Don't Let Me Stop You Lyrics
I used to be a little bit shy
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about
My emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day
Pass me by without you explaining what we are
This is going to sound kind of silly
But I couldn't help but notice
The last time you kissed me
You kept both eyes open
Baby can you tell me what does that mean
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on
Don't let me stop you
From doing what you want to do
You don't want to stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No, no, don't let me stop you
If you want to leave, baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true
No, don't let me stop you
A lot of things I can take
Got a high threshold for pain
But let's get one thing straight
I'm not down to share you with anyone
If that's not what you're looking for
Nice knowing you, but there's the door
'Cause I know I can find someone
Who'll give me what I want
This is going to sound kind of silly
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on
Don't let me stop you
From doing what you want to do
You don't want to stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No, no, don't let me stop you
If you want to leave, baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true
No, don't let me stop you
Even if I end up broken-hearted
I won't lie, I don't want to hear goodbye
But either way I'll be alright
Don't let me stop you
From doing what you want to do
You don't want to stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No, no, don't let me stop you
If you want to leave, baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true
No, don't let me stop you
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about
My emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day
Pass me by without you explaining what we are
But I couldn't help but notice
The last time you kissed me
You kept both eyes open
Baby can you tell me what does that mean
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on
From doing what you want to do
You don't want to stick, trust me it's cool
Take no chance, get over you
No, no, don't let me stop you
If you want to leave, baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true
No, don't let me stop you
Got a high threshold for pain
But let's get one thing straight
I'm not down to share you with anyone

No, don't let me stop you

My favorite song on the album...and very relatable.
About a guy who can't decide what he wants and the girl is telling him that he needs to stop being so hot and cold with her because she wants him but if he isn't into her, she can find another who is..
"If you want to leave, baby you can leave Just don't pretend that you're into me If it ain't true"
Great line.
her voice in this entire song gives me fuckin chills omg. amazing song. her best album ever.
I love,love,love this song!
Its one of the best from this album in my opinion
to me this song is about a guy who won't commit, but still wants to have u there for whatever (in my case it was a 2 year hook up). and you never have the courage to ask them to define your relationship or to ask them for more because you're too scared to "ruin" what u have (when in reality you have nothing). and then when u finally get the courage to tell them how u feel and what u want they still are not willing to committ, but still want to keep u around..
but in this song she finally got the courage to move on and tells him "if thats not what your looking for, nice knowing u but there's the door" and that she'll "take no chance, i'll get over you"...
at the same time shes honest and realizes that it wont be easy when she says "even if i end up broken hearted, i won't lie, i don't wanna hear goodbye, but either way i'll be alright".. thats exactly the attitude you need to have when breaking up with someone.. its gonna hurt, but i'll get through it.
EXACTLY RIGHT!!! I like your comment.

Really i've gone through one of the worst relationships ever and this song i can seriously relate to because i've been played with i feel like i've lost 4 yrs of love and additional 3 months extra but feeling extremely used and i loved the one i was with until they snapped badly. i now can no longer take any chances my guard has gone up, and my heart shattered broken shocked fried emotionally ripped apart additonally my heart has taken a severe hit feeling like being stabbed multiple times. this love has left me with nothing but broken shattered...

I so deeply wanted to say to the one i thought i loved why and how could you ever trash my heart in such a way that i have no love left in my heart anymore. I was looking for a person to be with long term not even short term. My family honestly they could see i was trying so hard to make a relationship with this one person work so hard but this person wasn't even trying to fight hard enough to make it work at all. I started feeling like is this all my fault, i for the past 3+ weeks can't even begin to even understand why the pain still continues to hurt so badly. My faith i've turned to trying so desparately to seek the answers i so desparately need to help me understand why i'm still hurting so deeply badly. The one person needed to seek out help and i was trying to save our relationship but in the end this person turned on me when i was doing everything possible to salvage our love. So i deeply ask myself why did i even bother trying to save 3 mos of love i shared with this person and i still can't even come up with a clear answer
Its self-explanitary, A guy and a girl in a relationship or hook-up but shes sick of him jerking her around and getting with other girls. He dosnt really want her he just likes the hooking up.
Shes sick of it.
Then you don't need to be with me And I don't need to hold on
could it be said any better?
love this song - also sang this at the top of my lungs several times the first day I got this CD!!
I want to say this to my ex right now! Between this song, All I ever wanted and Cry - the album is me over the past couple weeks.
if you don't wanna stick, trust me it's cool
...how did she know his eyes were open? isn't that a little contradictory?
but i still love it. one of my favorites on the album.
did you ever think that her eyes WERE closed, then she opened them to look and saw his eyes open and asked him about it and he said he didn't know why he kept them open?

Pfft, it IS the best on this album, by far.
