Standard (EADGBE)

Stop! nanana! you'd better save it

Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it

When we played tag in grade school

You wanted to be it

But chasing boys was just a fad

You crossed your heart and you quit

When we grew up you traded

Your promise for a ring

Now just like back to grade school

You're doing the same old thing

Chorus

Stop! the love you save may be your own

Darling, take it slow

Or some day youll be all alone.

You'd better stop the love you save may be your own

Darling, look both ways before you cross me

You're headed for the 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 Benji held your hand he felt

-lec-tri-ci-ty

When Alexander called you

He said he rang your chimes

Christopher discovered

You're way ahead of your time

Chorus

slow down

Slow down

Slow down

Slow down

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

You'd better Stop! the love you save may be your own

Please, please

Or some day, some day 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

Chorus
