How Can I Stop
The Rolling Stones · The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]
You offer me
All your love and sympathy
Sweet affection baby
It's killing me
'Cause baby baby
Can't you see
How could I stop
Once I start baby
How could I stop once I start
How could I stop
Yeah yeah
How could I stop once I start
You look at me
But I don't know what you see
A reflection baby
Of what I want to be
I see your face
And I want to roll with it
But how could I stop
Baby how could I stop
How could I stop
Stop it, stop it
If I could, I'd take you all the way
Baby, baby listen what I say
There's even some things
That I just would not pay
'Cause how could I stop
If I start babe
How could I stop
If I start
Start with you
How could I stop
If I start, baby
How could I stop
If I start with you
It's too easy to lay here at your feet
I couldn't take the heat
There's somewhere else
Maybe you should go
Baby maybe baby just a further down the road
How could I stop
If I start with you baby
How could I stop
How could I stop
Once I start
You tell me baby
Once I've started with you
How could I stop
Once I start
Stop, stop, stop
About How Can I Stop
"How Can I Stop" by The Rolling Stones stands as a quintessential example of the band's mid-1960s rock and roll energy, characterized by its driving rhythm and Mick Jagger's iconic vocal delivery. Originally recorded for their 1964 album *The Rolling Stones*, the track exemplifies the group's transition from blues-influenced covers to original compositions that defined the British Invasion. The song's structure, featuring a prominent guitar riff and a call-and-response chorus, became a staple of their live performances and cemented their status as a leading force in popular music during that era. Released decades later on the comprehensive *The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]*, the recording highlights the band's enduring ability to deliver high-energy rock anthems. As part of their extensive catalogue, "How Can I Stop" remains a significant piece of their discography, reflecting the raw power and charisma that made them legendary. Its inclusion in such a definitive collection underscores its importance to the band's legacy and its place in the broader history of rock music.
