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

No date tonight, or no date for the weekend. Oh, No !
Its only Love, Its only love you seeking .
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
She holds me tight and shows me good vibration.
And she feels so real, until I awaken .
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
(MUSIC BREAK)
Still I sit too shy to tell her my feelings. Missing every chance to show her a ball.
Wishing other guys would leave her alone.
Until I can call, I Sit Alone, Again, while she goes out with him.
Sitting here, all alone, waiting by the telephone.
She's gone out with him . Come on home.
I think I finally got the nerve.
She's still out with him.
I think I finally got the nerve.
She's still out with him.
