if your life
                               lets you all the way down
                               turns you all the way around
                               think about me

                               late at night
                               you don't see your way through
                               nothin's breakin for you
                               think about me

                               cause I can stop the world from hurting
                               I can hold the waters back
                               I can take away your yearning
                               when your life is lookin black to you
                               there's only me and you

                               and when will you laugh
                               there must be an end somewhere
                               must be an answer there
                               baby it's me

                               you're caught in the past
                               you fears are falling on you
                               don't you see me here with you
                               baby it's me

                               and I can stop the world from hurting
                               I can hold the waters back
                               I can take away your yearning
                               when your life is lookin black to you
                               there's only me and you

                               me and you
                               there's only me and you
                               i'll stop the world
                               i'll hold you up
                               i'll stop the world
                               i'll make it alright
                               i'll give you my love
                               i'll stop the world
                               we're gonna make it through the night
                               i'll stop the world
                               i'll stop the world

                               it's you and me
                               oh - ho stop the world
                               i'll stop the world

                               baby I can stop the world from hurting
                               I can hold the waters back
                               I can take away your yearning
                               when your life is lookin black to you
