The Love You Save May Be Your Own

I'm talking to all the lovers in the house tonight

Now listen, you know I want you to find out what's wrong

And get it right, or you should leave love alone

Because the love you save, it might be your own



People, I've been misled and I've been afraid

I've been hit in the head, ohh, and left for dead

I've been abused, woah and I've been accused

Been refused a piece of bread



But I ain't never in my life before

Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today



I want you to stop, find out what's wrong

Get it right or leave love alone

Because the love you save today

May very well be your own



I've been pushed around, oh yeah, and I've been lost and found

Given the sundown to get out of town

I've been taken outside, oh and I've been brutalized

I had to always be the one to smile and apologize



But I ain't never in my life before

Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today



I want you to stop, find out what's wrong

Get it right or leave love alone

Because the love you save today

Might very well be your own
