Don't Tell Me You Do Lyrics

So you say you've been here, you know me
You really understand.
You've felt the way I feel.
Well sugar, let me say I don't think
You even have a clue of how
You've blown my life apart.
Honey, you got no idea.
Don't tell me you do.
Don't tell me that you cry in you sleep each night.
Don't say you spend each hour wonderin what wasn't right.
Do you stare into the mirror thinkin what
is it you should change?
Do you wake up every mornin, reachin over to find
You ain't there, and you ain't comin back?
You cannot know how this feels.
Don't tell me you do
And you thought this phone call could
fix things - could wipe away the
guilt you feel. You ask too much.
When you said forever, I guess the
forever that you meant must be much
shorter than I planned.
Tell
Don't tell me that you cry in you sleep each night.
Don't say you spend each hour wonderin what wasn't right.
Do you stare into the mirror thinkin what
is it you should change?
Do yo ulose yourself in conversation
lookin ahead,
then look up, there ain't nobody there?
You can ask me to say I love you.
I do, and that won't change.
But please don't ask me to say every-
thing's okay, cause it ain't. It just ain't.
Don't tell me that you cry in you sleep each night.
Don't say you spend each hour wonderin what wasn't right.
Do oyou find yourself alone in all the places we used to share?
Do you wake up every mornin, reachin over to find
You ain't there, and you ain't comin back?
You cannot know how this feels.
Don't tell me you do

Rockapella is an American a cappella musical group best known for their series of Folgers Coffee commercials and the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? theme song. "Rockapella" is a portmanteau of "rock" and "a cappella". In addition to original vocal music, the group also perform a cappella covers of pop songs.

The original group members consisted of Brown University alumni Elliott Kerman, David Stix, Sean Altman, and Steve Keyes, who started performing together sheerly out of their love for music. Stix left the group early on and was replaced with Charlie Evett. After having performed on New York City street corners for passers-by the group met a producer who found them a spot on the television show Spike & Co.: Do It A Cappella, hosted by Spike Lee. It was this show that put them in the national spotlight.

The text "All sounds provided by the voices and appendages of Rockapella," the central idea of the group, appears on the group's label debut, Don't Tell Me You Do.

None of the original members of Rockapella currently remain in the group. Founding members Sean Altman and Steve Keyes, Rockapella alum Charlie Evett, and non-Rockapella-related baritone Kevin Weist now comprise an a cappella group called The GrooveBarbers. They can be seen on a current nationwide television ad for Astelin nasal spray as 'The Astelins'. Founding member Elliott Kerman, is working independently on jazz music compilations.

Frequently, songs downloaded on file-sharing programs are mis-tagged as Rockapella, when they are instead by other a cappella artists, including collegiate groups, Moxy Früvous, The Nylons, and Da Vinci's Notebook, as well as for other, less similar acts, such as Eddie From Ohio, or They Might Be Giants.

On December 11th, 2009 Rockapella made a free version of "White Christmas" available for download on Rockapella.com.
