Monday morning and the Sun is dead
Sky is broken and the clouds are blad
I was always gona to work
Had my coffee then went back to bed
I need, my baby to stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
Baby, 'cause you, you're the only one that knows what I need
Boy and you know, what this ache is really doing at me
If you could stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
I know you change your mind
'Cause baby it's true, you've got little brittle pieces of my heart all over you
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
Thursday morning an I'm lying here
Phone is ringing and you're answering, oh, oh
And I know I should get out of bed, but I keep thinking about the words you said
I ain't you left me stop for a minute, stop for a minute oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
Baby, 'cause you, you're the only one that knows what I need
Boy and you know, what this ache is really doing at me
If you could stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
I know you'd change your mind
'Cause baby it's true, you've got little brittle pieces of my heart all over you
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
You got (little brittle pieces)
(You got) oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, little brittle pieces
Baby, 'cause you, you're the only one that knows what I need
Boy and you know, what this ache is really doing at me
If you could stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
I know you'd change your mind
'Cause baby it's true, you've got little brittle pieces of my heart all over you
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
