[Hook]
Stop it! Stop it, girl!
Stop it! Stop it, girl!

[Verse 1]
I said stop it, girl
Look what you’re doing to me
I said it’s just not right, now can’t you see?
This ain’t the way it’s supposed to be
I should be loving you and you loving me

[Chorus]
Stop, girl
Before he breaks your heart
Stop, girl
Before he breaks your heart
I’m the one who loves you
Right from the start
Stop, girl
Don’t let him bring you down
I’m the one who needs you
And I’ll be around

[Verse 2]
He could never love you like I love you, girl
He could never say the things like I need you in my world
Girl, I really love you
But you won’t give me your time
You tell me that he loves you so
And you can’t make up your mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, he’s not true
None of his love is for you
It’s all not true
It’s not true, baby
Ooh

[Chorus]
Stop, girl
Before he breaks your heart
Stop, girl
Before he breaks your heart
I’m the one who loves you
Right from the start
Stop, girl
Don’t let him bring you down
I’m the one who needs you
And I’ll be around

[Bridge]
I guess I’m gonna love you
For my whole life long
Girl, he’s not the one for you
I couldn’t tell you nothing wrong
Just tell me that you love me
Let me take you by the hand
Girl, my love is oh so true
Try and understand

[Breakdown]
Girl, it’s so true
All of my loving for you
It’s all so true
So true, baby
Ooh
Stop it, girl!
Stop it, girl

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Stop, girl
Before he breaks your heart
Stop, girl
Before he breaks your heart
I’m the one who loves you
Right from the start
Stop, girl
Don’t let him bring you down
I’m the one who needs you
And I’ll be around
Stop, girl
Before he breaks your heart
Stop, girl
Before he breaks your heart
I’m the one who loves you
Right from the start
Stop, girl
Don’t let him bring you down
I’m the one who needs you
And I’ll be around
