The Love You Save
J5:Stop, na, na, na, you'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it
Michael: 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
(CHORUS:)
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.
Michael: I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Jermaine: Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
Michael: They'll ruin your reputation
They'll label you a flirt
Jermaine: The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh
Second verse:
Michael: 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
(CHORUS:)
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.
(BRIDGE:)
J5: Slow down, slow down
Slow down, slow down.

Michael: You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own
Michael: You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own
Jermaine: Please, please
Or some day, some day baby,
You'll be all alone

I'm the one you need

Some day baby you’ll be alll alone (wait a while)
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed.

Darling (fades)
