Lyrics

[Part I: The Love You Save] [Intro] Stop, na-na-na, you better save it Stop, stop, stop, you better save it [Verse] 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 ol' thing [Chorus] Stop, the love you save may be your own Darling, take it slow or someday you'll be all alone You 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 [Part II: I Want You Back] [Intro] Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse] 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 [Chorus] Oh, baby, give me one more chance (To show that I love you) Won't you please let me (Back in your heart) Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby) But now since I see you in his arms [Bridge] Bum-bum-bum-ba-bum-ba-bum-bum (Uh-huh) Ba-ba-bum-bum-bum-ba-bum-ba-bum-bum Bum-bum-bum-ba-bum-ba-bum-bum (Ba-bum-ba-bum-bum) Ba-ba-bum-bum-bum-ba-bum-ba-bum-bum (Ba-bum-ba-bum-bum) [Verse 2] 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) [Chorus] Oh, baby, give me one more chance (To show that I love you) Won't you please let me (Back in your heart) Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby) But now since I see you in his arms [Part III: ABC] [Intro] A-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh (A-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh) [Verse 1] You went to school to learn, girl Things you never, never knew before Uh-huh, like I before E except after C And why two plus two makes four, now now, now I'm gonna teach you (Teach you, teach you) All about love, yeah (All about love) Sit yourself down, take a seat All you gotta do is repeat after me [Chorus] Oh, ABC, easy as one, two, three All simple as do-re-mi, ABC, one, two, three, baby, you and me, girl [Bridge] Come on, let me love you just a little bit Come on, let me love you just a little bit I'm gon' teach you how to sing it out Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about [Verse 2] 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 Tea-Tea-Teacher's gonna show you (Show you, show you) How to get an "A" (Na-na-na-na-na-na) Spell "me" (Me) and "you" (You, add the two) Listen to me, baby, that's all you gotta do [Outro] Oh, ABC, it's easy It's like counting up to three (One, two, three) Sing a simple melody (Do-re-mi, ABC) That's how easy love can be That's how easy love can be
