Stop! In The Name Of Love

The Supremes

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)



Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart



Baby, baby

I'm aware of where you go

Each time you leave my door

I watch you walk down the street

Knowing your other love you'll meet

But this time before you run to her

Leaving me alone and hurt

(Think it over) After I've been good to you ?

(Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?



Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart

Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart

Think it over

Think it over



I've known of your

Your secluded nights

I've even seen her

Maybe once or twice

But is her sweet expression

Worth more than my love and affection ?

But this time before you leave my arms

And rush of to her charms

(Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ?

(Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?



Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart

Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart

Think it over

Think it over



I've tried so hard, hard to be patient

Hoping you'd stop this infatuation

But each time you are together

I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever



Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart

Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart

Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart



Baby, think it over

Think it over, baby

Ooh, think it over baby...
