Dont Stop
The Rolling Stones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you bit my lip and drew first blood
And wore my cold, cold heart
And your wrote your name right on my back
Boy your nails were sharp

Well don't stop
Honey don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop

Well I love your screams of passion
In the long hot summer night
But you pepper me with poison darts
And twisted in your knife

Yeah don't stop
Honey don't stop
I don't stop
Baby don't stop

Well the only thing I ask of you
Is to hand me back some pride
Don't you dump me on some dusty street
And hang me out to dry

Don't stop
Honey don't stop
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop
Oh honey

Yeah I'm losing you
I know your heart is miles away
There's a whisper there where once there was a storm
And all that's left is that image that I'll find a way
And some memories have tattered as they've torn

Don't stop
Don't stop
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop

Honey baby don't stop
Honey honey
Baby don't stop
Baby don't stop

Come on honey don't stop
Well baby
Don't stop
Baby baby don't stop

My honey don't stop




Don't ya stop
Don't stop

Overall Meaning

The Rolling Stones' song, "Don't Stop," is a song about a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics describe a lover who has hurt the singer, yet the singer can't help but be drawn back to them despite the pain. The line "You bit my lip and drew first blood" implies that this lover is someone who likes to play rough, and the line "And your wrote your name right on my back, boy your nails were sharp" suggests that this person has left a lasting mark both physically and emotionally. Despite the pain this person inflicts, the singer can't "stop" loving them, and begs them not to stop either.


The singer also speaks to the lover's poison darts and twisted knife, indicating that they are aware of the ways in which this person has hurt them. They also ask for their pride back, but do not ask for the lover to stop hurting them altogether. It seems that the singer is willing to put up with this lover's mistreatment as long as they don't completely abandon them.


Overall, "Don't Stop" is a song about a dysfunctional relationship where one person is causing pain but both parties are unable to let go. It captures the complicated feelings that can exist within romantic relationships and the grey area between love and pain.

I know your heart is miles away
I understand that you are emotionally distant.


There's a whisper there where once there was a storm
Your passion and intensity have faded, replaced by a quiet, distant presence.


And all that's left is that image that I'll find a way
The only thing remaining is the memory of what once was, but I will continue searching for a solution.


And some memories have tattered as they've torn
Some of our shared memories have been damaged and destroyed.


Come on honey don't stop
Please keep going, my dear.


Well baby
Oh my dear.


My honey don't stop
Please don't stop, my love.


Don't ya stop

[Verse 1]
Well you bit my lip and drew first blood
And warmed my cold, cold heart
And you wrote your name right on my back
Boy, your nails were sharp

[Chorus]
But don't stop
Come on, honey, don't stop
Don't stop
Well, baby, don't stop

[Verse 2]
Well, I love your screams of passion
In the long hot summer night
But you pepper me with poison darts
And twisted in your knife

[Verse 3]
Well, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hand me back some pride
Don't you dump me on some dusty street
And hang me out to dry

I wonder

[Verse 4]
Well, I'm losing you
I know your heart is miles away
There's a whisper there where once there was a storm
And all left is that image that I've filed away
And some memories have tattered as they're torn

Don't, don't ya stop


[Outro]
I know I got me something good
Oh, honey, don't stop
Don't, don't ya stop
