J5:Stop! Na na na! You'd better save it!
|
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it!
|
|
Michael: 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:
|
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.
|
|
Michael: I'm the one who loves you!
|
I'm the one you need!
|
|
Jermaine: Those other guys will put you down
|
As soon as they succeed!
|
|
Michael: They'll ruin your reputation!
|
They'll label you a flirt!
|
|
Jermaine: The way they talk about you
|
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh!
|
|
Second verse:
|
Michael: Isaac said he kissed you
|
Beneath the apple tree
|
When Benjie held your hand he felt
|
E-lec-tri-ci-tee!
|
When Alexander called you
|
He said he rang your chimes.
|
Christopher discovered
|
You're way ahead of your times!
|
|
|
CHORUS:
|
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 a danger zone.
|
|
