"Stop in the Name of Love Lyrics"
The Supremes - Released February 1965
Billboard #1 - March 1965
Performed by Jo Vonna Hill & The Crew
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Baby, baby I'm aware - of where you go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love - you'll meet
But this time before you run - to her
Leaving me alone and hurt
(Think it over)
After I've been good to you
(
Think it over) After I've been sweet to you
Stop! In the name of love
,
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've known of your - your secluded nights
I've even seen her - Maybe once or twice
But is her - sweet expression
Worth more than my love and affection
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush off to her charms
(Think it over)
Haven’t I been good to you
(Think it over)
Haven’t I been sweet to you
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've tried so hard - hard to be patient
Hoping you'd stop this infatuation
But each time - you are together
I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever
Stop! In the name of love
Before you break my heart
(Baby, think it over)
Stop! In the name of love
(think it over, baby)
Before you break my heart
(think it over, baby)
Stop! In the name of love
(Baby, think it over)
Before you break my heart
Stop!
