How Do You Stop

James Brown

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, tell me, before it's too late? 
You choose and you lose if you hesitate 
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 - aha - then it's gone

You've had such success - a new group of friends 
You called it the good life
You thought it would never, never end
One minute you're too young, and then you're prime
Then you're looking back at the hands of time 

How do you stop, tell me, before it's too late? 
You choose and you lose if you hesitate 
Tell me, how do you stop before it's too late? 
Ooh ooh, you don't hold on
And then it's gone 

How do you stop a runaway train 
How do you stop the pouring, pouring rain 
How do you stop the night turn to day 
How do you stop love from slipping away? 

How do you stop from believing
How do you stop ???lovers brought us evening??
How do you stop the tide coming in
How do you stop cold, cold wind

How do you stop - how, tell me - before it's too late? 
Before it's too late, mmh
You choose and then you lose if you hesitate - hesitate

Hey, 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 the essence things 

How do you stop before it's too late 
You choose and you lose if you hesitate
How, how do you stop before it's too late to love
