The Love You Save - The Jackson 5 (1970)

Stop! Nanana! 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
The 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
E-lec-tri-ci-tee!
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 the 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!
Babe ohh

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
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!

You baby

You baby stop, stop, stop it girl

Or some day 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 cha know, don't cha know

Stop you 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...
