Lyrics

Stop the world and let me off
(Stop the world and let me off)
I'm tired of going round and round
(Stop the world and let me off)
I've played the game of love and lost
(Stop the world and let me off)
So stop the world and let me off
(Stop the world and let me off)

My heart is shattered, can't you see?
'Cause you no longer care for me
But someday I hope you'll see
Loving you done rest to me

Stop the world and let me off
(Stop the world and let me off)
I'm tired of going round and round
(Stop the world and let me off)
I've played the game of love and lost
(Stop the world and let me off)
So stop the world and let me off
(Stop the world and let me off)

My dream world tumbled to the ground
The one I love has let me down
I lost the wonder of her kiss
How could she leave me here like this

Stop the world and let me off
(Stop the world and let me off)
I'm tired of going round and round
(Stop the world and let me off)
I've played the game of love and lost
(Stop the world and let me off)
So stop the world and let me off
(Stop the world and let me off)
