Stop - Spice Girls

Blurb:
"Stop" was the Spice Girls' seventh single release in the United Kingdom (sixth in the United States) and the third release from their second album, Spiceworld. The song is reminiscent of Supremes singles and other classic girl group songs.

This single is seen as the group's second least successful single ever in terms of chart performance and worldwide sales. It only managed to peak at number sixteen on the Billboard Hot 100, two positions higher than "Spice Up Your Life", but dropped out of the top fifty much quicker, making it the girls' least successful United States release.

The video for "Stop" is set in the small town of Carrickmacross, Co. Monaghan in Ireland, in around the late 1950s or early 1960s, with the girls running around the streets dancing, jump roping, hula hooping, and participating in competitions of various kinds. At the end, they all sing on stage at a bar.

Scroll and Sing:
You just walk in, I make you smile,
It's cool but you don't even know me,
You take an inch, I run a mile,
Can't win your always right behind me.

And we know that you could go and find some other,
Take or leave it or just don't even bother,
Caught in a craze, it's just a faze,
Or will this be around forever.

Don't you know it's going too fast,
Racing so hard you know it won't last,
Don't you know, why can't you see,
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you're going.

Chorus:
Stop right now, thank you very much,
I need somebody with the human touch,
Hey you always on the run,
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun.

Do, Do, Do, Do, Do, (x3)
Always be together,
Ba, da, Ba, Ba, (x3)
Stay that way forever.

And we know that you could go and find some other,
Take or leave it cos we've always got each other,
You know who you are and yes, you're gonna breakdown,
You've crossed the line so you're gonna have to turnaround.

Don't you know it's going too fast,
Racing so hard you know it won't last,
Don't you know, why can't you see,
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you're going.

Repeat Chorus

Gotta keep it down honey, lay your back on the line,
Cos I don't care bout the money, don't go wasting my time,
You need less speed, get off my case,
You gotta slow it down baby, just get out of my face.

Repeat Chorus x3

Stop right now, we wanna thank you, we wanna thank you,
Stop right now, thank you very much, thank you very much
