Nothing's gonna stop me now.
There was a time I couldn't get you out of my mind
And since the day you came you tried to take control of me.
Then came the day I thought about running away
And now my bags are packed
Don't even think of holding me back!
Nothing's gonna stop me now
And I don't want to talk it over
I said nothing's gonna stop me now
Gonna break it up
Gonna take my Igve away
Yeah
Yeah.
Day after day
I saw it slipping away
You took my self respect and you made a fool of me.
Time after time
I turned it round in my mind
And now my mind's made up to leave the past behind me.
Nothing's gonna stop me now
And I don't want to talk it over
. . .
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Nothing's gonna stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me now.
Time after time
I turned it round in my mind
And now my mind's made up to leave the past behind me.
Nothing's gonna stop me now
And I don't want to talk it over
. . .
Nothing's gonna stop me now
And I don't want to talk it over
. . .
Nothing's gonna stop me now
And I don't want to talk it over
