The Love You Save

Stop, you better save me

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

When we played tag in grade school

You wanted to be it

But 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 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

Better stop, the love you save may be your own

Darlin' look both ways before you cross me

You're heading 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 Benjie held your hand

He felt electricity

When Alexander called you

He said he rang your chimes

Christopher discovered

You're way ahead your time

Stop, the love you save may be your own

Darlin' take it slow or someday you'll be all alone

Better stop, the love you save may be your own

Darlin' look both ways before you cross me

You're heading 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 don't go

The love you save may be your own

Some day you may be all alone

Stop it!

Save it, baby

You better stop

The love you save may be your own

Please, please

Or some day, some day, 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

Stop the love you save may be your own,

You better 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
