Stop, Look & Listen to My Heart

[[Intro – Horns and handclaps] (Clara Jean): Hey, boy—yeah you! Stop, look, and listen… to my heart! (Darlene & Lottie): Ooooh, listen! [Verse 1] You keep runnin’ all around the town, Thinkin’ love’s just another game. But every time you pass me by, My heart keeps callin’ your name! I ain’t askin’ for no diamonds, Ain’t lookin’ for no fancy car— Just stop a minute, baby, And hear what’s beatin’ in my heart! [Chorus – Call & Response] (Lead: Clara Jean) Stop! (Backups) Stop! (Lead) Look! (Backups) Look! (Lead) Listen to my heart— (Backups) My heart, my heart! (Lead) You keep talkin’, walkin’ fast, But love like mine won’t always last! (All) Stop, look, and listen to my heart! [Verse 2] Every time you smile that smile, You set my soul on fire. I try to play it cool, but baby, You got what I desire! You keep dancin’ with temptation, But I’m the real thing, can’t you see? You don’t need no map, my love’s right here— Right where it oughta be! [Chorus – Full Harmony] Stop! (Stop!) Look! (Look!) Listen to my heart (My heart!) You’re runnin’ round, boy, day and night, But love like this, you gotta treat right! Stop, look, and listen to my heart! [Bridge – Spoken over groove] (Clara Jean): Hey, boy—don’t you know what’s real? You keep chasin’ dreams, but I’m the deal! (Darlene & Lottie): Ooooh, listen to her heart, yeah! [Breakdown – Horn hits and tambourine] (Call & Response) Stop! (Stop!) Look! (Look!) Listen! (Listen!) (All) To my heart! (Clara Jean ad lib): You better listen, baby, ‘Cause it’s beatin’ just for you! [Final Chorus – Key change, full band] Stop! Look! Listen to my heart! Boy, don’t tear this love apart! You been blind, but now you’ll see, My heart’s callin’ out — come back to me! Stop, look, and listen to my heart! [Outro – Fade] (Group ad libs over groove) “Stop… look… listen…” “Ooooh, my heart, my heart…” “Listen to my heart!”
