Can't Stop
MONEY/CASH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do they always come in three's?
A sweet disease, I'm on my knees
I'm looking for a medicine to change my ways
I'm tired of using the door
Oh, I don't even remember anyone after her
She s-s-struck like a curse and it feels like a blur
Hey babe, what to do, what to say when I can't stop looking?
Hey, hey, baby tell me what you're looking for
Yeah, I keep waiting around then my head hits the ground
And my love keeps on walking away
Tell me now what to say, what to do? I'll change my ways
Just stare and gaze and watch me roll right through this maze
You're worth the dime, you're worth my time
So lose the guy and let me try to take you for a ride
Hey babe, what to do, what to say when I can't stop looking?
Hey, hey, baby tell me what you're looking for
Yeah, I keep waiting around then my head hits the ground
And my love keeps on walking away
Babe, what to do, what to say when I can't stop looking?
Hey, hey, baby tell me what you're looking for
Yeah, as you reach for the ground with my head in the clouds
Just a thought I'll keep dreaming away
Give me my one wish
You'll be the sweet song from my lips
Leave him with one kiss
And be the drug tied tight to my lips
Hey babe, what to do, what to say when I can't stop looking?
Hey, hey baby tell me what you're looking for
Yeah, I keep waiting around then my head hits the ground
And my love keeps on walking away
Babe, what to do, what to say when I can't stop looking?
Hey, hey, baby tell me what you're looking for
Yeah, as you reach for the ground with my head in the clouds
Just a thought I'll keep dreaming away

I'm tired of using the door
I'm tired of leaving you and always coming back
Oh, I don't even remember anyone after her
No one else can compare to you

Leave him with one kiss
Show your current partner what he's missing with one kiss from me
And be the drug tied tight to my lips
Be the addiction that I can't shake
Yeah, as you reach for the ground with my head in the clouds
As I dream about being with you, you seem out of reach
Just a thought I'll keep dreaming away
I'll keep dreaming about being with you even though it may never happen
