People, I've been misled
And I've been afraid
I've been kicked 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
And 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
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
I want you to stop
And 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
