Lyrics Stop the World - Goo Goo Dolls

Stop the World

You need someone to hold you
You need something that you ain’t been getting
Yeah, I could be the one
To tell you what to do, but it don’t mean nothing
And you’re holding on forever
But that something just ain’t true
I’m just like you
And I know
It’s what I’d do
Here I go
Because I couldn’t stop the world because I loved you
I couldn’t stop the world and I don’t want to
I couldn’t stop the world and I won’t
Because it ain’t enough
You had another bad day
You let me know that you just can’t take it
I’ve given up on you
You live in truth and I know I can’t fake it
Because the stars you see on dirty sidewalks
And they ain’t for wishing, ooh
They don’t come true
And I know, it’s what I’d do
Here I go
Am I too young for the world?
I’m not too young for the world
And I can’t change for the world
(I don’t need to stop the world)
Because I don’t care for the world
(I'm too young, I’m too young)
I don’t make sense to the world
(I don’t need to stop the world)
(I'm too young, I’m too young)
