Stop To Start
Blue Magic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since that day that's all I can do
So when I say that we're through
I only stop
So we could start all over again
I only stop
So we could start all over again
Remember the day that I made you cry
When I told you goodbye
It was only her and I
I only stop
So we could start all over again
I only stop
So we could start all over again
I only stop
When things get rough, here's what we'll do
Kiss and make up, let's keep our love new
So when I say that we're through, oh, oh
I only stop
So we could start all over again (Oh)
I only stop
So we could start all over again ('Cause I love you, baby)
I only stop (Oh, oh)
So we could start all over again (So we can start all over, ooh)
I only stop
So we could start all over again (Can't you see that I love you)
I only stop (Oh, oh)
So we could start all over again ('Cause I need you, baby)
I only stop (Oh, oh)
So we could start all over again (Can't you see that I love you)
The song "Stop to Start" by Blue Magic is about a person who is willing to end a relationship just to start all over again with the same person. The singer in the song begins by reminiscing about the day he met his partner and how he has been thinking about her ever since the day they met. However, things have gone wrong and the two have ended their relationship. Despite this, the singer is not ready to give up and instead sees this as an opportunity to start anew. He knows that they both have made each other cry, but he also says that they have to kiss and make up and keep their love new. So, when he says they are through, he means that they will be through with their current unhealthy state and emerge stronger than ever before.
The song is hopeful in nature and speaks about the value of relationships, especially when there is a willingness to compromise and start anew. It highlights that taking a break, confronting the underlying issues in a relationship, and developing a plan to move forward can be beneficial for both parties. Additionally, this song also emphasizes the fact that forgiveness, understanding, and open communication form the foundation of any healthy relationship.

The very first time I looked at you
From the very first moment I gazed at you
Since that day that's all I can do
Ever since then, I've been constantly thinking of you
So when I say that we're through
Whenever I say that it's over between us
I only stop
I'm only taking a break
So we could start all over again
So that we can begin anew, revive our love
Remember the day that I made you cry
Recall the moment when I caused you to weep
When I told you goodbye
When I bid you farewell
It was only her and I
It was just me and another person
When things get rough, here's what we'll do
During difficult times, here's our solution
Kiss and make up, let's keep our love new
Let's reconcile and maintain a fresh love
So we could start all over again, oh, oh
So that we can restart, oh, oh
'Cause I love you, baby
Because I adore you, my dear
So we can start all over, ooh
So that we can begin anew, ooh
Can't you see that I love you
Don't you realize that I'm in love with you
'Cause I need you, baby
Because I require you, my dear

I pity anyone who wasn't around when songs like this filled the airwaves. Whenever I hear people shouting about how the artists are today, I shake my head as I think, "They don't have a clue." Thanks for posting!

Timeless Music! Why did we ever stop making REAL music like this? Please tell me why. I have a great appreciation for music like this!!! My only child is 22 years old, but I made sure she listened to this kind of music while she was growing up. She likes this new wave stuff, but she appreciates and respects the old school music, too... I made sure of that :)
