How Do You Stop Songtext
von James Brown

Hmm

Hard bodies
Soft emotions
So fast
So smart
The world is at your feet
But what about your heart?
Fame and power can′t hold you tight
In the late late hours of the night

How do you stop, tell me
Before it's too late?
You gonna lose
If you hesitate

How do you stop
Before it′s too late?
You think love will wait
So you don't hold on
And then it's gone
Ah-ha, and it′s gone


You′ve had some success
A new group of friends
You've called it the good life
Lord it would never never end
One minute you′re too young
Then you're in your prime
Then you′re looking back at the hands of time

How do you stop, young man
Before it's too late?
You choose and you lose
If you hesitate, tell me

How do you stop
Before it′s too late?
Ooh, ooh
You don't hold on
And then it's gone

How do you stop, a runaway train?
How do you stop, the pouring, pouring rain?
How do you stop, the night turning to day?
How do you stop, love from slipping away?
How do you stop, from believing?
How do you stop, lovers from deceiving?
How do you stop, the tide coming in?
How do you stop, cold, cold wind?


(How do you stop?)
Hey, tell me, before it′s too late?
You choose and then you lose
If you hesitate (hesitate)
Hey, how do you stop (How do you stop?)
A runaway train
How do you stop, pouring, pouring rain?
How do you stop, a heart with wings?
And how do you stop, the innocent things?
How do you stop, before it′s too late?
Choose and you lose, heh, heh
If you hesitate
How, how do you stop, before it's too late?
Don′t lie
