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.
