1) The Love You Save

(The Corporation)

Letra

The Love You Save

 
stop! you better save me
stop, stop, stop! you better save me, dear

when we played tag in grade school
you wanted to be it
but chasin’ 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 in grade school
you’re doing the same old thing

stop! the love you save may be your own
darlin’ take it slow or someday you’ll be all alone
better stop! the love you save may be your own
darlin’ look both ways before you cross me
you’re headed for a danger zone

i’m the one who loves you
i’m the one you need
those other guys will put you down
as soon as they succeed
they’ll ruin your reputation
they’ll label you a flirt
the way they talk about you
they’ll turn your name to dirt
oh!

isaac said he kissed you
beneath the apple tree
when benjie held your hand
he felt electricity
when alexander called you
he said he rang your chimes
christopher discovered
you’re way ahead your time

stop! the love you save may be your own
darlin’ take it slow or someday you’ll be all alone
better stop! the love you save may be your own
darlin’ look both ways before you cross me
you’re headed for a danger zone

hold on! hold on!
hold on! hold on!
“s” is for save it
“t” is for take it slow
“o” is for oh no
“p” is for please
please don’t go

the love you save may be your own
some day you may be all alone
stop it!
save it, baby
you better stop
the love you save may be your own
please, please
or some day, some day, baby
you’ll be all alone
i’m the one who loves you
i’m the one you need
those other guys will put you down
as soon as they succeed
stop the love you save may be your own,
you better stop it, stop it, girl
or someday you’ll be all alone

the way they talk about you
they’ll turn your name
turn your name to dirt

(The Corporation)

Letra

One More Chance

 
michael 
everybody loves the star
when hes 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
dont make me live my life in vain

jackson 5
give me one more chance
thats all i ask of you
just one more chance
ill make it up to you
just one more chance
thats all i ask of you
ill build you a world for two
ill make it up to you

michael
now since im all alone
im talking to myself
i know youre out there somewhere
having fun with someone else

but a distant voice of hope
echo from within, sayin

jackson 5
(dont give up)
(your ship is comin' in)

michael
though my ships alone
i'll play right to the end
im crying outside
heavens door
wont you let me back in

jackson 5
give me one more chance
thats all i ask of you
just one more chance
i'll make it up to you
just one more chance
thats all i ask of you
i'll build you a world for two
i'll make it up to you

michael
you'll never know
what ive been through
let your love shine in again
this time i'll shine with you

jackson 5
give me one more chance
thats all i ask of you
just one more chance
i'll make it up to you
just one more chance
thats all i ask of you
i'll build you a world for two

5) (Come 'Round Here) I'm the One You Need

(Brian Holland / Lamont Dozier / Edward Holland Jr.)

Letra

(Come 'Round Here) I'm the One You Need

 
now you say
everytime you need some affection
the one you love goes in another direction
you just sit back in a day reminiscing
’cause you know some other lips he’s been kissing

now when you need the love you never saw
you come around here
and when you need some loving arms to hold you
come around here
now i may not be the one you want
(honey, honey)
but i know i’m the one you need
(honey, honey)
say now, i may not be the one you want
(honey, honey)
but i know i’m the one you need
(honey, honey)

your life stands still the minute he goes
you count the hours just hoping that he shows
girl, can’t you see while you’re longing for his touch
(honey, honey)
that i’m the one who loves you so much
(honey, honey)
and while you’re longing for his embrace
(honey, honey)
you’re all alone with the tears on your face
(honey, honey)

now when you feel the need to cry to someone
cry to me
and when you feel the need to lean on someone
lean on me

now, i may not be the one you want
(honey, honey)
but i’m sure that i’m the one you need
(honey, honey)
oh baby, i may not be the one you want
(honey, honey)
but i’m sure i’m the one you need
(honey, honey)

now, the days, the days, the days
you sit alone by yourself
he’s out fooling around with somebody else
leaving you alone here with nothing to do
he’s just waiting till he has time for you

now when the loneliness get hard to bear, girl
come around here
and when you need a little tender love and care, girl
come around here

now, i may not be the one you want
(honey, honey)
but i’m sure i’m the one you need
(honey, honey)
oh baby, i may not be the one you want
(honey, honey)
babe, babe, babe, babe, baby
oh now, oh now, i may not be the one you want
but, i’m sure i’m the one you need
