Save Your Best - Joe South

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 sleepin' 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 sleepin' 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
