Little Michael, Little Marlon, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie - The Love You Save / I Want You Back / ABC 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 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 the danger zone.
Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh Ooo
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (to show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground, yeah
Following the girl I didn't even want around
(I want you back)
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (to show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
You went to school to learn girl
Things you never ever knew before
Like "I" before "E" except after "C"
And why 2 plus 2 makes 4
Now, now, now
I'm gonna teach you, teach you, teach you
All about love girl, all about love
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me
A B C, easy as
1 2 3, as simple as
Do re mi, A B C, 1 2 3
Baby you and me girl
Come on let me love you just a little bit
Come on let me love you just a little bit
I'm gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it's all about
Reading, writing, arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But listen, without the roots of love let me tell you, girl
Your education ain't complete
Teacher's gonna show you (show you, show you)
How to get an "A" (na, na, na, na, na, na)
How to spell "me", "you", add the two
Listen to me baby that's all you got to do
Oh, A B C it's easy,
It's like counting up to 3 (1 2 3)
Singing simple melodies (Do re mi, A B C)
That's how easy love can be
That's how easy love can be
