I've laid with fools,
Shook hands with the devil to break free from the rules.
I must confess.
I take more than my share so you could have less.
Live like a motto without any cause.
I've doubted myself.

If you'd only help me stop the world from spinning me around.
I want to stop the world and start all over.
Stop the world before i hit the ground.
I want to stop the world from taking over me.


I've been a thief and i've paid for the privilege with tears of grief.
I'm to blame and my loneliness burns like a ragged flame.
There's blood on my hands. i can't make it go away.
Nothing can keep me from trying.

Chorus
Stop the world from spinning me around.
I want to stop the world and start all over.
Stop the world before i hit the ground.
I want to stop the world from taking over me.

With me or without me, this world keeps on turning. keeps me down!

Live like a motto without any cause.
I've doubted myself.

If you'd only help me stop the world from spinning me around.
I want to stop the world and start all over.
Stop the the world before i hit the ground.
I want to stop the world from taking over me.

Stop! stop! stop! stop!
