Hollies - Stop Stop Stop

stop stop stop : the hollies .
#2 uk and #7 usa in 1966 .

#1 .
D
see the girl with cymbals on her fingers ,

entering through the door .

ruby glistening from her navel ,

shimmering around the floor .

bells on feet go ting – a ling – a linging ,

going through my head .

sweat is falling just like tear drops ,

running from her head .

#2 .
D
now she’s dancing , going through the movements ,

swaying to and fro .

body moving , bringing back a memory ,

thoughts of long ago .

blood is rushing , temperature is rising ,

sweating from my brow .

like a snake , her body fascinates me ,

i can’t look away now .

chorus :
G
stop , stop , stop all the dancing ,
A
give me time to breathe .
G
stop , stop , stop all the dancing ,
A
or i’ll have to leave .

#3 .
D
now she’s moving all around the tables

luring all in sight .

but i know that she cannot see me ,

hidden by the light .

closer , closer , she is getting nearer ,

soon she’ll be in reach .

as i enter into the spotlight

she stands lost for speech .

chorus :
G
stop , stop , stop all the dancing ,
A
give me time to breathe .
G
stop , stop , stop all the dancing ,
A
or i’ll have to leave .

chorus :
G
stop , stop , stop all the dancing ,
A
give me time to breathe .
G
stop , stop , stop all the dancing ,
A
or i’ll have to leave .

#4 .
D
now i hold her , people are staring ,

don’t know what to think .

and we struggle knocking over tables ,

spilling all the drinks .

can’t they understand that i want her ,

happens every week .

heavy hand upon my collar

throws me in the street .

chorus :
G
stop , stop , stop all the dancing ,
A
give me time to breathe .
G
stop , stop , stop all the dancing ,
A D
or i’ll have to le . . . . . . . ave . ( fade . )
