If you're falling out of love
You'd better pray to the stars above
To light your way and help you make the right choice
Have more than a second thought,
All the cigarettes you'll smoke
They'll probably stain your fingers
And sure you'll go bankrupt
From sudden shopping fits,
From buying a million drinks,
You'll be a such sad sight getting trashed on each and every night,
Always with a new fling by your side,
But still never quite happy
If you're falling out of love
You'd better pray to the stars above
To light your way and help you make the right choice
You used to say he was like downtown,
All thrills and fun first time around
Now you compare him to some lousy, sleepy suburb
You'd rather never go
He is not "happening" anymore
But look into his eyes and you'll see love
In any case, it's not enough
How many times had you been looked at like that?
You used to say he was kind of an eighth wonder of the world,
Now he is like a roach you're about to crush,
Something to throw in the trash,
Still, your friends are in shock and say:
"Stop and think it over,
Stop and think it over,
Stop and think it over,
Dont throw it all away!"
So if you're falling out of love
You'd better pray to the stars above
To light your way and help you make the right choice
Every day you fall apart
A little bit more, you break his heart and
It feels there's nothing you can do to stop
Your ship from sinking
But remember that the captain is the last who's supposed to jump!
Don't be the first because you'll cry,
Pretty sure you'll wanna die
When you'll recall how hopeless and how pretty he seemed
That dreadful last night, dumbstruck on his knees,
Uttering those words:
Stop and think it over
Stop and think it over
Stop and think it over
Don't throw it all away
Stop and think it over
Stop and think it over
Stop and think it over
Don't throw it all away
Stop and think it over
Stop and think it over
Stop and think it over
Don't throw it all away
Oh think it over, stop and think it over
Stop and think it over one more time
Stop and think it over, stop and think it over,
Stop and think it over one more time, please
You throw it all away
