Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop it, stop it girl
I said stop it girl
Look what you're doin' to me
I said it's just not right now can't you see
This ain't the way it's supposed to be
I should be loving you and you loving me
Stop girl before he breaks your heart
Stop girl before he breaks your heart
I'm the one that loved you right from the start
Stop girl don't let him bring you down
I'm the one that needs you
And I'll be around
He could never love you like I love you girl
He could never say the things like
I need you in my world
Girl I really love you
But you won't give me your time
You tell me that he loves you so
And you can't make up your mind
Girl he's not true
None of his love is for you
It's all not true
It's not true baby
Stop girl before he breaks your heart
I'm the one that loved you right from the start
Stop girl don't let him bring you down
I'm the one that needs you
And I'll be around
I guess I'm gonna love you for my whole life long
Girl he's not the one for you
I couldn't tell ya nothing wrong
Just tell me that you love me
Let me take you by the hand
Girl my love is oh so true
Try and understand
Girl it's so true
All of my love is for you
It's all so true
It's true baby
Stop girl before he breaks your heart
I'm the one that loved you right from the start
Stop girl don't let him bring you down
I'm the one that needs you
And I'll be around
Stop it girl
Stop it girl
Stop girl before he breaks your heart
Don't let him break your heart
I'm the one that loved you right from the start
Right from the start
Stop girl don't let him bring you down
Don't let him bring ya down
I'm the one that needs you
And I'll be around
I'll be around
Stop girl before he breaks your heart
Oh baby
I'm the one that loved you right from the start
Stop girl don't let him bring you down
Don't let him bring ya down
Don't let him don't let him
Bring you down
"Stop It Girl" is a song by New Kids on the Block about a man who is trying to win a girl's heart, but she is torn between two guys. The singer sings about how he loves her and how her current love interest is not good for her. He pleads with her to stop seeing him and to choose him instead because he has always been there for her. The song warns the girl of the potential heartbreak if she continues to stay in the current relationship.
The chorus "Stop it, stop it girl" is a refrain that emphasizes the warning the singer is giving the girl. The song's 80s sound, catchy melody, and upbeat tempo make it a fun and memorable track. The lyrics' simple and straightforward nature conveys the singer's sincere feelings towards the girl and the message he wants to communicate.
The song was released in their self-titled debut album "New Kids on the Block" in 1986. The album was produced by Maurice Starr, who discovered the group in 1984. It reached #30 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The album was eventually certified 3x multi-platinum by the RIAA.
