The Love You Save

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 brutalised And I had to always be the one to smile And apologise 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 Oh please leave love alone Because the love you save today May very well be your own
