Mary J. Blige | Lyrics | Not Gon' Cry

Baby, baby, baby, baby
Help me out here, c'mon

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 have 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
See in love you take your chances
But somehow it seems f***** up to me
Just look at the circumstances

Through sickness and health
'Till 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, hell no

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 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

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 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? Hell no
You know what
We ain't gonna miss him, f*** it
But guess what}
