How Do You Stop? Lyrics - Mitchell Joni

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? (How do you stop?) 

Oh, before it's too late 

You choose and you lose if you hesitate 

How do you stop? (How do you stop?) 

Before it's too late 

You think love will wait 

So you don't hold on, oh and then it's gone 

(How do you stop?) 

You've had success 

Lots of fancy friends 

You've tasted the the "good life" 

You thought it would never never end 

One day you're too young 

Then you're in your prime 

Then you're lookin' back 

At the hands of time 

How do you stop? (How do you stop?) 

Before it's too late 

Boy, you choose and you lose if you hesitate 

How do you stop? (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?) 

How do you stop a runaway train? (How do you stop?) 

How do you stop the driving rain? 

How do you stop the ripening corn? (How do you stop?) 

How do you stop the baby being born? 

How do you stop? 

Before it's too late 

You choose and you lose if you hesitate 

How do you stop? (How do you stop?) 

Before it's too late 

How do you stop? (How do you stop?) 

You're lost if you hesitate 

How do you stop? (How do you stop?) 

Love from slipping away 

How do you stop? (How do you stop?) 

Before it's too late
