The Jackson 5 - The love you save

Stop, you better save me
Stop, stop, stop, you better save me dear, woo
Do do do do do ...

When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be it
When 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 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 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

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 Ritchie 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 some day 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 headed for a danger zone

Hold on, hold on, 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

Some day you may be all alone

Stop it baby, ooh, you'd better stop
The love you save may be your own, please, please
Oh stop you, stop you 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
Ooh, stop, the love you save may be your own
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

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Don't you know, you don't you know
Stop it baby or you'll be all alone
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
