The love you save (1970)

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 
E-lec-tri-ci-tee! 
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.
