Stop In The Name Of Love Lyrics

Stop In The Name Of Love lyrics

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)

Stop! In the name of
love
Before you break my heart

Baby, baby
I'm aware of where you
go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the
street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run
to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over) After I've been good to
you ?
(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the
name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of
love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've
known of your
Your secluded nights
I've even seen her
Maybe once or
twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection
?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush of to her
charms
(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?
(Think it over)
Haven't I been sweet to you ?

Stop! In the name of love
Before you
break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my
heart
Think it over
Think it over

I've tried so hard, hard to be
patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time you are
together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever

Stop! In the name
of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you
break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my
heart

Baby, think it over
Think it over, baby
Ooh, think it over
baby...
