The Love You Save

People, I've been misled
And I've been afraid
I've been hit in the head
I've been left for dead

I've been abused
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
And find out what's wrong
Get it right
Please leave love alone

Because the love you save today
Maybe will be your own

I've been pushed around
And I've been lost and found
I've been given till sundown
To get out of town

I've been taken outside
And I've been brutalized
And I've always been the one
Who's had 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, I want you to stop
And find out what's wrong
Get it right
Please leave love alone

Because the love you save today
Maybe will be your own
