"Stop And Think"

Stop and think a while before you leave and say goodbye
You know you'd better stop
Stop it baby
Stop and think a while before you leave and say goodbye

You know you'd better
If you leave I know my life will never be the same
One more chance that's all I ask
My heart is full of shame

Let me explain
Ooh, I fooled around and took the chance on a one night fling
You caught me wrong
I promise you girl I'll try my best to do the right thing

Stop and think a while before you leave and say goodbye
You know you'd better stop
Stop it baby
Stop and think a while before you leave and say goodbye

Wait a minute now
There's one thing I'd like to say if you have the time
I'll confess the wrong I've done
If you say you're mine😍😍

Ooh, I fooled around and took the chance on a one night fling

The Trammps was a very underrated band in the seventies. They were great musicians and had a tremendous lead vocal in Jimmy Ellis.

Jimbo

The Trammps...the best disco band ever. Great sound, great vocals. I was working at Atlantic Records when Disco Inferno came out on our label. Awesome! But, their earlier tracks: Stop and Think and Save a Place are two of my favorites as well as Love Epidemic. But there are many other tracks that were great and hold up, even to this day.

Neil Murray

They dominated the disco floors in NYC in 70’s before Disco Inferno and another classic β€œWhere Happy People Go” always a club favorite. Thanks for great memories.

Robert Jones

100% agree πŸŽΆπŸ‘
