Stop Stop Stop (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor

Bells on feet go ting-a ling-a linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just-a like-a tear drops
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

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 a spotlight
She stands lost for speech

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

Break

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

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

Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave


It's You (Clarke / Hicks / Nash)
Don't raise your voice to me
And don't be unkind
I'm just a foolish man
Who doesn't know his mind
There is a reason
I don't love you like I should
And it's you
Yes, it's you
Oh it's you

Try understanding
I'm a simple man at heart
The way you carry on
I think we'll drift apart
I can't afford to live
The way you want us to
So, it's you
Yes, it's you
Oh, it's you

Why can't I love you
Why can't I love you
Cause I'm not the kind of man you are looking for

If everything is wrong
We'll go our separate way
You'll have to find a man
Who does just what you say
To break up is a shame
It spoils the chance we had
But it's you
Yes, it's you
Oh, it's you

Why can't I love you
Why can't I love you
Cause I'm not the kind of man you are looking for

If everything is wrong
We'll go our separate way
You'll have to find a man
Who does just what you say
To break up is a shame
It spoils the chance we had
But it's you
Yes, it's you
Oh, it's you
