Dont Stop The Music
Yarbrough Peoples Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music
Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music

Don't you know you've got me mesmerized
With the beat I always fantasize
Don't stop the music 'cause it tends to soothe
I can tell you want to groove

Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music (The beat keep goin' 'round and 'round)
Don't you stop it, don't you stop (Turns me upside down)
Don't stop the music

I just wanna rock (All, all night long)
All night long (To my love song, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
I just wanna rock (Just wanna rock you)
All night long (Yeah!), I got a love song (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!)

Everything we do is right on time
The beat's so smooth it blows my mind
Don't stop the music, it's so satisfying
It feels so good to me, there is no denying

Just because it's two o'clock
Don't stop the music
Don't you feel like dancing and prancing?
Don't stop the music

Don't you stop it, don't you stop
Don't stop the music

(You don't really wanna stop, no
You don't really wanna stop, uh-uh
You don't really wanna stop, no
You don't really wanna stop)

You've got me moving, you've got me grooving
Don't stop the music

Don't you stop it, don't you stop (Don't stop the music)
Don't stop the music

(I just wanna rock you) I just wanna rock you (All night long)
All night long (To my love song), oh oh oh oh oh
(I just wanna rock you) I just wanna rock you (All night long)
All night long, hey (To my love song, love song, love song, love song, love song)

I can tell you wanna boogie
I can tell you wanna boogie (Boogie)

Don't you stop it (You don't really wanna stop), don't you stop (No)
Don't stop the music (You don't really wanna stop, uh-uh)

Just because it's two o'clock (Don't stop)
Don't mean that we have to stop (Don't stop)




Just because it's two o'clock (Don't stop)
Don't mean that we have to stop (Don't stop)

This is one of the best synth riffs in synthesizer history... not to mention one of the best drum grooves. So many songs have bitten off this track it's crazy.
