STOP STOP STOP

The Hollies



See the girl with cymbals on her fingers entering through the door

Rubies glistening from her navel shimmering around the floor

Bells on feet go ting a ling a ling ing going through my head

Sweat is falling just like a tear drop running from her head

Now she's dancing, going through the movements, swaying to and fro

Body moving, bringing back a memory, thoughts of long ago

Blood is rushing, temperature is rising, sweating from my brow

Like a snake her body fascinates me, I can't look away now



CHORUS:

Stop stop stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe

Stop stop stop all the dancing or I'll have to leave



Now she's moving all around the tables luring all in sight

But I know that she cannot see me hidden by the light

Closer closer she is getting nearer, soon she'll be in reach

As I enter into her spotlight, she stands lost for speech.



Repeat chorus



Now I hold her, people are staring, don't know what to think

And we struggle. knocking over tables, spilling all the drinks

Can't they understand that I want her, happens every week

Heavy hand upon my collar throws me in the street



Repeat chorus.
