Oh, sure don't baby, baby, baby... ooh, ooh
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you but I love you
Always treat me like a fool
Kick me when I'm down that you do
I don't know why I love you, but I love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh you'll never, you'll never stop your cheating ways
With another guy you laugh in my face
Lord I know 'cause I feel disgrace
'cause I love you, oh, baby, baby, baby
I don't know why I love you
I don't know you and me, baby, oh yeah
I don't know why I love you, but I love you, baby
Oh darling, darling, darling, darling ...
You throw my heart down in the dirt
Oh, you make me cry
On this cold black earth, baby yeah
I never knew, I never knew how much I could hurt
'til I love you baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Can't stop, I can't stop crying can't you see
Here I'm pleading on my knees, upon my knees, yeah baby, yeah
Won't you help me, help me, please,
'cause I love you, love you, love you, ohh

I don't know why I love you baby, baby (I don't know, I don't know)
I don't know why I love you baby, baby...

Everybody loves the star
When he's on the top
But noone ever comes around
When he starts to drop

But you were someone special
You stuck through thick and thin
But I was much too busy
Trying to shine
To let your love shine in

Let you slip away
I must have been insane
Stop in the name of love
Don't make me live my life in vain

(Chorus)
Give me one more chance
That's all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I'll make it up to you
Just one more chance
That's all I ask of you
I'll build you a world for two
I'll make it up to you

Now since I'm all alone
I'm talking to myself
I know you're out there somewhere
Having fun with someone else

But a distant voice of hope
Echo from within, sayin'
(Don't give up)
(Your ship is comin' in)

Though my ship's alone
I'll play right to the end
I'm crying outside
heaven's door
Won't you let me back in


You'll never know
What I've been through
Let your love shine in again
This time I'll shine with you

Stop! Na na na! 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 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!


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 a danger zone.

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: Baby! Ooooh!
Michael: Youu better stop the love you save may be your own

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

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:
Ahhhhh!)

Michael: Stop! The love you save may be your own, baby
Jermaine: You’d better stop it, stop it, stop it girl! or someday you’ll be
allll alone. The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name(*2) to dirt.

Stop! The love you save may be your own!

Jermaine: Don’t cha know don’t cha know. Some day baby you’ll be alll alone.
(wait a while) Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed.

Seems like yesterday
You were in my arms
And in a special way
You touched my heart with all your charms.
Now you’re gone
And I find myself
Baby, I’m all alone
And there’s no love left.

Hey! hey!

Don’t know why I failed.
For you I’ve always cared
And I did all I know
To win your love and make it so
You’d always stay
But you turned away.
Honey, what could I say?
How could you
How could you do me this way?

Cuz I’m chained
To your love and affection.
Chained cuz your love
Is my only direction

Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh.
I’ve got to make it right
Somehow it all went wrong

Somewhere down the line
The love I lost
The love I gotta find
Whoah! and it won’t be long
I’ve gotta make it right baby
And carry you tenderly back home.
I’m chained
To your love and affection.
Baby, chained to your love.
When I hear your name
How I tremble, how I tremeble, yeah.
Honey, you know, honey, you know, yeah.

Now I admit that i
Haven’t been the perfect guy
For a girl as sweet as you
But my heart and soul cries out to you.

One more chance that’s all I need
I’m gonna make it right, baby,
Now you just stay won’t you stay with me?

Cuz I’m chained
To your love and afection.
Baby, I’m chained cuz your love
Is my only direction.
I’m chained...
