Tower of Power - Stop

Whew! Clap your hands everybody!

The other night I was thinking
Of going out and doing some drinking
I didn't think of what I was doing
Another step, I might be ruined
(Blinded) ooohh (by foolish pride) listen
I'll admit, not too clever
I could've died, I guess I better
Wake up it looks like it's time to
Stop (Stop it) Sing the song with me y'all, sing it
Stop it (Stop it) Yeah

It's been awhile that I've been lucid
I haven't done nothing stupid
I can't say I ain't been tempted
Believin' I would be exempted
(Blinded) oh oh oh (by foolish pride) well well
I'll admit, not too clever
I could've slipped, I guess I better
Wake up it looks like it's time to
Stop (Stop it) sing the song like ya mean it, sing it
Stop it (Stop it) uhh

Now this may be my one and only chance to get it right
I don't wanna lose it all without putting up a fight
So I might just wanna
Stop

Without a doubt I've been lucky
It could've been really yucky
No excuse, I just quit trying
Dropped the ball! No use in lying
(Blinded) Ohhh (by foolish pride) Oh
I'll admit, not too clever
I could've slipped and so I better
Wake up cuz it looks like it's time to
Stop (Stop it) sing the song everybody, sing it
Stop it (Stop it)

Now this may be my one and only chance to get it right
I don't wanna lose it all without putting up a fight
So I might just wanna
Stop (Stop it) sing the song like ya mean it everybody Oaktown say
Stop (Stop it) you better sing the song like you really really really mean it
Stop (Stop it) won't be too long 'fore I'll be gone if I don't stop y'all now (Stop it) Band!
(You better stop) wake up! (Stop it) might be time to stop (Stop it) I know I know I gotta gotta gotta
(You better stop) (Stop it) (Stop it) Ohhhh Oooohhh
(You better stop) I think I better stop it (Stop it) right now
I think I better stop it (Stop it) Ooohhh right now
(You better stop) I think I better stop (Stop it) Stop (Stop it) Yeah
(You better stop) (Stop it)
