"S" is for save me

"T" is for take it slow

"O" is for oh, no

"P" is for please, please don't go



When we played tag in grade school

You wanted to be it

When 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 doin' the same old thing



Stop, the love you save may be your own

Darlin' take it slow

Or some day 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 headed for a danger zone



I'm the one who loves you

I'm the one you need

Those other guys will get you down

As soon as they succeed



Isaac said he kissed you, beneath the apple tree

When Ritchie held your hand he felt electricity



Stop the love you save may be your own, please, please

Oh stop you, stop you baby you'll be all alone

Oh stop you, stop you baby you'll be all alone
