Not Gon’ Cry (Live 1998) Mary J. Blige

[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 ass 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 ass a thousand times
