Hard bodies
|
Soft emotions
|
So fast
|
So smart
|
The world is at your feet
|
But what about your heart?
|
Fame and fortune can't hold you tight
|
In the late late hours of the night
|
|
How do you stop
|
Before it's too late?
|
You choose and you lose
|
If you hesitate
|
How do you stop
|
Before it's too late?
|
You think love will wait
|
So you don't hold on
|
And then it's gone
|
|
You've had success-
|
Lots of fancy friends
|
You've tasted the good life
|
You thought it would never end
|
One day you're too young
|
Then you're in your prime
|
Then you're looking back at the hands of time
|
|
How do you stop
|
Before it's too late?
|
You choose and you lose
|
If you hesitate
|
How do you stop
|
Before it's too late?
|
You think love will wait
|
So you don't hold on
|
And then it's gone
|
|
How do you stop a runaway train?
|
How do you stop the driving rain?
|
How do you stop the ripening corn?
|
How do you stop a baby being born?
|
|
How do you stop
|
Before it's too late?
|
You choose and you lose
|
If you hesitate
|
How do you stop
|
Before it's too late?
|
How do you stop?
|
You're lost if you hesitate ...
|
How do you stop
|
Love from slipping away?
|
How do you stop
|
Before it's too late?
|

How Do You Stop
