Lyrics: |
Stop, na, na, na, you better save me Stop! Stop! Stop! You better save me When we played tag in grade school, you wanted to be it You chased those boys, you justified You crossed your heart, you quit When we grew up you traded Your promise for my ring Now just like back in grade school You're doin' the same old thing Stop, the love you save may be your own Darlin' take it slow or someday you'll be all alone You better stop, the love you save may be 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 Isaac said he kissed you underneath the apple tree When Benji held your hand you felt the electricity When Alexander called you, he said he rang your chimes Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time (chorus) Hold on, hold on, hold on hold on S is for save me T is for take it slow O is oh no P is for please, please don't go Stop, the love you save may be your own Someday you may be all alone Stop it, save me girl Baby you better stop, the love you save may be you own Darlin' take it slow or someday 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 Stop, the love you save may be your own, baby Stop it, stop it, stop it, girl You're heading for a danger zone |
