The Love You Save
Jackson 5 · X4 Jackson 5 [2010]
Stop, you better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you better save it, woo
Do do do do do ...
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 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 heading 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 Benjii 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..
"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, ooh
You'd better stop
The love you save may be your own
Please, please or some day, some day baby
You'll be heading for a danger zone
(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 oh 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
Stop, the love you save may be your own
Don't you know, don't you know
Some day baby you'll be heading for a danger zone
(All alone)
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
(Fade Out)
Stop, stop, stop, you better save it, woo
Do do do do do ...
