Save Room Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say that you'll stay a little
Dont say bye-bye tonight
Say you'll be mine
Just a little bit of love
Is worth a moment of your time
Knockin' on your door just a little
It's so cold outside tonight
Let's get a fire burning
Oh, I know I'll keep it burning bright
If you stay, won't you save, save

[Hook]
Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love
Save a little, save a little for me
Won't you save a little
Save a little for me? (oh)

[Verse 2]
This just might hurt a little
But, love hurts sometimes when you do it right
Dont be afraid of a little bit of pain
Pleasure is on the other side

Let down your guard just a little
I'll keep you safe in these arms of mine
Hold on to me, pretty baby
You will see, I can be all you need
If you stay, won't you save, save
[Hook]
Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love
Save a little, save a little for me
Won't you save a little
Save a little for me? (oh)

[Verse 3]
Oh, come on
Make time to live a little
Don't let this moment slip by tonight
You'll never know what you're missing 'til you try
I'll keep you satisfied if you stay
Won't you save, save

[Hook] x2
Save room for my love
Save room for a moment to be with me
Save room for my love
Save a little, save a little for me
Won't you save a little
Save a little for me (oh)
(Won't you save a little
Save a little for me?)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The first single from John Legend’s second album, Once Again. According to Wikipedia, with no piano in this song, it’s meant to highlight Legend’s abilities as a singer, not only a piano player. Then again, who (that listened to the first album) actually thinks that way?

Samples Gábor Szabó’s cover of the song “Stormy” by Classics IV.

“Kanye West brought the sample. I didn’t even know the original. I just knew it was a nice organ sound and wanted to write to it. I just started mumbling along to it, finding my place in the melody and it worked for me.”

The music video features John Legend dealing with a bunch of different women, who all actually represent different aspects of the same person (notice how they’re all wearing the same clothes?).
