The Love You Save Lyrics

Stop na na na, you'd better save it!
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it!

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!

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.

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!
They'll label you a flirt!

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh!

Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benji held your hand he felt
Electricity
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes.
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your times!

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.

Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.

S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"
O is for "Oh, no!"
P is for "Please, please, don't go!"

The love you save may be your own
Some day you may be all alone
Stop it!
Save it, girl!
Baby, ooh!
You better stop, the love you save may be your own
Please, please
Or some day, some day baby,
You'll be all alone

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. (Ah!)

Stop, the love you save may be your own, baby
You'd better stop it, stop it, stop it girl!
Or someday you'll be all alone.

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name, turn your name to dirt.

Stop, he love you save may be your own!
Don't you know don't you know.
Some day baby you'll be all alone. (Wait a while)

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed.

Stop, the love you save may be your own!

The Love You Save

Like "I Want You Back" and "ABC," this was written and produced by "The Corporation": Freddie Perren, Deke Richards, Fonce Mizell, and Berry Gordy Jr.

With this single, the Jackson 5 became the first act ever to have its first three chart singles top the Billboard singles chart (Hot 100, or Top 100 prior to 1956).

The original lyrics concerned traffic safety. After the song was altered to fit the style of the Jackson 5, only the title and the line "Darling, look both ways before you cross me" survived. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

The "Christopher" reference is about Christopher Columbus. The line is, "Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time," which makes sense, but only from an American perspective: Schoolchildren in the USA were taught that Christopher Columbus "discovered" the North American continent. (thanks, Robin - Birmingham, AL)

ABC Lyrics

A buh-buh buh buh-buh

A buh-buh buh buh-buh

You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before

Like I before E except after C

And why two plus two makes four
Now now now, I'm gonna teach you
Teach you, teach you

All about love, dear
All about love

Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me.

ABC
Easy as
One, two, three
Or simple as
Do re mi
ABC, one, two, three, baby, you and me girl!
ABC
Easy as
One, two, three
Or simple as
Do re mi
ABC, one, two, three, baby, you and me!

Come on, let me love you just a little bit!
Come on, let me love you just a little bit!
I'm a going to teach how to sing it out!
Michael: Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it's all about!

Reading, writing and arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree

But without the roots of love every day, girl

Your education ain't complete
T-T-T-Teacher's gonna show you

Show you, show you

How to get an A!

Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!

Spell "me" "you"
Add the two!
Listen to me baby, that's all you gotta do!

Oh, ABC
As easy as
One, two, three
Or simple as
Do re mi
ABC, one, two, three, baby, you and me girl!
ABC
It's easy,
It's like counting up to three (One, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be!

Sit down, girl!
I think I love you!
No!
Get up, girl!
Show me what you can do!

Shake it, shake it, baby, come on now!
Shake it, shake it, baby, ooh ooh!
Shake it shake it, baby, huh!
One, two, three, baby, ooh ooh!
ABC, baby, nah nah!
Do re mi, baby, huh!
That's how easy love can be.

ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (One, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be!
(I'm not gonna teach you how to sing it out)
Come on come on come on let me show you what it's all about
ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (One, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be!
(I'm not gonna teach you how to sing it out)
Sing it out, sing it, sing it, sing it
Oh baby, ABC, it's easy
It's like counting up to three (One, two, three)
Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)
That's how easy love can be!

ABC Song Chart

This song was written and produced by a group of Motown songwriters known as "The Corporation." They were: Freddie Perren, Fonce Mizell, Deke Richards, and Berry Gordy, Jr. Freddie Perren was a former school teacher, which probably influenced the school metaphors in the lyrics.

This became the Jackson 5's second #1 hit by knocking out the Beatles' "Let It Be."

According to co-writer Freddie Perren, the music of this is the chorus of their previous hit, "I Want You Back."

After the Jacksons were signed to Motown, they moved to Hollywood for a year of rehearsals. Some lived with Berry Gordy, some with Diana Ross. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 3)

In 1991, rap group Naughty by Nature had a hit song called "O.P.P." that sampled this.

This appears in the Eddie Murphy film Daddy Daycare. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)

During the song's break where all instruments drop out except drums, the ascending yell that is heard is sampled from the legendary New Orleans Funk band The Meters song "Cissy Strut." (thanks, Ele - Takoma Park, MD)

This song was used in a large dance sequence in the Kevin Smith film Clerks II. A major plot point happens near the end of it. (thanks, Tim - Jacksonville, FL)
