The Love You Save

Stop! Na na na! You'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it

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 the 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 chimes
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, Baby! Ooh (Save it, girl)
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
Stop! The love you save may be your own, 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
Some day baby you'll be all alone

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