Stop, before it's too late
You must listen to what I'm saying
You're going to a party
Going out with a friend or two
You don't care if you get home late
Who cares, there's nothing else to do

Then along comes a guy with the shining eyes
He says "try this honey, don't be shy"
I say stop, don't start
He's trying to get a hook on you
Don't ever try, the stuff ain't good for you
Don't ever try, don't let him get to you
You're going on vacation
Sunny beach and sky of blue
You're hoping you will meet someone
Who shares the same point of view
Along comes a real nice friendly guy
He says "take some of this and you'll get real high"
Stop, don't start
He's trying to get the hook on you
Don't ever try, the stuff ain't good for you
Don't ever try, don't let him get you too
Don't think I'm exagerating
Or barking up the wall
The harm it does is never ending
Before it gets to you there's just one thing to do
All you have to do is stop
