Stop for a Minute Lyrics by Tracee Ellis Ross

The High Note (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2020

[Verse 1]
Monday morning and the sun is dead
Sky is broken and the clouds are bled
I was always gonna to work
Had my coffee then went back to bed
[Pre-Chorus]
I need my baby to stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute)
[Chorus]
Baby, 'cause you, you're the only one that knows what I need
Boy, and you know what this ache is really doing to me
If you could just stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
I know you'd change your mind
'Cause, baby, it's true
You've got little brittle pieces of my heart all over you
[Post-Chorus]
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
[Verse 2]
Tuesday morning and I'm lying here
Phone is ringing and you're not answering, oh, oh
And I know I should get out of bed
'But I keep thinking 'bout the words you said
I ain't, you left me
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
[Chorus]
Baby, 'cause you, you're the only one who knows what I need
Boy, and you know what this ache is really doing to me
If you could just stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
I know you'd change your mind
'Cause, baby, it's true
You've got little little pieces of my heart all over you
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
[Bridge]
(You got) You got brittle little pieces
(You got) Oh oh oh oh oh
(You got) [?] little brittle pieces
(You got) Oh oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Baby, 'cause you, oh, you're the only one that knows what I need
Boy, and you know what this ache is really doing to me
If you could just stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
I know you'd change your mind, baby
'Cause, baby, it's true
You got little brittle pieces of my heart all over you
[Outro]
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh
(Stop for a minute, stop for a minute, oh)
