Lyrics and translation
Original
Stop in the name of love Before you break my heart
Baby, baby, I'm aware of the worry You go
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing you're out lovin' me
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me alone and hurt Take it over I've been good to you
Take it over
I've been sweet to you
Stop in the name of love Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love Before you break my heart
Take it over
Take it over
Ooh-ooh
All day long, I hear my telephone ring Friends calling, giving their advice
From the boy I love I should break away 'Cause heartaches he'll bring one day
I love him and you can't advise But it's not all night and fight What all advice never got to me Was many lonely, sleepless nights
But now he's back in my arms again
Right by my side
I got him back in my arms again
So satisfied
I've been crying
Ooh-ooh 'Cause I'm lonely
For you Smiles have all turned
To tears But tears won't wash away the fear
That you're never, ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns It keeps me crying, baby, for you
Keeps me sighing, baby, for you So won't you hurry Come on, boy See about me Oh, see about me See about me, baby Oh, see about me I've given up my friends just For you My friends are gone and you
Have too No peace shall I find Until you come back and be mine
No matter what you do or say
I'm gonna love you anyway Keep on trying, baby, for you I'm gonna keep sighing, baby, for you So come on and hurry
Come on and see about me Oh, see about me See about me, baby Oh, see about me
This love bug's been bitten me
Didn't it mean for him to get me?
Woo, yeah
In a moment And I'm filled with desire
No, no,
I can't stop the fire
Love is a real live wire
Ooh, it's a burning sensation Far beyond imagination
Love is like an itching in my heart Tearing it all apart It's an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it Keeps me sighing, ooh
Keeps me yearning No, no, I can't help sighing
No, I can't help yearning I think it's out of love, boy And I need some information To help me out this situation Now that you're here to take a feel And now I've asked to take your fill What you gonna do? Oh yeah When love gets a hold, a hold on you
Love is like an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it
Love is an aggravation Causing my heart complication Love is a burning obsession And I can't love in correction
Got me rocking and a-reeling And I can't shake the feeling
Love is like an itching in my heart Tearing it all apart It's an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it
Whoo!
And I'm in the mood And I feel what you're saying No, no,
I can't fight the fire
Love is a real live wire
Ooh, it's the greatest sensation Far beyond imagination
Love is like an itching in my heart And it all apart Is an itching in my heart And baby, I can't scratch it
Baby, baby, baby believe me
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself
I've got this burning, burning, yearning Feeling inside me, ooh, deep inside me
And it hurts so bad
You came into my heart
So tenderly
With a burning love
That stings like a bee Now that I surrender
So helplessly You now wanna leave
Ooh, you wanna leave me Ooh-ooh Baby love, my baby love I need you, oh, how I need you But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me what did I do wrong To make you stay away so long 'Cause baby love, my baby love Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissing and making up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms why don't you stay Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh baby love
Baby love, my baby love Why must we separate my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need
Ooh, ooh
Need to hold you once again, my love Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away
Please don't do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me My love, my baby love
I need ya, oh, how I need ya
Why you do me like you do
After I've been true to you So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, ooh Till it's baby love, till it's baby love
