  • Stop me, oh, stop me
    Stop me if you think that you've
    Heard this one before
    Stop me, oh, stop me
    Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before

    Nothing's changed
    I still love you, oh, I still love you
    ...Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love

    I was delayed, I was way-laid
    An emergency stop
    I saw the last ten seconds of life
    I crashed down on the crossbar
    And the pain was enough to make
    A shy, bald, Buddhist reflect
    And plan a mass murder
    Who said lied I'd to her?

    Oh, who said I'd lied because I never? I never !
    Who said I'd lied because I never?
    I was detained, I was restrained
    And broke my knee
    And broke my spleen
    (and then he really laid into me)
    Friday night in Out-patients
    Who said I'd lied to her?

    Oh, who said I'd lied? Because I never, I never
    Who said I'd lied? Because I never

    Oh, so I drank one
    It became four
    And when I fell on the floor ...
    I drank more

    Stop me, oh, stop me
    Stop me if you think that you've
    Heard this one before
    Stop me, oh, stop me
    Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before

    Nothing's changed
    I still love you, oh, I still love you
    Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to, my love

    Set free me why don't you
    get out my life why don't you
    Cause you don't really love me, no
    You just keep my hanging on

    Set me free why don't you girl
    get out my life why don't you babe
    Cause you don't really love me, no, no
    You just keep my hanging on Writer/s: JOHNNY MARR, STEVEN PATRICK MORRISSEY

  • Ruby from San Francisco, CaUmmm okay just to let you know Mark Ronson is not the singer of this song, he's the producer. Daniel Merriweather does the singing, which is the first fact mentioned.
    And also the fact that you think the words are "awesome" contribute in the importance of WHERE & from WHOM the song came from cuuuz were it not for The Smiths and their "awesome words," as you described Krys, this song would not have been made.
    Both versions I love. Smiths cuz Morrissey's tone and emotion, and Ronson's cuz I just love the sound and Merriweather's soulful voice!
  • Krys from Warner Robins, Gai could care less who mark ronson got the song from all i know is he has an amazing voice! the song is awesome, the words are awesome, and he has an incredibly creamy voice that i love listening to
