Billy Preston › Lyrics › Stop! In the Name of Love

Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over, think it over

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 meet

This time before you leave my arms
And rush off to his charms
(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 night
I've even seen him maybe once or twice
Tell me, is his expression
Worth more than my love and affection?

This time before you leave my arms
And rush off to his 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

Tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time we are together
I'm so afraid that 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
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
