The Love You Save (Live At the Forum, 1972) - Jackson 5

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 chasing 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 to grade school

You're doing the same old thing

Stop! The love you save may be your own

Darling, take it slow

Or some day you'll be all alone

You'd better stop the love you save may be your own

Darling, 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

Darling, take it slow

Or some day you'll be all alone

You'd better stop the love you save may be your own

Darling, 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, ooh

You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own

Please, please

Or some day, some day baby

You'll be all alone

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

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 cha know don't cha 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

Darling
