Lyrics
When I think about those nights in Montreal
I get the sweetest thoughts of you and me
Memories of love above the city lights
Oooo, I’ve tried so hard to take it
But alone my heart won’t make it
I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you, babe
I just wanna stop
I never wanna live without you, babe
I just gotta stop
For your love…
Oooo…
For your love
(for your lo… ve)
When I think about the way the world must turn
(the world must turn)
I get the saddest thoughts for you and me
(you and me)
Memories of life from times go on and on
Oooo, I try hard to forget it
But alone my mind won’t let it
I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you, babe
I just wanna stop
The world ain’t right without you, babe
I just gotta stop
For your love
Oooo, I try so hard to take it
But I know my heart won’t make it
I just wanna stop
And tell you what I feel about you, babe
I just wanna stop
The world ain’t right without you, babe
I just wanna stop
For your love
I just wanna stop
(hoo, hoo, hoo)
I just wanna stop
And tell you (hoo, hoo, hoo) what I feel about you, babe
I just wanna stop
The world (hoo, hoo, hoo) ain’t right without you babe
I just wanna stop
(hoo, hoo, hoo)
I just wanna stop
