Stop, you better save me
Stop, stop, stop, you better save me dear, woo
Do do do do do ...

When we played tag in grade school

You wanted to be it
When chasin' boys was just a fad,
You crossed your heart, you'd quit
When we grew up you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back in grade school
You're doin' the same old thing

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone
You better stop
The love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone

I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down
as soon as they succeed
They'll ruin your reputation
They'll label you a flirt
The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh.

Isaac said he kissed you, beneath the apple tree
When Ritchie held your hand he felt electricity
When Alexander called you, he said he rang your chimes
Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow or some day you'll be all alone
You better stop
The love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on..

Hold on
"S" is for save it
"T" is for take it slow
"O" is for oh, no
"P" is for please, please don't go

The love you save may be your own
Some day you may be all alone
Stop it baby, ooh, you'd better stop
The love you save may be your own, please, please
Oh stop you, stop you baby you'll be all alone

I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed

Ooh, stop, the love you save may be your own
You better stop it,
Stop it, stop it, girl or someday you'll be all alone

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name, turn your name
Stop, the love you save may be your own
Don't you know, you don't you know
Stop it baby or you'll be all alone

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
(Fade Out)
