Michael: 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: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 times! |
