Stop And Erase
Selena Gomez · Kiss and Tell
You put me down, it build you up
You're kicking me around
You just can't get enough
And all your friend surround you
Without them by your side
You start to show your weakness
It's something you can't hide, yeah yeah!
(Chorus:)
Well, stop and erase
'Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
Laugh while you can
Yeah, live it up and read my lips
The joke is on you
I figured it out
You're all about walking tall on the people you knock down
Well, stop and erase
'Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
I'm waking up, I'm feeling
What I was scared to feel before
I got my eyes wide open
Won't take it anymore
All the lies and teasin'
Yes, I could never be that cool
You had them all believin'
But now that's through, yeah yeah!
(Chorus:)
Well, stop and erase
'Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
Laugh while you can
Yeah, live it up and read my lips
The joke is on you
I figured it out
You're all about walking tall on the people you knock down
Well, stop and erase
'Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
Count down, the tables you turned
Better wise up, you got alot to learn
'Cause you are alone now
(Chorus:)
Well, stop and erase
'Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
Laugh while you can
Yeah, live it up and read my lips
The joke is on you
I figured it out
You're all about walking tall on the people you knock down
Well, stop and erase
'Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
(Chorus:)
Well, stop and erase
'Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
Laugh while you can
Yeah, live it up and read my lips
The joke is on you
I figured it out
You're all about walking tall on the people you knock down
Well, stop and erase
'Cause I'm gonna wipe that smile
Off your know it all face
Stop And Erase
Selena Gomez's 'Stop And Erase' serves as a pivotal track on her 2014 album 'Kiss and Tell,' marking a significant shift in her musical direction toward a more mature, R&B-inflected pop sound. Released during a period where Gomez sought to distance herself from her previous teen-pop image, the song features a moody production style and introspective lyrics that explore themes of regret and the desire to undo past mistakes. As a centerpiece of the album, it showcases her vocal versatility and willingness to experiment with darker tones and slower tempos, reflecting the emotional complexity of her personal life at the time. The recording stands as a testament to her evolution as an artist, bridging the gap between her earlier pop hits and her subsequent work in the adult contemporary genre.
