The Love You Save (May Be Your Own) - Joe Tex

Written by：Joe Tex

People I've been misled

And I've been afraid

I've been hit in the head

And left for dead

I've abused

And I've been accused

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

Or just leave love alone

Because the love you save today

Maybe will 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've 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

And find out what's wrong

Get it right

Or please leave love alone

Because the love you save today

Maybe will be your own
