[Verse 1]

Try to heed the warning signs

It's a slippery slope

Got her neutrons out of line

She's an isotope

Fold 'em, she's gonna win

She's holdin' you ransom

Everything she says

Is breakin' you down some

[Refrain]

Hold on if you can

She's ready to blow

[Verse 2]

All the people all the time

Tired to tell you so

You're the victim, she's the crime

Guess you missed that boat

Now, she got you good

She's holdin' you in tight

You can't always win

By being the good guy

[Refrain]

Hold on if you can

She's ready to blow

[Bridge]

You can keep the flowers, you can keep the vase

I'll let you go, I'll let you go

You can keep the books, and you can keep the case

I'll let you go, I'll let you go

You can keep the car and you can keep the place

I'll let you go, I'll let you go

You can keep your whole life filling up with hate

I'll let you go, I'll let you

Yeah, oh

Yeah, oh

[Verse 3]

Try to heed the warning signs

It's a slippery slope

Carbon neutrons out of line

She's an isotope

Your unholy mess is waiting in my home

All this common sense, surrendered to my soul

[Refrain]

Hold on if you can

She's ready to blow

[Outro]

Don't do this, no promises

Don't do it, no promises

Do this, no promises

Don't do it

Don't do it
