If our affair is going to fold,
ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing,
Your act of love is getting
bold, ya better stop, ya better stop.
The pace is more than I can
take, ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing,
Apply the pressure to the brake,
ya better stop, ya better stop.
I've a notion you've gone too
far, stop a'wishing my submission,
Just turn the key and kill your
ignition.
Unless the show is going on, ya
better stop, ya better stop.rehearsing.
Before my self-control is gone,
ya better stop, ya better stop right now.
If our romance is gonna flop, ya
better stop, ya better stop rehearsing
I'm just about to blow my top,
ya better stop, ya better stop.
Unless you plan to do the show,
ya better stop, ya better stop rehearshing.
Why don't ya tell me yes or no,
ya better stop, ya better stop.
I'm no novice at this making love,
in a sly way, try it my way,
Why don't you get the show on
the highway.
Unless the curtains gonna rise,
ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing,
Without the teasing with your
eyes, ya better stop, ya better stop right now,
Until ya say that you'll become
my wife, and the cast of two is gonna run for life,
Ya better stop, ya better stop
breaking my heart.
