US #1, UK #1 for Starship in 1987
Albert Hammond (writer, recording artist): We were sent a script of a movie called Mannequin, where the couple gets married in the end, and they need a song for that. And I, who had lived with Claudia for seven years or whatever, had finally gotten divorced from my other marriage and was thinking of writing a song that... not for anybody to record, but just for me to sing and make a demo for our wedding. And we combined the two together, you know. What we thought of... what I said to Diane was "it's almost like they've stopped me from marrying this woman for seven years, and they haven't succeeded. They're not gonna stop me doing it". That's when suddenly Nothing's gonna stop us now came up. We had no idea Starship was gonna do it either, by the way. There were many artists that were mentioned, and it ended up being Starship. (1992 interview on BBC Radio programs. Thank you to Peter)
Looking in your eyes
I see a paradise
This world that I've found
Is too good to be true
Standing here beside you
Want so much to give you
This love in my heart
That I'm feeling for you
Let them say we're crazy
I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand, baby
Don't ever look back
Let the world around us
Just fall apart
Baby, we can make it
If we're heart to heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, no
Nothing's gonna stop us now
I'm so glad I found you,
I'm not going to lose you
Whatever it takes
I will stay here with you
Take you to the good times
See you through the bad times
Whatever it takes
That's what I'm gonna do
Let them say we're crazy
What do they know
Put your arms around me, baby
Don't ever let go
Let the world around us
Just fall apart
Baby, we can make it
If we're heart to heart
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us
All that I need is you
You're all I ever need
All that I want to do
Is hold you forever
And ever and ever
And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us nowAnd we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Build this dream together nowNothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us now
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no
Nothing's gonna stop us...
