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
