The Love You Save

"S" is for save me
"T" is for take it slow
"O" is for oh, no
"P" is for please, please don't go

When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be it
When chasin' 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 in grade school
You're doin' the same old thing

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone
You better stop
The love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone

I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will get you down
As soon as they succeed

Isaac said he kissed you, beneath the apple tree
When Ritchie held your hand he felt electricity

Stop the love you save may be your own, please, please
Oh stop you, stop you baby you'll be all alone
Oh stop you, stop you baby you'll be all alone
