Am                           G          F        G

Stop!  In the name of love!  Before you break my heart.

Think it over.

C                 Em                  Gm            A

Baby, baby, I'm aware of where you go each time you leave my door.

F                G                F                  G

I watch you walk down the street, knowing your other love you'll meet.

C                        G           F

But this time before you run to her, leaving me alone and hurt.

         C                      F       C

Think it over - after I've been good to you.

Think it over - after I've been sweet to you.

Am                           G          F        G

Stop!  In the name of love!  Before you break my heart. [2x]

         C   F  C  F        C  F  C  F

Think it over---!  Think it over!

 

I've known of your, your secluded nights.

I've even seen her maybe once or twice.

But is her sweet expression worth more than my love and affection?

But this time before you leave my arms and rush off to her charms;

Think it over, haven't I been good to you?

Think it over, haven't I been sweet to you?

 

CHORUS:

 

I've tried so hard, hard to be patient,

Hoping you'd stop this infatuation.

But each time you are together,

I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever.

 

CHORUS: [2x]
