The Love You Save (Live at The Forum, August 26, 1972) The Jackson 5

[Intro: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
Stop, nanana, you'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you’d better save it
Come on now, everybody clap your hands, oh oh

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
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: Michael Jackson]
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

[Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
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
Label you a flirt
The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt
