Stop
Sam Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All that I have is all that you've given me
Did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
Now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
And I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
You talk of love but you don't know how it feels
When you realize that you're not the only one

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you go and break my heart
Ooh you'd better stop

Time after time I've tried to walk away
(I've tried to walk away)
But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
So I just resign myself to it every day
Now all I can do is to leave it up to you

Oh, oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you go and break my heart
Ooh you'd better stop if love me (you will remember)
Now's the time to be sorry (that day forever)
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me, babe ooh

Oh you'd better stop (stop) before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop (stop) before you go and break my heart
Ooh (you'd better) you'd better stop, babe stop
(You'd better) ooh you'd better stop, babe stop
(You'd better) Babe stop
Babe stop
(You'd better, you'd better)
You'd better stop, stop, stop, stop
(You'd better, you'd better)
Babe stop
(You'd better, you'd better)
You'd better stop
(You'd better, you'd better)
Oh oh yeah yeah yeah (you'd better)
(You'd better, you'd better)
(You'd better)
(You'd better, you'd better)

@moroz9919

Увы, это так.
Печально.
Но, с другой стороны; попробуйте найти замену.
Такое чувство, такая страсть, такая "экспрессия".
Ну, а если нет такого дарования, что остаётся; ...
только выразить в танце, в теле, все ощущения которые ты чувствуешь в данный момент.
А песня, конечно, глубоко лирична (не могу подобрать иного термина)
А Сэм Браун - редчайшее , увы, явление на нашей земле.
Самый "лучший" музыкальный инструмент - голос. Человеческий голос.
Но, к сожалению, это редкий дар.

Перед школьными линейками, когда настраивали аппаратуру, наш местный старшекласник, ответственный за муз.сопровождение, включал эту песню на весь школьный двор. Каждый год. Это было нечто😊 ...Покойся с миром, Коля Коротков...

@alinakisselyova4826

Эта песня просто бриллиант, единственный в своем роде. Сэм Браун нереальная!

@malovela

Why does nobody ever mention her when talking about the best singers of all time? She's insanely good!

@pc2726

completely agree

@alb639

She toured with Pink Floyd in 1994 for Floyd's Division Bell Tour. She was one of three female singers. That's how I was initially introduced to Ms. Brown. She can bring it! Wow...

@Rolfan4Life

Im here after watching a video of joey tempest saying this song was his favourite one in 1988
