Can't Stop Now - Babert

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning While I've been stood here Dithering around Though I know I said I'd wait around 'til you need me I have to go I hate to let you down But I can't stop now I've got troubles of my own 'Cause I'm short on time I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk I noticed tonight that the world has been turning While I've been stuck here Withering away Though I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind But I have to go It breaks my heart to say That I can't stop now I've got troubles of my own 'Cause I'm short on time I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk To no one back home I've got troubles of my own And I can't slow down for no one in town And I can't stop now And I can't slow down for no one in town And I can't stop now for no one The motion keeps my heart running The motion keeps my heart running The motion keeps my heart running The motion keeps my heart running

I threw away my innocence when I was seventeen Lost track of what's magnificent, forgot my memories But I'm marchin' on to a different drum And nothing will stand in my way No, you can't stop me now No, you can't stop me now Hangin' on by a thread (Thread) Hangin' over my head (Head) But you won't knock me down (Up, up, up, up) Hear the roar of the crowd No, you can't stop me now No, I'm nothin' like you (Hey) I got so much to prove (Prove) No, you won't knock me down (Up, up, up, up) I woke up from a dream, the voices sounded dissonant I followed a path that wasn't mine (Up, up, up, up) Took on the enemy, I told myself I'd never quit I gotta move forward, not back in time Singin', "Ah-ooh, I'm gonna show you, show you" The man in the mirror stole all my pride Ooh, now that I know you No, you can't stop me now No, you can't stop me now Hangin' on by a thread (Thread) Hangin' over my head (Head) But you won't knock me down (Up, up, up, up) Hear the roar of the crowd (Up, up, up, up) No, you can't stop me now (Up, up, up, up) No, I'm nothin' like you (Hey) I got so much to prove (Prove) No, you won't knock me down (Up, up, up, up) Hey, hey! When I was seventeen, I threw away my innocence The worst part of me took over my mind Singin', "Ah-ooh, I'm gonna show you, show you" The man in the mirror stole all my pride Ooh, now that I know you No, you can't stop me now (No, you can't, no, you can't) No, you can't stop me now (Oh, nobody's stopping me) Hangin' on by a thread (Thread) Hangin' over my head (Head) But you won't knock me down (No, you can't, no, you can't, no, you can't, no, you can't) Hear the roar of the crowd (Up, up, up, up) No, you can't stop me now (Up, up, up, up) No, I'm nothin' like you (I'm nothin' like you) I got so much to prove (Got so much to prove) No, you won't knock me down (Whoo!

I'm a bullet from a gun and my heart is the trigger When I was just a kid I would dream I was bigger If you wanna make a name better stand and deliver 'Cause there's a price we pay every loser and winner Oh, can't stop me now (whoa, whoa) Oh, can't stop me now (whoa, whoa) And heavy is the head that wears the crown I'm singing, I'm singing Oh, can't stop me now (whoa, whoa) I've climbed so many mountains, each one's another test It's hard to breathe when it's just you against your Everest They say what doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger Guess, I can shake the world and take the pain a little longer I'm not running from, not running from Running from my kryptonite and I'll keep rising up, keep rising up Oh, can't stop me now (whoa, whoa) Oh, can't stop me now (whoa, whoa) And heavy is the head that wears the crown I'm singing, I'm singing Oh, can't stop me now (whoa, whoa) And heavy is the head that wears the crown I'm singing, I'm singing Oh, can't stop me now (whoa, whoa) Oh, can't stop me now

Every time I'm away I think about you I wish that you were near me Gets so bad at times I talk to myself I wish that you could hear me. I get to thinking how it all started out, and I know, oh I know It may not last forever But in the meantime when the goin' is good, I know, oh I know That we should be together. You gave me everything and then some more When I was cold you opened up the door Don't want to stop I couldn't anyhow You know I'm in too deep and I can't stop now. When I come home I know I don't ever have much to say I'm just glad to be there You ask about the people I've met and the places I've been You ask me what I see there. I see you, I see you everywhere I go I see you all around me On a ship, on a train, on a plane, no matter where I am I feel your love surround me. You gave me everything and then some more When I was cold you opened up the door Don't want to stop I couldn't anyhow You know I'm in too deep and I can't stop now. You gave me everything and then some more When I was cold you opened up the door Don't want to stop I couldn't anyhow You know I'm in too deep and I can't stop now.
