[Intro: DJ Cassidy]
Woo! Oh, sounds like beauty, doesn't it?
MJ, DJ Cassidy, oh

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
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: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday 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

[Bridge: Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson]
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
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
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 chime
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your time

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday 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

[Bridge: The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson]
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
Someday 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 someday, someday baby, you'll be all alone

[Interlude: DJ Cassidy]
Woo
Woo

[Bridge: Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson]
I'm the one that loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed (Oh)

[Outro: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5, Jermaine Jackson]
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
Stop! Stop!
The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name, turn your name to dirt
Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Don't you know, don't you know
Someday baby, you'll be all alone
Stop! Stop!
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday you'll be all alone
