Text: Mary J. Blige. Share My World. Not Gon' Cry.

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 should have 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, I'm not gon' cry, It's not the time
Cause you're not worth my tears
(Repeat)

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 should have left your ass a thousand times

Chorus

I know there are no guarantees
With love we're taking chances
But somehow it seems unfair to me
Look at the circumstances
Through sickness and health
Till death do us part
Those were the words that we said from our heart
So now when you say that you're leaving me
I don't get that part

I was your lover and you secretary
Working everyday 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 should have left your ass a thousand times

Chorus
