[Intro]
Stop! Na na na! You'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it

[Verse 1]
When we played tag in grade school, you wanted to be it
But chasing 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 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 someday, you'll 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 a danger zone

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Isaac said he kissed you beneath the apple tree
When Benji held your hand he felt electricity
When Alexander called you, he said he rang your chime
Christopher discovered, you're way ahead of your time

[Chorus]
Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or someday, you'll 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 a danger zone

[Bridge]
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!"

[Outro]
The love you save may be your own
Some day, you may be all alone
Stop it! (Save it, girl!) Baby! Ooh
You'd better stop! The love you save may be your own!
Please, please
Or someday, someday, 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 (Aaow!)
Stop! The love you save may be your own! (Baby)
You'd 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 to dirt
Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Don't 'cha know? Don't 'cha know?
Someday, baby, you'll be all alone
Wait a while
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed
