You'd better stop, look and listen
Before you cross over to the wrong side of the track
You’d better stop, look and listen
'Cause once you're on the other side, there ain’t no turning back

You'd better stop and think of all the love she gives you
You'd better look at how she's lookin' back at you
And you'd better listen, listen to her heartbeat
It's beatin' for you, fool

You’d better stop, look and listen
Before you cross over to the wrong side of the track
And you’d better stop, look and listen
'Cause once you’re on the other side, there ain't no turning back

See how she laughs at the dumb jokes you tell her
See how she says all the things you love to hear
Now is it worth it, the few bad times you had
To give up on her now, clown?

You'd better stop, look and listen
Before you cross over to the wrong side of the track
You'd better stop, look and listen
’Cause once you're on the other side, there ain't no turning back

You'd better stop, look and listen
Before you cross over to the wrong side of the track
You'd better stop, look
