The Love You Save Lyrics

Stop, you better save me

Stop, stop, stop, you better save me dear, woo

Do do do do do ...

When we played tag in grade school

You wanted to be it

When chasin' 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 in grade school

You're doin' the same old thing

Stop, the love you save may be your own

Darlin' take it slow

Or some day 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 you

I'm the one you need

Those other guys will put you down

as soon as they succeed

They'll ruin your reputation

They'll label you a flirt

The way they talk about you

They'll turn your name to dirt, oh.

Isaac said he kissed you, beneath the apple tree

When Ritchie held your hand he felt electricity

When Alexander called you, he said he rang your chimes

Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time

Stop, the love you save may be your own

Darlin' take it slow or some day 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..

Hold on 

"S" is for save it

"T" is for take it slow

"O" is for oh, no

"P" is for please, please don't go

The love you save may be your own

Some day you may be all alone

Stop it baby, ooh, you'd better stop

The love you save may be your own, please, please

Oh stop you, stop you baby you'll be all alone

I'm the one who loves you

I'm the one you need

Those other guys will put you down

As soon as they succeed

Ooh, 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

They'll turn your name, turn your name

Stop, the love you save may be your own

Don't you know, you don't you know

Stop it baby or you'll be all alone

Those other guys will put you down

As soon as they succeed

(Fade Out)
