The Jackson 5 - Stop! The Love You Save lyrics

Stop! 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 that same old thing Stop! The love you save may be your own Darling, take it slow or some day you'll be all alone 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 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 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 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!
