Medley: I Want You Back / ABC / The Love You Save (Live from the 1981 U.S. Tour) Lyrics

When I had you to myself, didn't want you around
Those pretty faces all make you think I ain't proud
Someone wanna pick you from the bunch and boy, I think all it took
Now it must be late for me to take a second look

Oh baby, give me one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart?)
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go (To let you go, baby)
But now since I see you (I want you back)
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
You, baby

ABC, everybody clap your hands, come on, ooh!
One, two, three
Do, re, mi, ABC
That's how easy love can be

We're two scoops of nature you never ever knew before
Like God above, you can sit down and see what you're missing in store
I teach you, teach you, teach you all about love (All about love)
Sit yourself down and take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me

ABC, easy as one, two, three
I'm simple like do, re, mi, ABC
That's how easy love can be

Stop, you better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you better save it

We play like in grade school, you wanted to be the star
Choosing love without looking back, how you could win
We go out and trading, promise for a ring
Just like back in grade school, doing the same old thing

The life you save may be your own
Someday you'll be all alone
Stop the life you save may be your own
Someday you'll be all alone
Save it, save it

Oh now, oh now, oh now, oh now
S is for save it, T is for take it slow
O is for oh no, P is for please, please, no, no!
The life you save may be your own
Someday you may be all alone
Save it, save it

Oh now, oh now
Stop!
