Jackson 5 - Stop The Love You Save

Stop!
You better save it!
Stop stop stop!
You better save it!

When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be \"it\"
But chasing boys was justified
You crossed your heart;
You quit
When we grew up you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back in grade school
You're doing the same old thing

Stop!
The love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow
Or someday you'll be all alone
You better stop!
the love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone

I'm the one who loves ya!
I'm the one you need!
Those other guys will put you down
and soon they may succeed!
They'll ruin your reputation!
They'll label you a flirt!
The way they talk about you
Theyll turn your name to dirt!

Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Ben held your hand
He felt electricity
When Alexander called you
You said he rang the chime
But Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your time

Stop!
The love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow
Or someday you'll be all alone
You better stop!
the love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone

Hold on!
Hold on!
Hold on!
Hold on!
S is for \"Save it\"!
T is for \"Take it slow\"!
O is for \"Oh no\"!
P is for \"Please please dont go\"!

The love you save may be your own
Someday you may be all alone
Stop it!
Save it baby
You better stop!
The love you save may be your own
Please please
Or someday someday baby
Youll be headed for a danger zone

I'm the one who loves ya!
I'm the one you need!
Those other guys will put you down
and soon they may succeed!

Stop!
the love you save may be your own
You better stop it, stop it, stop it, girl!
Or someday you'll be all alone!
The way they talk about you
Theyll turn your name, turn your name
Stop!
the love you save may be your own
Dont you know, dont you know
Someday baby
Youll be headed for a danger zone
Those other will put you down
And soon they may succeed.
