I'm not gonna cry I've got more time to give I'm not gonna cry I'll find another dream Am I incapable of healing? Blige, from the soundtrack to the film Waiting to Exhale; the song is also featured on Blige's 1997 album, Share My World. The music video, which incorporates clips from Waiting to Exhale, was directed by Wayne Maser and Elizabeth Bailey. 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 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 Can't do it I said I can't do it You were never worth my tears Cause 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 should've 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 'Cause you're not worth my tears Remember what I said I said all I'm not gon cry I'm not gon cry I'm not gon shed no tears I'm not gonna cry no more Not no more time I know there are no guarantees In love you take your chances But somehow it seems unfair to me Look at the circumstances Through sickness and health 'Til 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 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've 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 'Cause you were never 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 were never worth my tears Well I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' cry I'm not gon' shed no tears. Oh, I counted up last night All our little times You, yes you Were just a drop in the rain And even if I can't Ever touch you again By myself I will try To hide, to lose you, and be lost But I'm not gonna cry anymore for you And don't you ask for me I'm not gonna cry anymore for you And don't you ask for me Oh, I got drunk last night Thinking about our times You, yes you Were just a drop in the wine And even if I can't Ever touch you again By myself I will try To hide, to lose you, and be lost But I'm not gonna cry anymore for you And don't you ask for me I'm not gonna cry anymore for you And don't you ask for me I'm not gonna cry anymore for you And don't you ask for me I'm not gonna cry anymore for you And don't you ask for me. The memory of my fall from grace in your heart I'm on my journey home With no fuel, alone I think I'll coast awhile I'm not gonna cry I've got more time to give I'm not gonna cry Find another dream 'Cause I'm about to solve it Put my engine back in to overdrive So I can breath again Photosynthesize again With the green hills of my home I'm not gonna cry I've got more time to give I'm not gonna cry Find another dream I'm not gonna cry Say the way to me I've got more time to give It's getting nasty I'm not gonna cry Find another dream But if I got it right, you'd tell me And if I was wrong, then I disappear But I'm incapable I'm not gonna cry Say the way to me I've got more time to give It's getting nasty I'm not gonna cry Find another dream.
