Stop
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's cool but
You don't even know me
You take an inch, I run a mile
Can't win you're
Always right behind me
And we know that you could go and find some other
Take or leave it or just don't even bother
Caught in a craze, it's just a phase
Or will this be around forever
Don't you know it's going too fast (ooh, to fast)
Racing so heard you know it won't last (ooh, won't last)
Don't you know why can't you see
Slow it down, read the sign
So you know just where you're going
Stop right now thank you very much
I need somebody with a human touch
Hey you always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do always be together
Ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba
Ba da ba stay that way forever
And we know that you can go and find some other
Take or leave it cos we've always got each other
You know who you are and yes, you're gonna breakdown
You've crossed the line so you're gonna have to turnaround
Don't you know it's going too fast (ooh, to fast)
Racing so heard you know it won't last (ooh, won't last)
Don't you know why can't you see
Slow it down, read the sign
So you know just where you're going
Stop right now thank you very much
I need somebody with a human touch
Hey you always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Gotta keep it down honey, lay your back on the line
Cos I don't care about the money, don't be wasting my time
You need less speed, get off my case
You gotta slow it down baby, just get out of my face
Stop right now thank you very much
I need somebody with a human touch
Hey you always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Stop right now thank you very much
I need somebody with a human touch
Hey you always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
Stop right now thank you very much
(Stop right now)
I need somebody with a human touch
(We wanna thank, we wanna thank you)
Hey you always on the run
(Stop right now)
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun
(Thank you very much, thank you very much)

We don't like you, we just wanna try you
I'm tired of running, the feeling ain't coming
This all could be simpler, it all could be simpler
But all this is sickness, the feeling ain't in this
'Cause we don't know where to stop
We don't know where to stop
I try and I try but I can't get enough
I won't fail you, you won't bleed for me
Have I been sinful, have I been sinful
It's all been for nothing, your good ain't for nothing
It's hard not to die when your time has been killed off
But I have been grateful you know this could take hold
We don't know where to stop
We don't know where to stop
I try and I try but I can't get enough
I won't fail you, you won't bleed for me
Try keep your head up high
Time burns so deep inside you, rips your throat out
We don't like you, we just wanna try you
I'm tired of running, the feeling ain't coming
This all could be different, it all could be different
But all this is sickness, the feeling ain't in this

'Cause we don't know where to stop
We don't know where to stop
I try and I try but I can't get enough
I won't fail you, you won't bleed for me
