The Love You Save

[Verse 1]
People, I've been misled
And I've been afraid
I've been hit in the head
And left for dead
I've been abused
And I've been accused
I've been refused a piece of bread

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't never
In my life before
Seen so many love affairs
Go wrong as I do today

[Chorus]
I want you to stop
Find out what's wrong
Get it right
Or just leave love alone
Because the love you save today
May very well be your own

[Post-Chorus]
Listen to me

[Verse 2]
I've been pushed around
I've been lost and found
I've been given 'til sundown
To get out of town
I've been taken outside
And I've been brutalized
And I had to always be the one to smile and apologize

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't never
In my life before
Seen so many love affairs
Go wrong as I do today

[Chorus]
Ooh, so stop
Find out what's wrong
Get it right
Or just leave love alone
Because the love you save today
May very well be your own
