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
