The Jackson 5 The Love You Save lyrics

Stop! Na, na, na, you'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it

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

Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darlin', take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone
You'd better stop the love you save may be your own
Darlin', look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for the 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 times

Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darlin', take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone
You'd better stop the love you save may be your own

Darlin', look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone

Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

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
Some day you may be all alone
Stop it! Save it, girl!
Baby! Ooo
You better stop the love you save may be your own
Please, please or some day, some day 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'd 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't you know? Don't you know
Some day 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
