Don't Stop Songtext
von Pocketbooks

Oh, I′m tired, I'm tired of all this introspection
Each day being led by committee direction
Just seems somehow all of my friends found the answers (well good for them)
I know, it′s all I can do to stop calling them

And oh, you're tough, your confidence is made by Teflon
I can't hide and I never seem to learn all my lessons
I can′t look, ′cos your eyes burn a hole straight through me (and that's unfair)
I know because all of my secrets are spread round town

And if I start to tell you, I′m not as clued up as I'd like
Just stop me
And if I let slip, there′s something I'm trying to hide
Just stop me
Because a lifestyle where I′m constantly living a lie
Has to be preferable to showing my hand

Oh, I'm lost, I'm lost inside a flippin′ vortex
Spiral down watching everyone else moving forwards
And yeah, yeah, you′re a fragment of hope but you're fake (don′t take offence)
I know, it's like ladders and snakes, but there′s only snakes


And if I start to tell you, that maybe I don't feel like dancing
Don′t stop me
If I let slip, yeah maybe there's someone I fancy
Don't stop me
Because a lifestyle, where I′m constantly showing my hand
Has to be preferable to living a lie

I went on trial at my instigation
Opened my files to investigation
Caught your eye in a conversation
And it might be love, and I might be mistaken
I took advice and I made a statement
A party line of my own creation
You′re a helping hand, I'm appreciation
And it might be love, and I might be mistaken

And if I start to tell you, I′m not as clued up as I'd like
Don′t stop me
And if I let slip, there's something I′m trying to hide
Don't stop me
And if I tell you that maybe I don't feel like dancing
Don′t stop me
If I let slip, yeah maybe there′s someone I fancy
Don't stop me
Because a lifestyle, where I′m constantly showing my hand
Has to be preferable to living a lie
