how do you stop

hard bodies

soft emotions

so fast

so smart

the world at your feet

but what about your heart?

fame and power can't hold you tight

in the late hours of the night

how do you stop

before it's too late?

you choose and you lose

if you hesitate

how do you stop

before it's too late?

you think love will wait

you don't hold on

and then it's gone

then it's gone

you've had some success

a new couple of friends

you're caught in the good life

you thought it would never

never end

one day then you're in your prime

then you're lookin' back

through the hands of time

how do you stop

before it's too late?

you choose and you lose

if you hesitate

how do you stop

before it's too late?

you don't hold on

and then it's gone

how do you stop

a runaway train?

how do you stop

the cold

cold rain?

how do you stop

love from leaving?

how do you stop. how do you stop

before it's too late?

how do you stop?

how do you stop?

how do you stop

before it's too late?

you choose and you lose

if you hesitate

how do you stop

before it's too late?
