So easy to cross off love as a dangerous waste of time,
Throw out your list of long shot chances, hang out the no vacancy sign,
There's so many just like me who'd wander this world alone,
Answerin' to no one, needing someone, making it on their own,
Then you see her and you want her,
And you wonder just how you ever lived without her,
And to be with her you would throw it all away.
Run through the streets in the pouring rain,
Stand in the path of a runaway train,
Walk over hot coals feeling no pain,
'Cause you can't stop love,
Love is a river that can't be controlled,
Can't put up a dam on your heart and your soul,
Forget all the heartaches just let 'em all go,
Well it's not that tough,
'Cause you can't stop love.
Not easy to lose someone who's been such a part of you,
You set up the roadblocks take no chances, blinding love from your view,
You know you're lying to yourself if you think you don't need someone,
To fill up the spaces, empty places, you'd rather just turn and run,
Then you see her and you want her,
And you wonder just how you ever lived without her,
And to be with her you would throw it all away.
Run through the streets in the pouring rain,
Stand in the path of a runaway train,
Walk over hot coals feeling no pain,
'Cause you can't stop love,
Love is a river that can't be controlled,
Can't put up a dam on your heart and your soul,
Forget all the heartaches just let 'em all go,
Well it's not that tough,
'Cause you can't stop love.
Love is a fire ever burnin', it's a wheel that keeps on turnin',
It's an echo yearnin', coming back to you.
Run through the streets in the pouring rain,
Stand in the path of a runaway train,
Walk over hot coals feeling no pain,
'Cause you can't stop love,
Love is a river that can't be controlled,
Can't put up a dam on your heart and your soul,
Forget all the heartaches just let 'em all go,
Well it's not that tough,
'Cause you can't stop love.
Can't stop just can't stop it, can't stop just can't stop it,
Can't stop just can't stop it, you can't stop love,
Can't stop just can't stop it, can't stop just can't stop it,
Can't stop just can't stop it, you know you can't stop love.
