Save Your Love
Tracie Spencer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So far away
I miss you more than
These words can say
I know you're lonely but
So am I
But when temptation calls you
Remember you're my guy
Save your love
My love
Save it just for me
Save it up
Every drop
Till you're here with me
Save it all
Don't you fall
To my heart be true
'Cause I'm savin' my love for you
You know I trust you
With all my heart
Still I get jealous
When we're apart
It's only human
We're gonna flirt
But if you get too friendly
Baby, I'll get hurt
Save your love
My love
Save it just for me
Save it up
Every drop
Till you're here with me
Save it all
Don't you fall
To my heart be true
'Cause I'm savin' my love for you
Kenny called me late last night baby
Hopin' he could steal my heart away
I'll keep hangin' up on him
All that I'm askin' is you do the same
Save your love
My love
Save it just for me
Save it up
Every drop
Till you're here with me
Save it all
Don't you fall
To my heart be true
'Cause I'm savin' my love for you
In the song "Save Your Love" by Tracie Spencer, the lyrics speak about a relationship where distance is a factor, and there is an inherent fear of temptation and unfaithfulness. The singer tries to express her feelings to her significant other, reminding him that although they are lonely without each other, they still need to save their love for one another. Spencer's sincere vocals express her fear of being hurt and her hope that her partner remains loyal to her. The chorus speaks about saving one's love for each other and the dangers of falling for anyone else, ensuring that they stay true to each other in their hearts until they can be together again.
The second verse talks about trust and acknowledges the human aspect of jealousy. The singer tells her partner that she knows they will flirt with other people, but if it gets too friendly, she will get hurt. The bridge reveals that someone else, Kenny, is trying to steal the singer's heart away from her significant other, further solidifying the fear of cheating and making the message clearer: save your love for me.

Tracie showing she is maturing in this one ..I loved that transition ..I miss our style back then
LaChele
My goodness. She's gorgeous. And, she could sing. It's a shame that it didn't work out for Miss Tracie. I think she got caught up in industry politics.
IAMMOVIN4WARD!
That was why she left. She lost her love to make music in that horrific industry.
Mohammed Omer
I'd concur. She chose her integrity. Gotta respect her for that.
