Lyric Video
STOP THE WORLD
Stevie J Mayer
Another long day, she just got home from work
It hurts her to think she’s not paid what she’s worth
She thinks to herself why do I stay here at all?
I should be on an island somewhere
Soakin’ up the sun
So she packs her bags, calls her boss
Goodbye George I guess I’m off
I’ll see you around someday
Stop the world, I wanna get off
This old soul has had enough
I just want some time to find myself (I just want some time to find myself)
I’ll be back, in a year or two, it’s been great knowin’ you
Say goodbye to everyone I knew (say goodbye to all I knew)
Now she’s on the plane, in t-shirt and jeans
Her business suit now hangs in St. Vinnies
As the tears of joy start tumblin’ down her face
She’s never felt more alone
Into the great unknown
Stop the world, I wanna get off
This old soul has had enough
I just want some time to find myself (I just want some time to find myself)
Goodbye Jack, goodbye Sue, it’s been nice knowin’ you
Au revoir, farewell and adieu (say goodbye to Jack and Sue)
[INSTRUMENTAL]
(Yeah she said)
Stop the world, I wanna get off
This old soldier’s had enough
I just want some time to find myself
(I just want some time to find myself)
Goodbye old, hello new, think of all the things we’ll do
I just want to find the time to find myself
(I just want some time to find myself)
Yeah, to find myself
