Stop Stop Stop

Stop Stop Stop:The Hollies.
#2 UK and #7 USA in 1966.

#1.
D
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 like tear drops,

running from her head.

#2.
D
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.

CHORUS:
G        
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
A
give me time to breathe.
G
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
A
Or I'll have to leave.

#3.
D
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 the spotlight

she stands lost for speech.

CHORUS:
G        
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
A
give me time to breathe.
G
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
A
Or I'll have to leave.

CHORUS:
G        
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
A
give me time to breathe.
G
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
A
Or I'll have to leave.

#4.
D
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.

CHORUS:
G        
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
A
give me time to breathe.
G
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing,
A                        D
Or I'll have to le.......ave.(Fade.)
