STOP STOP STOP - THE HOLLIES

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,
Lood is rushing, temperature is rising, sweating from my brow
Like a snake, her body fascinates me, I can't look away now

REFREIN / 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 a spotlight, she stands lost for speech

REFREIN / CHORUS
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing, or I'll have to leave (2x)

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

REFREIN /CHORUS
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing, give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing, or I'll have to leave
