The Hollies

Stop Right There

(Allan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)

Track 2 on album 'Evolution' june 1967



And the power you have over me

won't ever let me be.

It's always holding me-e to you.

And the strange things you say to me,

Why do you play with me?

It's just too sad to see.



Stop right there.

Tell me what you're doing to my mind in there.

Tell me what you're doing. Am I blind?

Long ago, everything about you was for me to hold.

Now my thoughts about you won't stay cold.



And in time I might slip away

into the light of day.

But with you I must sta-ay, it's true.

Wishful thinking will just bring me down.

It's plain to see you own

the ground I'm standing o-on



{Interlude on fiddle}



Stop right there.

Tell me what you're doing to my mind in there.

Tell me what you're doing. Am I blind?

Long ago, everything about you was for me to hold.

Now my thoughts about you won't stay cold.



And in time I might slip away

into the light of day.

But with you I must sta-ay, it's true.

Wishful thinking will just bring me down.

It's plain to see you own

the ground I'm standing o-o-on {last word fades out}
