[Verse 1]
The shedding of tears should wet your cheek
Not soak you through and through
And cakes are things you put away
When you've had one or two
Too much of anything can only do you harm
So may I give you this advice straight from the palm
[Chorus]
You gotta know when to stop, you know
Put on the brakes and take it slow
It’s worth us repeating again
You gotta know when
[Verse 2]
A merry-go-round is fun to ride
But not for very long
You have to curb your appetite
At times you must be strong
A little less is better than a little more
A camel's back went crack one day all for a straw
[Chorus]
You gotta know when to stop, you know
Put on the brakes and take it slow
It's worth us repeating again
You gotta know when
[Verse 3]
We all like to laugh and joke about
And play those silly games
Where ev’ryone pokes out their tongues
And calls each other names
But keep on making faces and you'd best beware
For in the morning you might find that they're still there
[Outro]
You gotta know when to stop, you know
Put on the brakes and take it slow
It's worth us repeating again, -
You gotta know when
