Lyrics:
All that I have is all that you've given me
Did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
Now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
(I've seen you across the street)
And I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
Oh you talk of love but you don't know how it feels
When you realise that you're not the only one

Oh you'd better stop (stop) before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop (stop) before you go and break my heart
Ooh you'd better stop

Time after time I've tried to walk away, (I've tried to walk away)
But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
So I just resign myself to it every day (every day)
Now all I can do is to leave it up to you oh

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you go and break my heart
Ooh you'd better stop

Stop if love me
(you will remember)
Now's the time to be sorry
(that day forever)
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me baby yeah ooh

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop before you go and break my heart
Ooh you'd better stop
You'd better stop
You'd better stop
You'd better stop
You'd better stop

You'd better stop
You'd better stop
You'd better stop
You'd better stop....


Sam Brown (born Samantha Brown, 7 October 1964, Stratford, London, England), is the daughter of the rock and roll star, Joe Brown and singer Vicki Brown. She is an English female singer-songwriter best known for her work in the late 1980s, although she has continued to release material since then.

Brown is known for her expressive vocal style, and the ability to transcend musical styles easily. Her best-known song was "Stop!", released in 1988; she released an album by the same name that year. Other singles taken from this album included "Walking Back To Me" and "This Feeling". The album Stop! sold over two million copies worldwide, doing particularly well in the UK and Australia. In 1990, Sam released her second album April Moon, containing two hit singles, "With A Little Love" and "Kissing Gate" and showed progression in both musical style and songwriting. Three further singles were lifted from the album; "Mindworks", "Once in Your Life" and "As One".

Brown has been quoted as saying during the time since this initial success, that she came to realise that she has no interest in being a "star", and prefers instead to create music that holds meaning for both her and her audience. This substance over style approach, although hinted at in her first two albums, is much more evident in her output since this time. Brown was not willing to compromise, or be pushed around by executives at record companies, as the next chapter in her career would prove without doubt.

Brown's third album, 43 Minutes, is a dark, obviously deeply personal and emotional work which was written and recorded around the time that her mother was dying from cancer. This record is not instantly accessible, but with repeated listening reveals great maturity and depth of interpretation of the dark subject matter. Song titles such as "Fear of Life", "Letting Go" and "Into The Night" give a clue to the direction of the album. A&M, Brown's record label at the time were not happy with the album and wanted some potential hit singles recorded and added to the tracklist. Brown however was not willing to compromise and after a protracted battle, she bought back the masters of the album and released it on her own label Pod Music. Very few copies were produced, making it instantly collectible (and almost impossible to find), although it was reissued in 2004 (again via Pod Music).

In 1995, Sam had a minor chart hit in a duet with Fish, entitled "Just Good Friends".

In 1997, she returned again with Box, released via the independent music label Demon Records, and showing further growth as both a musician and songwriter. Tracks on this album include "Embrace The Darkness", "Whisper" and "I Forgive You" which was co-written with Maria McKee. McKee's version of the song appeared on her album, You Gotta Sin to Get Saved.

2000 saw the release of ReBoot and a return to more accessible lyrics, coupled with strong musical compositions and a strong musical direction. This album was released via another independent label Mud Hut Records, and a single "In Light Of All That's Gone Before" was also issued. Standout tracks on this album include the lead single, "Understand The Animal", "Breathe In Life", "Blood Run Cold" and "Rainbow".

As well as her solo career, she has had a successful career as a backing singer and collaborating with other artists. She has worked with David Gilmour and Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, George Harrison, Nick Cave and many others; and often appears as a member of Jools Holland's band.
