Stop Me Lyrics

(feat. Daniel Merriweather) 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 smelt 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 spleen And broke my knee (and then he really laced 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 girl Cause you don't really love me, no, no You just keep my hanging on

Meaning of Stop Me

“Stop Me” is a darkly humorous exploration of a long-term, emotionally draining love affair, delivered with Mark Ronson’s signature soulful production. The repeated “Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before” immediately establishes a sense of familiarity and perhaps even self-awareness about the cyclical nature of unhealthy relationships. The lyrics detail a man trapped in a suffocating romance, marked by erratic behavior – alcohol consumption, near-death experiences (“emergency stop,” “broke my spleen”), and increasingly desperate attempts to regain control. Despite the chaos and pain, he clings to his love, albeit with diminishing intensity ("only slightly less"). The constant questioning “Who said I’d lied?” reveals a deep sense of betrayal and self-doubt, suggesting a pattern of deception fueling the relationship's dysfunction. Ultimately, Ronson and Merriweather capture a feeling of being stuck, desperately seeking an escape while acknowledging the enduring, if warped, connection.
