -ss a thousand times

[chorus]
well, i’m not gon’ cry, i’m not gon’ cry
i’m not gon’ shed no tears, oh no no
no, i’m not gon’ cry, it’s not the time
’cause you’re not worth my tears
well, i’m not gon’ cry, i’m not gon’ cry
i’m not gon’ shed no tears
(i’m not gonna cry)
no, i’m not gon’ cry, it’s not the time
’cause you’re not worth my tears
(and you’re wrong)
well, i’m not gon’ cry, i’m not gon’ cry
i’m not gon’ shed no tears
(i’m not gonna shed a tear)
no, i’m not gon’ cry, it’s not the time
’cause 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
’cause you’re not worth my, oh no
i said he was never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever worth any of these tears
he wasn’t worth it?
was he worth it, ladies? h-ll no
but you know what? we ain’t gon’ miss him, f-ck it
but guess what?
