The Love You Save

Stop (na-na-na), you'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it (woo)

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

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday 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

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 Benji held your hand, he felt electricity
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chime
Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday 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

Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down

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 (save it, girl), baby, ooh
You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own
Please, please, or someday, someday, 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 (aow)
Stop, the love you save may be your own (oh, baby)
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, turn your name to dirt
Stop, the love you save may be your own
Don't 'cha know? Don't 'cha know?
Someday, baby, you'll be all alone (wait a while)

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