i can't walk the streets now
to [compilate my mind?]
some pretty mama she starts breakin' down
stop breakin' down
whoo
stop breakin' down
the stuff i got's gonna bust your brains out
it'll make you lose your mind
you saturday night women
you love to
ape and clown
you won't do nothin' but tear a good man's
reputation down
stop breakin' down
whoo
stop breakin' down
the stuff i got's gonna bust your brains out
it'll make you lose your mind
oh yeah baby
i gave my baby
the 99th degree
she jumped up and throwed a pistol
down on me
stop breakin' down
yeah, stop breakin' down
the stuff i got's gonna bust your brains out
it'll make you lose your mind
[Robert Johnson's version]
Everytime I'm walkin' down the streets
Some pretty mama start breakin' down with me
Stop breakin' down, yes, stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby,
Hoo-ooo, it'll make you lose your mind.
I can't walk the streets now, con, consolate my mind
Some no good woman she starts breakin' down
Stop breakin' down, please, stop breakin' down
The stuff I got it don't bust your brains out,
Hoo-ooo, it'll make you lose your mind.
Now, you saturday night womens, you love to ape and clown,
You won't do nothin' but tear a good man reputation down
Stop breakin' down, please, stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby,
Hoo-ooo, it'll make you lose your mind.
Now, I give my baby, now, the ninety-nine degree
She jumped up and throwed a pistol down on me
Stop breakin' down, please, stop breakin' down
Stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby,
Hoo-hoo, it'll make you lose your mind.
I can't start walkin' down the streets
But some pretty mama don't start breakin' down with me
Stop breakin' down, yes, stop breakin' down
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby,
Hoo-ooo, it'll make you lose your mind.

Jack White:
"With Stop Breaking Down. You know, I'd heard 'Exile on Main Street'
before but didn't own it and so had actually never heard the Rolling
Stones version of Stop (laughs) until after our LP came out."
Jack White:
"The reason we originally recorded [Stop Breaking Down] was because we
were going to put it on the B-side of a single with The Big Three Killed
My Baby, make it a whole anti-automotive 45. Then when we recorded it, it
came out so good we figured we'd better put it on the album." |
