Written by The Corporation  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 justified  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 time!  REPEAT CHORUS  BRIDGE:  J5: Slow down.  Slow down.  Slow down  Slow down.  Michael: S is for "Save it"  T is for "Take it slow"  O is for "Oh, no!"  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...  etc to FADE    these lyrics are last corrected by Lovinmichaeljackson
