The Love You Save - Michael Jackson and The Jackson Five

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: 
S is for "Save it" 
T is for "Take it slow" 
O is for "Oh, no" 
P is for "Please, please, don't go" 

Jermaine: The love you save may be your own
Michael: Some day you may be all alone
Jermaine: Stop it
Michael: Save it, girl
Jermaine: Baby, ooooh
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
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: Ahhhhh)

Michael: Stop, the love you save may be your own, baby
Jermaine: 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(*2) to dirt.
Stop, the love you save may be your own
Jermaine: Don’t cha know, don’t cha know. 
Some day baby you’ll be alll alone (wait a while)
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed.
Michael: Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darling (fades)
