J5: Stop! Nanana! 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!
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
J5: Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down
Slow down.
Michael: S is for Save it
T is for Take it slow

P is for Please, please, don`t go!
Jermaine: The love you save may be your own...
Michael: Some day you may be all alone...
Jermaine: Stop it!
Michael: Save it, girl!
Jermaine: Or some day you`ll be all alone.
Michael: You`d better stop! the love you save may be your own!
Jermaine: Please, please
Or some day, some day baby,
You`ll be all alone
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed. Michael: Stop! The love you
save may be your own...
