How Do You Stop? Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

by Dan Hartman and Charlie Midnight 

Hard bodies 

Soft emotions 

So fast 

So smart 

The world is at your feet 

But what about your heart? 

Fame and fortune can't hold you tight 

In the late 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 

So you don't hold on 

And then it's gone

You've had success- 

Lots of fancy friends 

You've tasted the good life 

You thought it would never end 

One day you're too young 

Then you're in your prime 

Then you're looking back at 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 think love will wait 

So you don't hold on 

And then it's gone

How do you stop a runaway train? 

How do you stop the driving rain? 

How do you stop the ripening corn? 

How do you stop a baby being born? 

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? 

How do you stop? 

You're lost if you hesitate ... 

How do you stop 

Love from slipping away? 

How do you stop 

Before it's too late?
