Stop, before it's too late

You must listen to what I'm saying 

You're going to a party 

Going out with a friend or two

You don't care if you get home late 

Who cares, there's nothing else to do



Then along comes a guy with the shining eyes 

He says "try this honey, don't be shy"

I say stop, don't start

He's trying to get a hook on you 

Don't ever try, the stuff ain't good for you

Don't ever try, don't let him get to you 

You're going on vacation 

Sunny beach and sky of blue

You're hoping you will meet someone

Who shares the same point of view 

Along comes a real nice friendly guy 

He says "take some of this and you'll get real high"

Stop, don't start

He's trying to get the hook on you

Don't ever try, the stuff ain't good for you 

Don't ever try, don't let him get you too 

Don't think I'm exagerating 

Or barking up the wall

The harm it does is never ending 

Before it gets to you there's just one thing to do

All you have to do is stop
