Hard bodies, soft emotions, so fast so smart
The world's at your feet but what about your heart?
Fame and power can't hold you tight
In the late hours of the night

How do you stop, tell me, before it's too late?
You choose and you lose if you hesitate
How do you stop before it's too late?
You think love will wait so you don't hold on
And then it's gone - aha - then it's gone

You've had such success - a new group of friends
You called it the good life
You thought it would never, never end
One minute you're too young, and then you're prime
Then you're looking back at the hands of time

How do you stop, tell me, before it's too late?
You choose and you lose if you hesitate
Tell me, how do you stop before it's too late?
Ooh ooh, you don't hold on
