Save Your Best

(album: A Look Inside - 1972)

Hmm-mm
Lately everything you touch
Has turned to gold and that's too much
For your party pals to comprehend
They just know a good thing when they see it

But what about the time you've lost?
You can't buy it back at any cost
'Cause it's a-here today, tomorrow gone
But true love, well you can't guarantee it

Save your best for the one who loves you
Don't throw it away
Save your best for the one who loves you
You'll get it back with interest
And you won't have to say "Please"
But if you're sleeping with the dogs, baby
You're bound to get a few fleas

Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Whoa
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Hmm-mm
You have never had the things
That credit cards and money brings
So now, fly away on plastic wings
I've been there, I could tell you all about it

But I think it's best you know
That anywhere on this earth you go
You're gonna reap just what you sow
So beware of all the karma it can bring you

Save your best for the one who loves you
Don't throw it away
Save your best for the one who loves you
You'll get it back with interest, ha-ha-ha
And you won't have to say "Please"
When you're sleeping with the dogs, baby
You're bound to get a few fleas

Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Whoa
Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
