Lyrics

(Ooh)
(Ooh)
You offer me
All your love and sympathy
Sweet affection baby
It's killing me
(Ah, ah)
'Cause baby baby
Can't you see
How could I stop
Once I start baby
How could I stop
How could I stop once I start
How could I stop
Yeah yeah
How could I stop once I start
You look at me
But I don't know what you see
A reflection baby
Of what I want to be
I see your face
And I want to roll with it
(Ah, ah)
But how could I stop
Baby how could I stop
How could I stop
Stop it, stop it
If I could, I'd take you all the way
Baby, baby listen what I say
(Ah, ah)
There's even some things
That I just would not pay
'Cause how could I stop
If I start babe
How could I stop
How could I stop if I start
Start with you
How could I stop
If I start, baby
How could I stop
How could I stop if I start with you baby
(Ah)
It's too easy to lay here at your feet
(Ooh)
I couldn't take the heat
There's somewhere else
Maybe you should go
Baby maybe baby
Just a further down the road
How could I stop
If I start with you baby
How could I stop
How could I stop
Once I start
How could I stop
You tell me baby
Once I've started with you
How could I stop
Once I start
How could I stop
Stop, stop, stop
(Ah, ah)
(Ooh)
How could I stop (Ooh)
(Ooh)
How could I stop
How could I stop
How could I stop
