The Love You Save Lyrics by Michael Jackson

The Love You Save

J5: stop! nanana! 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
E-lec-tri-ci-tee!
When alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes.
Christopher discovered
Youre way ahead of your times!

Repeat chorus

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: or some day youll be all alone.

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

Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed.

Michael: stop! the love you save may be your own...

Etc to fade
