Stop This World
Stop this world, and let me off
There's just too many pigs in the same trough
There's too many buzzards just a-sittin' on the fence
Stop this world, it's not makin' sense
Stop this show, hold the phone
Better days, better days this woman has known
Mmm, better days so long ago
So hold the phone, won't you please stop the show
It seems my little playhouse has fallen down
Seems little ship has done run aground
I feel like I'm in the wrong place
And my state of mind is a disgrace, so
Stop this game, deal me out
I know too well what it's all about
I know too well that it had to be
So stop this game 'cause it's ruining me
Well, I got too smart for my own good, and
I just don't do the things that everybody knows I should, and
There's bound to be, bound to be some better way, and
An' I just got, I got one more thing more to say
And that is
Stop this game and deal me out
I know too well, I know too well what it's all about
Yeah, I know too well that it had to be
So stop this game 'cause it's ruining me
Stop the show 'cause it just had to be
Stop this world 'cause it's wrecking me
There's just too many pigs in the same trough
There's too many buzzards just a-sittin' on the fence
Stop this world, it's not makin' sense
Stop this show, hold the phone
Better days, better days this woman has known
Mmm, better days so long ago
So hold the phone, won't you please stop the show
It seems my little playhouse has fallen down
Seems little ship has done run aground
I feel like I'm in the wrong place
And my state of mind is a disgrace, so
Stop this game, deal me out
I know too well what it's all about
I know too well that it had to be
So stop this game 'cause it's ruining me
Well, I got too smart for my own good, and
I just don't do the things that everybody knows I should, and
There's bound to be, bound to be some better way, and
An' I just got, I got one more thing more to say
And that is
Stop this game and deal me out
I know too well, I know too well what it's all about
Yeah, I know too well that it had to be
So stop this game 'cause it's ruining me
Stop the show 'cause it just had to be
Stop this world 'cause it's wrecking me
