Stop The World The Four Tops

[Verse 1]
Tell me, has the world run out of love this year?
Oh, don't tell me
(No, don't tell me)
Men have traded dreams of love for hate and fear (No, don't tell me)
Stop this world
That would decide for me what I'm to be
Have I no voice?
It hates me free, it colours me to suit itself
If I've no choice (No, don't tell me)

[Chorus]
Then stop this world and let me off
Stop this world and let me off
(Stop the world and let me off)
You can have this loveless place
(Stop the world and let me off)
Stop this world and let me off
(Stop the world and let me off)
'Cause I can't live, I can't live in all this hate

[Verse 2]
Surely life is more than just a hateful game
A time of shame (Surely life is more)
More than just an endless war of fellow men
Of different skins (Surely life is more)
This life this world has planned for me
Can never be, I'd rather die
Than masquerade or play charade
If I'm not me, then who am I?
