I worked fifteen hours today I didn't plan my life this way I spend a lifetime making money And going out my mind I don't wanna spend it all Just spend my time If we could stop the world Maybe you could be my girl Maybe I could give you some things That I promised you Oh if we could stop the world Maybe I could be your girl Oh if I could stop the world for you My phone didn't stop buzzing today It could buzz my life away I've gotta fix my van and now bills are Pushing down my door Credit card operator hold the line I need more If we could stop the world Maybe you could be my girl Maybe I could give you some things That I promised you Oh if we could stop the world Maybe I could be your girl Oh if I could stop the world for you We fell into the old cliché We're working our whole lives away What my parents did I said I never would Can't live like this for good I spend a lifetime making money And going out my mind I don't wanna spend it all Just spend some time If we could stop the world Maybe you could be my girl Maybe I could give you some things That I promised you Oh if we could stop the world Maybe I could be your girl Oh if I could stop the world Oh if I could stop the world Oh if I could stop the world for you
