The Love You Save
Composer(s): Corporation
Performer(s): The Jackson 5



Stop you'd better save me!
Stop, stop, stop you'd better save me!

When we played tag in grade school, you wanted to be it
But chasin' boys was just a fad, you crossed your heart you'd quit
When we grew up you traded your promise for my ring
Now just like back in grade school, you're doing that same old thing!

Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darlin' take it slow, or someday you'll be all alone
Better stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headin' for a danger zone!

I'm the one who loves you, I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed!
They'll ruin your reputation, they'll label you a flirt!
The way they talk about you, they'll turn your name to dirt, oh!

Isaac said he kissed you beneath the apple tree
When Benjie held your hand he felt electricity
When Alexander called you he said he rang your chimes
Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time!

Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darlin' take it slow or someday you'll be all alone
You better stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headin' for a danger zone!

Hold on, hold on, hold on!
"S" is for "Save It!"
"T" is for "Take It Slow!"
"O" is for "Oh no!"
"P" is for "Please, please don't go!"

The love you save may be your own
Someday you may be all alone
Stop it, baby, ooh, you'd better stop! the love you save may be your own!
Please, please, cause someday, someday, baby, you'll be all alone!

I'm the one who loves you, I'm the one you need!
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed!

Oh stop! the love you save may be your own, baby!
You better stop it, stop it, stop it, girl, or someday you'll be all alone!
The way they talk about you, they'll turn your name, turn your name to dirt!

Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Don'tcha know, don'tcha know, someday, baby, you'll be all alone?

Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed!

Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darlin' take it slow...
