Rick James
Stop It
[Intro]
Yeah, it's so good to see you again, baby
You know I've missed you in a big way, don't you?
You've been gone a little bit too long, baby
And I hope we can finally put this thing back together
Before everything else come, I'll consider you a friend

[Verse 1]
Here I go again, losing my mind
Thinking you are my friend (Yeah)
You do it your way, I'll do it mine, again (That's right)
You believe that everything that you say is right and I'm always wrong
You never listen, you never hear my song

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes, you're cold, as cold as ice
Like the icy winter snow
Sometimes you're warm, as warm as fire
Like the summer in Morocco
But when we're in bed at night all alone, it seems
You just turn away and dream

[Chorus]
Why do you want to stop, before we begin?
Ooh wee, baby
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Tell me why, tell me why
[Verse 2]
When you left me the last time you said "Goodbye"
You truly broke my heart
What was I doing? What tore us both apart?
What did I ever do to make you wanna leave me, baby?
Now you're back and say you've changed your ways
How do I know that's true?
Do you still need me? I'm so in love you
I need you back in my life

[Pre-Chorus]
You're like a bird
You fly so high when you're out there on your own
Now that you're here
I feel so good 'cause you're finally back home, yeah
But when we're in bed at night all alone it seems
You just turn away and dream

[Chorus]
Why do you want to stop (stop) before we begin?
Ooh wee, baby, yeah
Tell me why, baby
Why you wanna stop me, baby? Yeah
Tell me why, baby

[Outro]
Been so good to you, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why, baby?
Bought you everything you ever wanted, baby
Didn't I, baby? Didn't I, baby? Didn't I, baby?
Gave you everything you ever needed
Didn't I, baby? Didn't I, baby? Yeah, yeah
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, baby?
Why you wanna stop me, girl?
Why you wanna stop me?
Why?
