Don't Stop The Music
Cullum Jamie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm making my way over to my favorite place
I gotta get my body moving
Shake the stress away
I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way
Possible candidate (yeah)
Who knew
You're making staying over here impossible
Baby I must say your aura is incredible
If you don't have to go, don't
Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
Now we're rocking on the dance floor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
Now we're face to face
I wanna take you away
Lets escape into the music
DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Lets escape into the music
DJ let it play
Like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
I said baby
Baby are you ready cause it's getting close
Don't you feel the passion ready to explode
What goes on between us no one has to know
This is a private show (oh)
Do you know what you started
I just came here to party
But now we're rocking on the dance floor
Acting naughty
Your hands around my waist
Just let the music play
We're hand in hand
Chest to chest
Now we're face to face, 'cause
I wanna take you away
Lets escape into the music
DJ let it play
I just can't refuse it
Like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music
I wanna take you away
Lets escape into the music
DJ let it play
Like the way you do this
Keep on rocking to it
Please don't stop the music
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the
Please don't stop the music (hey!)
Please don't stop the music (oh!)
(Yeah)

@osato.empire

@borntoclimb7116
Agree

@Dimasstywan
why is he so underrated it makes me so sad he is way more talented than many mainstream musicians out there
@rocket0237
akadimas I wouldn't say he's that underrated ..he's pretty big in the U.K. or atleast I think so. Last I checked he had his own show on BBC radio.
But I totally agree, he should be on the radio but then I don't think his music would be as special to me lol
@Dimasstywan
yes he is known but he deserve more recognition i guess like huge haha
@monica_48
Every time i hear this song i want cry😭😭 Winner Fighting! Good Job Callum😄
@MalakaiDerg
Chilean here. This song used to be on the radio actually!
@chrisburnett1638
akadimas jazz in general is underrated, let alone being a jazz pianist
@romariorocha8205
Possibly the more terrific version of this song I've ever heard
