Dont Ask Me to Stop by The Pine Box Boys Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can cry; no one to hear but I
You can wail; anything is worth a try
You can curse; and blame it all on me
But which is worse - this? - or your own misery?

[Chorus]
Don't ask me to stop
I've made up my mind
Or, rather, I've lost it again
Don't ask me to stop
It's too late for that
Once I begin

[Verse 2]
You'll be fine; everything's running on time
This moment is yours, but soon the moment is mine
Why do you care? You say the earth is wicked and vile
Never a prayer, and never a moment to smile

[Chorus]
Don't ask me to stop
I've made up my mind
Or, rather, I've lost it again
Don't ask me to stop
It's too late for that
Once I begin
[Verse 3]
She said I was wrong; she said hell won't be waiting for long
She said I was the devil and wicked for writing this song
Then she swore and laid upon me a curse:
That I'd regret if ever I finished this verse

[Chorus]
Don't ask me to stop
I've made up my mind
Or, rather, I've lost it again
Don't ask me to stop
It's too late for that
Once I begin
