12 Year Old Michael Jackson: Jackson Five's "The Love You Save" Acapella!

Hey music fans,

Last Friday was Michael Jackson's birthday.  For those of us who actually grow up with him and the original Jackson Five, this song is timeless for us.  As a 4-year old child growing up in the Noe Valley district of San Francisco in the 70's, I drove my parents crazy with the following song by the Jackson Five - "The Love You Save".

Yes, it was "bubble gum" pop music, even for the era.  But I played, sanged, and danced to it 25 to 30 times a day as a child, until Bruce Lee came along and the whole Chinese Martial Arts thing that swept the nation and the world.....   

From the archives of the old Ed Sullivan Show, here is 12 year old Michael Jackson with his 15 year old brother Jermaine in the Jackson Five's "The Love You Save" in Acapella!!!  (There is a 20-second pause in the middle of the song).     

Sing along people, here are the words for the song.  Sing along folks..... 

"The Love You Save":

top! You better save me
Stop, stop, stop! You better save me, dear

When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be it
But chasin' boys was just a fad
You crossed your heart you'd quit
When we grew up you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back in grade school
You're doing the same old thing

Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow or someday you'll be all alone
Better stop! The love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone

I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
They'll ruin your reputation
They'll label you a flirt
The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt
Oh!

Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benjie held your hand
He felt electricity
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead your time

Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow or someday you'll be all alone
Better stop! The love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone

Hold on! Hold on!
Hold on! Hold on!
"S" is for save it
"T" is for take it slow
"O" is for oh no
"P" is for please
Please don't go

The love you save may be your own
Some day you may be all alone
Stop it!
Save it, baby
You better stop
The love you save may be your own
Please, please
Or some day, some day, baby
You'll be all alone
I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
Stop the love you save may be your own,
You better stop it, stop it, girl
Or someday you'll be all alone

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name
Turn your name to dirt

 

Jackson Five's "The Love You Save" featuring 12 year old Michael Jackson live on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1970.

PS.  Growing up in the City of San Francisco, I went through all of Michael's phases in his youth: The Jackson Five, The Jacksons, and Michael Jackson "The King of Pop".  But for me, Michael Jackson will always be that super talented 11 & 12 year old boy I saw on the Ed Sullivan Show so many many years ago.....
