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
