[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-ty
[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
Chorus
[E5]

Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

The love you save may be your own

Or someday baby, you'll be all alone
[E5]
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed
