The singer describes a moment of "corporal relations" so passionate it feels like the Earth has stopped rotating.

'Stop the World' Lyrics
Someone stop the world, yeah
Seems like the moment has come and I'm gonna get you girl
The shadows are forming across your parts the vision looks absurd
No one around to interrupt the feelings you stir babe
CHORUS:
Imagine if it was, if this was you, if this was I
So perfectly designed to be here all night
Let the world rage outside, cause when I'm here with you
The world stops for me, the world stops for me
And then extraordinary, ordinary things
Things I can't explain, with subtext, the world stops for me
And girl you know just what I mean, I need you girl...
Sing me a song, sing it soft, sing it long, girl stop my world, oh
CHORUS
Someone stop the world, stop it stop it stop
Someone, someone stop the world, stop the world
We about to stop the world tonight
We're about to love we ain't got no worries no battles
I'm gonna be with my girl tonight
We about to stop the world, stop the world, stop the world
We about to stop the world tonight
We're about to love we aint got no worries no battles
You are my own, yeah
We about to stop the world tonight
Make yourself at home
I'm gonna be with my girl tonight
And lay here all night long
We about to stop the world tonight
Oh yeah

Easily my favorite track on the set. Thank you for putting these up all at the same time so we don't have to wait to listen to them.

Okay, I thought Cold was my new favorite just like I thought Bad Habits was my favorite but now this is my new favorite. When he sang this in concert opening night I thought I'd pass out.

This is very "Prince-like"
Orlando Greenat 6-24-2009
Word - it's Prince-like and almost Marvin-esque to.
Reminds me of NPG Prince era.
Classic nonetheless.
