E5
Stop! nanana! youd better save it!
Stop, stop, stop, youd better save it!


G C  Am D  Bm Em   C C/B  Am G


     G                C
When we played tag in grade school
    Am           D
You wanted to be it
    Bm               Em
But chasing boys was just a fad
    C            C/B  Am       G
You crossed your heart and you quit.

     G              C       
When we grew up you traded
     Am            D
Your promise for a ring
    Bm                Em
Now just like back to grade school
       C         C/B Am     G
You're doing the same   old thing!

Chorus:
G                  C                Am
Stop! the love you save may be your own
D                 Bm
 Darling, take it slow
   Em                C  C/B     Am G
Or some day youll be all alone.
             G                 C                Am
You'd better stop the love you save may be your own!
D                   Bm              Em
 Darling, look both ways before you cross me
       C      C/B     Am     G
You're headed for the danger zone.

E5
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!

G             C
Isaac said he kissed you
  Am              D
Beneath the apple tree
     Bm              Em
When Benji held your hand he felt
C     C/B Am G
E-lec-tri-ci-tee!
     G         C
When Alexander called you
   Am                D
He said he rang your chimes.
Bm            Em
Christopher discovered
       C    C/B        Am G
You're way ahead of your  time

Bm         Em       C C/B  Am G
