Sayer, Leo - I Can't Stop Lyrics






Somebody get a fireman
Somebody come and hose me down
I think I'm going crazy
She got me dancing' like a clown
The D.J. plays desire
(Catch a fire)
Wanna take you higher
(Liar liar)
This gun's for hire
She's gonna burn my playhouse down
She said her name was Venus
I think she came out of the Nile
But all my friends who've seen her
Say she's not my style
The TV's showing "Dallas"
(Shrinking Alice)
Down the streets of Paris
(Elysee Palace)
I lost my ballast
She turned me upside down
Y'know I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop must be love must be love
I can't stop I can't stop
I can't stop I can't get enough can't get enough
I can't stop I can't stop
I squeeze her in a taxi
With legs up to my ears
She smiles and then she smacks me
I think she's getting pretty weird
And then she took me swimming
(I was grinning)
In the beginning
(My head was spinning)
I said you gotta be kidding
She went and stole my heart away
Now I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop
Gotta be love I can't get enough
I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop
Gotta be love gotta be love
I can't stop
I can't stop
I can't stop
She's burning with desire
(I'm catching fire)
I can't get no higher
(On the wire)
Call me a liar
(But I'm a trier)
Yes I'm a liar
(And getting shyer)
But I think I'm gonna retire
If I survive tonight
Y'know I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop
Can't get enough of this funky stuff
I can't stop I can't stop I can't stop
Must be love gotta be love
I can't stop I can't stop
Must be love

    I first thought Taylor covered Phil, then found out that it was Phil covering Leo lol
    Either way I'm entertained by all of thier performance. I can feel the pain in Leo's voice, Phil did it at a fast pace which gave it another angle & Taylor is so elegant in slow paced songs that she nails it.

    When music was music ,,,, not like all the verbal diarrhoea today

  5. T.... Y....

    Without Uncle saying anything ... art we seeing why Uncle loveth his Leo Sayer .... ? Art we seeing it ... ? NO, UNCLE WISHETH NOT TO BE QUESTIONED ABOUT HIS DEEP FEELINGS FOR LEO SAYER'S ARTISTIC AND EMOTIONAL-NOTIONAL CREATIVITY ... UNCLE CANST NOT ENTERTAIN THAT KIND OF SILLINESS ... ESPECIALLY WHILST SITTING BESIDE HIS BEAUTIFUL-BUT-STRONG-BUT-INTELLIGENT ISAAC HAYES !!! UNCLE JUST CANST NOT !!!

  18. S.... P....

  34. A.... L....

    You think we were living in a high rise when all I wanted were clean windows.

  35. J.... M....

    Still going strong at 70 put the young ones to shame.

  36. P.... P....

    Better than Phil's version.

  37. p.... c....

    Leo's original is so much more emotional, you can feel the pain of her leaving....

    p.... c....

    I agree, you can hear the longing in his voice.

    p.... c....

    Dear Philippe ... stop making us weep ... (rhyme) ... !!!

    +lesclaypool0727 In my opinion Leo's version is better.

  44. b.... m....

    No one does it like Leo Sayer. Brings back memories.

  45. S.... S....

    Leo sayer at best! Brings back memories! With Good old sony stereo!

  46. A.... D....

    The Outlaws did a superb version of this song on their 1980 album 'Ghost Riders'. Better than Phil Collins, IMHO, different from Leo Sayer. Worth a listen

  47. F.... P....

    Why isn't this song, better known? Most people know Phil Collin's version, but this version is growing on me. It's beautiful! But I guess Leo Sayer himself isn't that well known, so that may be a reason.

    F.... P....

    It was in the 70s.

    F.... P....

    @jeffrey macqueen I'm sorry to break it to you, Jeff. But compared to Phil Collins, he is not all that very well known. Unfortunately so, for I find his music generally speaking much better than what Phil's produced.

    F.... P....

    Leo Sayer not well known? he was an Icon of the 70's music scene

    F.... P....

    Filipe Pereira Funny thing is I have only known Leo Sayer and have never heard any other musician sing this. I love this and am not ready to listen to any other musician sing this song other than Leo’s. 😊

    F.... P....

    Leo Sayer had a handful of huge hits in the '70s, like When I Need You and You Make Me Feel Like Dancing. He may not have had as many hugely successful songs as Collins or Swift, but he had a good run. Some songs just kind of get lost to time, like this one. I have to admit that I didn't even know of the song until Collins' version.

  48. h.... ....

    Such beautiful and powerful song, ......Beautiful sound of the  70s.......How songs and times have changed !!!!

    h.... ....

    So true!!!

    h.... ....
