How Do You Stop

Hard bodies, soft emotions So fast so smart The world's at your feet But what about your heart Fame and power can't hold you tight In the late hours of the night How do you stop (How do you stop) Before it's too late You choose and you lose if you hesitate How do you stop (How do you stop) Before it's too late You think love will wait So you don't hold on and then it's gone Then it's gone You've had some success A new group of friends You called it the "good life" Thought it would never never end One minute you're too young Then you're in your prime Then you're lookin' back Through the hands of time How do you (How do you stop) Before it's too late You choose and you lose if you hesitate How do you stop (How do you stop) Before it's too late You think love will wait You don't hold on and then it's gone How do you stop a runaway train How do you stop the pouring, pouring of rain How do you stop the night turning to day How do you stop love from slipping away How do you stop from believing How do you stop lovers from deceiving How do you stop the tide from coming in How do you stop the cold, cold wind (How do you stop) Before it's too late You choose and you lose if you hesitate How do you stop (How do you stop) Before it's too late You think love will wait So you don't hold on and then it's gone Then it's gone (How do you stop) A runaway train How do you stop pouring, pouring rain How do you stop a heart with wings How do you stop everything How do you stop before it's to late Choose and you lose if you hesitate How do you stop before it's to late It's your life --- How Do You Stop - James Brown
