Stop Before I Cry

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know that I'm not perfect just like I know you are wild I know that though we're both grown up, I still feel like a child inside And I want to go out dancing, soon as the world returns 'Cause baby, when you're dressed up, well, it's hard to find the words And if you look into my soul and you told me what you see You'd say "I see the mirror that you put in front of me" Oh, don't take me to the start, no, I want to go forward Baby, if we part, Katie, if I hide Then I can live in your songs forever, and you can live in mine [Chorus] 'Cause Katie when you sing to me It's like a melody-ee-ee Comin' off the mountain-in Comin' out the sea-ee-ee Stoppin' at the plains Up into a Mеmphis sky Katie, stop the song now Stop beforе I cry [Post-Chorus] Stop before I cry Stop before I cry Stop before I cry Stop before I cry [Verse 2] And you know they'll feed us fruit right before they suck our blood Yeah, they'll fill us up with sugar while they drag us through the mud And it's hard to find the freedom that we feel when we're asleep 'Cause right now I am wide awake, always stuck inside a dream And I know that you got secrets and you know I got them too 'Cause you've seen me ride a nightmare, honey, and you taught me how to shoot Oh, remember when we met, how we were so young You were still suckin' on a bottle like it was suckin' on God's thumb But from stage, you would take flight and whistle like a songbird While swayin' in a blue dress, you'd turn the crowd into a big mess [Chorus] 'Cause Katie when you sing to me It's like a melody-ee-ee Comin' off the mountain-in Comin' out the sea-ee-ee Stoppin' at the plains Up into a Memphis sky Katie, stop the song now Stop before I cry [Post-Chorus] Stop before I cry Stop before I cry Stop before I cry Stop before I cry [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] You can get lost forever when your heart is a desert And you can lose your mind when it's stormin' all the time But I want to go out dancing soon as the world returns 'Cause, Katie, when you're dressed up, honey, oh, it's hard to find the words
