We played tag in grade school,
You wanted to be it
But 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 doing the same old thing

You'd better stop,
The love you save maybe your own
Darlin' take it slowly,
Or some day you'll be all alone
You better stop,
The love you save maybe your own,
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me,
You're heading 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 Benji held your hand he felt electricity
When Alexander called you he said he rang your chimes,
Christopher discovered you're away ahead of your time

You'd better stop,
The love you save maybe your own
Darlin' take it slow,
Or some day you'll be all alone
You better stop,
The love you save maybe 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
"S" is for save it,
"T" is for take it slow,
"O" is for oh, no,
"P" is for please, please don't go

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

You'd better stop stop stop,
You'd better stop stop stop!
