The Love You Save (May Be Your Own)

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
 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 just leave love alone
 Because the love you save today
 May very well be your own
 Listen to me
 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
 But I ain't never in my life before
 Seen so many love affairs go wrong as I do today
 So stop, find out what's wrong
 Get it right or please leave love alone
 Because the love you save today
 May very well be your own
