Stop
Diana Ross Marvin Gaye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woah-oh-oh, oooh

You're alone, all the time
Does it ever bother you? Have you asked why?
You seem, to fall in love, and out again
Do you really ever love? Or just pretend?
Oh baby, why fool yourself?
Don't be afraid, to help yourself
It's never too late, to late to

Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Love, oh, love, love

Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you, will open up, let it in
There's no shame in sharing love, you feel within
So jump right in
Head over heels, and fall right in
It's never too late, to late to

Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Stop, look, oh, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Love, love, love

Ooo, hey
Darlin', darlin', stop and look
(Stop right now and listen to your heart)
Oh, listen to your heart hear what it's saying
(Can't you see that it's not too late)
Stop and look and listen to your heart hear what it's saying
Stop and listen to your heart right now
(Stop, look, listen to your heart hear what it's saying)
Oh, can't you see that it's not too late
(Stop, look, listen to your heart hear what it's saying)
Darlin' stop and look and listen to your heart hear what it's saying
(Stop baby)




Stop right now and listen to your heart
(And listen to your heart hear what it's saying)

The singer urges the listener not to fool themselves and instead take steps to help themselves.


The song then gets to the heart of the matter. The performer states that the listener cannot hide the things they feel and demands that they open up to love.

Verse 1: Marvin Gaye]
You're alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you? Have you asked why?
You seem to fall in love and out again
Do you really ever love or just pretend, oh, baby?
Why fool yourself?
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye]
Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Stop, look, listen to your heart
Hear what it's saying
Love, oh, love, love

[Verse 2: Diana Ross]
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, let it in
There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
So jump right in
Head over heels and fall right in
It's never too late, too late to
