The Love You Save - Live at the Forum, 1970 - The 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 Benji 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 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. (Ah!)

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, he love you save may be your own!

Don't you know don't you know.

Some day baby you'll be all alone. (Wait a while)
