(WILL YOU) STOP THAT
Every time I close my eyes
I see you there
With me or some other guy
You’re my thoughts-- it’s not fair
Never tried to bother you
From what I’ve known
Always asking what you’d do
Why won’t you leave me alone?
Chorus:
Will you . . . stop that . . .
Get out of my mind
Stop making me think of you
. . . Will you stop that
Can’t see anything with
Your face always in my view
Have to get the though of you
Out of my brain
Stop and try to start anew
But I can’t stand the pain
Should have known you’d cloud my head
All the things you’ve done and said
Just confused my naive heart
Chorus
(Guitar solo, breakdown from bass, then bridge)
Bridge:
Have to fight - Try to think independently
See the light - You are not what I think you be
It’s too bright - Can’t let you get away from me
Back to night - [I can’t help it]- I need you, baby, can’t you see?
You’re sunshine but you block out
Everything else
What am I talking about?
I’m just kidding myself
Don’t love me but I love you
And that’s a shame
But the things you say and do
How can you say I’m to blame?
Chorus (Repeat to fadeout).
