Barbara Pennington Don't Stop The World
Don't stop the world
Oh, don't stop the world
You can't buy me that for any amount, yeah
Yeah
It's too late to be sorry now
There are no excuses that I'll allow
Flowers and candy can't repair
The broken dream I tried to share
Telephone calls only run up your bill
But they won't change my strong will
You think that you've got money to burn
But I've passed the point of no return
Yeah, yeah
Don't stop the world
Oh, don't stop the world
Don't waste your bank account
Don't stop the world
(Don't stop the world)
Oh, don't stop the world
You can't buy me that for any amount
Did you think that I'd fall for your charm
Run like a fool back into your arms?
Where were you when the hurt was there
When the pain got too much to bear?
You wouldn't listen to your friends' advice
So don't wonder why I'm cold as ice
Diamonds and gold won't change my mind
You're part of my life that I left behind
Don't stop the world
(Don't stop the world)
Oh, don't stop the world
Don't waste your bank account
(Don't stop your bank account, baby)
Don't stop the world
(Don't stop the world)
Oh, don't stop the world
You can't buy me that for any amount
There is nothin' more to say
(There's nothin' more to say)
You've tried it all anyway
(Tried it all anyway)
Yesterday I crawled back to you
(I crawled back to you)
But it's too late and we are through
Don't stop the world
(Don't stop the world)
Oh, don't stop the world
Don't waste your bank account
(Don't waste your money, no, no, no, no, no)
Don't stop the world
(Don't stop the world)
Oh, don't stop the world
You can't buy me that for any amount
Pick yourself up off the floor now
Turn on back and walk out the door now
'Cause it's too late to be sorry
Don't want you stoppin' the world
Pick yourself up off the floor now
Turn on back and walk out the door now
'Cause it's too late to be sorry
Don't want you stoppin' the world
Don't stop the world
(Don't stop the world, baby)
Oh, don't stop the world
Don't waste your bank account
Don't stop the world
Oh, don't stop the world
You can't buy me that for any amount
Don't stop the world
(Don't stop the world)
Oh, don't stop the world
Don't waste your bank account
(Don't waste your money, baby)
Don't stop the world
(Don't stop the world)
Oh, don't stop the world
You can't buy me that for any amount
Don't stop the world
