*Nobody

Jackson 5


(Nobody, no, nobody)
(Said nobody)
No, no, no, nobody can love me like you do
(Can love me like you do)
(Can love me like you do)

(Money in the bank)
Money in the bank
Don't mean a thing

(Money can't buy)
Money can't buy
The love you bring

But your love, baby
Can make a blind man see, yes it can

Can make the devil get right down on his knees

(Nobody, no, nobody)
(Said nobody)
No, no, no, nobody can love me like you do
(Can love me like you do)
(Can love me like you do)

(Movie star queen)
A movie star queen
Can move me not

(Movie star queen)
Take off the paint, baby
What you got

Take me, girl
You're my desire, honey

I get steaming hot
Everytime you light my fire
Light my fire.

(Nobody, no, nobody)
(Said nobody)
No, no, no, nobody can love me like you do
(Can love me like you do)
(Can love me like you do)

Hey baby, baby, baby, baby

The good book says
The good book says
To share with your brother

(The good book says)
When it comes to you
You better find him another
You know the wise old owl
Got nothing to say
But if you loved him like you love me
He'd hoot twenty-four hours a day

(Nobody, no, nobody)
(Said nobody)
No, no, no, nobody can love me like you do
(Can love me like you do)
(Can love me like you do)

Nobody can love me like you do
Nobody can love me like you do

*I want you back



Just let me tell you now
When I had you to myself
I didn’t want you around
These pretty faces
Always made you stand out in a crowd
Then someone picked you from the bunch
One glance is all it took
Now it’s much too late for me to take a second look

Chorus:
Oh baby give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won’t you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh darlin’ I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back) Yes I do now
(I want you back) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back) nah, nah, nah, nah

Trying to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl that I know wrong from right
Ev’ry street you walk on
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn’t even want around!

Just let me tell you now
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won’t you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh darlin’ I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms

All I want, all I need, all I want, all I need
Just one more chance
Show you that I love you, baby (I want you back)
Forget what happened then, let me live again
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back) Spare me of this cost
and give back what I lost

*Can You Remember

Jackson 5


Can you remember
When we were babies
We were always together
When we were in kindergarten

Now that you are grown
So girl you left me all alone
And you know I’ll never find
Noone to call my own
So, girl, I love you
Don’t you know I love you
I love you

(My Cherie, life for you)
Life for you
(To remember if you can)
Hey, can you remember
(Time we had)
(And the time we shared)
And the time we shared
(Sitting together)
(In the grass)
In the grass

Can you remember
When we were babies
We were always together
And our love had no end
The sunny skies are blue
So, girl, you know that I love you
And I’ll always promise you
That this is the way I’ll do
So, girl, I love you
Don’t you know I love you

My Cherie, life for you
To remember if you can
Time we had
And the time we shared

Can you remember
Life for you
To Remember if you can
Time we had
And the time we shared
We sat in the park playing in the grass

*Standing In The Shadows Of Love

Jackson 5


Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches of come

(Can't you see me)
Standing the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

I wanna run but there's no place to go
’Cause heartaches will follow me I know
Without your love, the love I need
It's the beginning of the end of me

’Cause you've taken away all my reasons for living
When you pushed aside all the love I've been giving
Now wait a minute
Didn't I treat you right
Now, baby, didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I do the best I could
Now didn't I
Didn't I

Don't you see me
Standing in the shadows of love
I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come
Can't you see me
Standing the shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

All alone I'm destined to be
With misery my only company
It may come today or it might come tomorrow
But it's for sure I ain’t got nothing but sorrow

I thought your conscience would kinda bother you
How can you watch me cry after all I've done for you

Hold on a minute
Gave you all the love I had
Now didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I
When you needed me I was always there
Now wasn't I
Wasn't I

Don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
I'm trying not, not to cry outloud
’Cause all this cryin' it ain't, it ain't gonna help me none

Now what did I do, girl to cause all this grief
Now what did I say to make you wanna leave
Now wait a minute

I gave my heart and soul to you
Now didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I
And didn't I always treat you good
Now didn't I
Didn't I

Don't you leave me
Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come
Standing in the shadows of love
Trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

*My Cherie Amour

Jackson 5


My Cherie Amour
Lovely as a summer day
My Cherie Amour
Distant as the Milky Way
My Cherie Amour
Pretty little one that I adore
You’re the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I’ve been near you
But you never noticed me
My Cherie Amour
Won’t you tell me how could you ignore
That behind the little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

My Cherie Amour
My Cherie Amour

Maybe someday you see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday you share your little distant cloud
Oh, Cherie Amour
Pretty little one that I adore
You’re the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine

*Who's Lovin' You

Jackson 5


When I had you
I treated you bad and wrong, my dear
And, girl, since, since you went away
Don’t you know I sit around
With my head hangin’ down
And I wonder who’s lovin’ you

I should have never ever made you cry
And, girl, since, since you’ve been gone
Don’t you know I sit around
With my head hangin’ down
And I wonder who’s lovin’ you

Life without love
It’s all so lonely
I don’t think, I don’t think
I’m gonna make it
All my life, all my life, yeah
Belongs to you all, lady
Come on and take it, girl
Come on and take it
Because all, all I can do, all I can do
Since you’ve been gone is cry

Ad libs

*Chained

Jackson 5


Ooh, listen darling
Seems like yesterday
You were in my arms
And in a special way
You touched my heart
With all your charms
Now you're gone
(Now you're gone)
And I find myself
(Find myself)
Baby, I'm all alone
(I'm all alone)
And there's no love left
(No love left)

Hey! Hey!
Don't know what I failed
Seems I've always cared
And now all I know
To win your love and make it so
You'd always stay
But you turned away
Honey, what did I say
How could you, how could you do
How could you do me this way?

’Cause I'm chained
To your love and affection
Chained with my heart and affection

I've got to make it right
Somehow I’m always wrong
Somewhere down the line
The love I lost
The love I got to find
And it won't be long
I've gotta make it right, baby
And carry you tenderly back home

I'm chained
To your love and affection
Chained with my heart, with affection
How I tremble, how I tremble, yeah
Honey, you know, honey, you know, yeah

Ooh, baby, yeah
Now I admit that I
Haven't been the perfect guy
For a girl as sweet as you
But my heart and soul cries out for you

(One more chance that's all I need)
I'm gonna make it right, baby
If you just stay
Won’t you stay with me

’Cause I'm chained
To your love and affection
Well, I'm chained with my heart and all its affection

*(I Know) I'm Losing You

Jackson 5


Your love is fading
I can feel your love fading
Girl, it’s fading away from me
’Cause your touch
Your touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I’ve fooled myself long as I can
And I can feel the presence
Of another man

Girl, when you speak my name
It’s just not the same
Ooh, little girl, I’m losing you
It’s in the air
It’s everywhere
Ooh baby, I’m losing you

When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face I see
I’m hurt, down-hearted and worried, girl
’Cause that face doesn’t belong to me

It’s all over your face
Someone’s taking my place
Ooh, little girl, I’m losing you
It’s hard to hide
Emptiness inside
Ooh, little girl, I’m losing you

I can tell when we kiss
From the tenderness I miss
Oh baby, I’m losing you
I can feel it in my bones
Any day you’ll be gone
Ooh baby, I’m losing you

Oh baby, what happened to the love we shared
Ooh baby, I’m losing you
I don’t wanna lose you, girl
No baby

*Stand

Jackson 5


Stand
In the end you'll still be you
One that's done all the things
You set out to do

Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere

(Everybody say)
Stand
For the things you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight

Stand
All the things you want are real
If you chose to complete and there is no deal

Stand
Stand
Stand

Stand
They will try to make you crawl
And they know
What they're saying makes no sense at all
Stand
Don't you know that you are free
Well, at least in your mind if you want to be

(Everybody say)

*Born To Love You

Jackson 5


Girl, as you walk by
I see the sign so deep inside
I knew it had to be
When you smiled for a little while
I heard the same rhapsody
So lovely and so fair

I knew right then and there
That you were made for me
And it wasn't hard to see
I guess I was born to love you
Guess I was born to love you

(Darling I, I was born to love you)
(Give my love to no one but you)

There stands a man with the future in his hands
Don't let go
(Don't let go)
Don’t let go
(Don't let go)
Baby, don't let go

You better come on
And take my hand
’Cause I can't understand

This feeling in my soul
But I know that I would rather die
Than to let this feeling go
Oh, now, girl can you see
That this was meant to be

It's funny but it's true
I guess I was born to love you
Guess I was born to love you
Guess I was born to love you
Darlin’ I, yeah
I guess I was born to love you

*The love you save


J5: Stop! Nanana! You'd better save it!
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it!

Michael: When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be It.
But chasing boys was just a fad
You crossed your heart you'd quit.

When we grew up you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back to grade school
You're doing the same old thing!

CHORUS:
Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone.
You'd better stop the love you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for the danger zone.

Michael: I'm the one who loves you!
I'm the one you need!

Jermaine: Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed!

Michael: They'll ruin your reputation!
They'll label you a flirt!

Jermaine: The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh!

Second verse:
Michael: Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benjie held your hand he felt
E-lec-tri-ci-tee!
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes.
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your times!

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:

J5: Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.

Michael:
S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"
O is for "Oh, no!"
P is for "Please, please, don't go!"

Jermaine: The love you save may be your own...

Michael: Some day you may be all alone...

Jermaine: Stop it!
Michael: Save it, girl!
Jermaine: Or some day you'll be all alone.

Michael: You'd better stop! the love you save may be your own!
Jermaine: Please, please
Or some day, some day baby,
You'll be all alone

Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed.

Michael: Stop! The love you save may be your own...

*One More Chance (1970)

Jackson 5


Everybody loves the star
When he’s on the top
But noone ever comes around
When he starts to drop

But you were someone special
You stuck through thick and thin
But I was much too busy
Trying to shine
To let your love shine in

Let you slip away
I must have been insane
Stop in the name of love
Don’t make me live my life in vain

Give me one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I’ll make it up to you
Just one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
I’ll build you a world for two
I’ll make it up to you

Now since I’m all alone
I’m talking to myself
I know you’re out there somewhere
Having fun with someone else

But a distant voice of hope
Echo from within, sayin’
(Don’t give up)
(Your ship is comin' in)

Though my ship’s alone
I’ll play right to the end
I’m crying out
So heaven’s door
Won’t you let me back in

Give me one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I’ll make it up to you
Oh, one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
I’ll build you a world for two
I’ll make it up to you

You’ll never know
What I’ve been through
Let your love shine in again
This time I’ll shine with you

One more chance
That’s all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I’ll make it up to you
Oh, one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
I’ll build a world for two
I’ll make it up to you
Oh, one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I’ll make it up to you
Oh, one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
I’ll build a world for two
I’ll make it up to you
Oh, one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
I’ll make it up to you
I’ll build a world for two

*(Come Around Here) I'm The One You Need

Jackson 5


Now you say
Everytime you need some affection
The one you love goes in another direction
You just sit back in a day reminiscing
’Cause you know some other lips he’s been kissing

Now when you need the love you never saw
You come around here
And when you need some loving arms to hold you
Come around here
Now I may not be the one you want

But I know I’m the one you need

You count the hours just hoping that he shows
Girl, can’t you see while you’re longing for his touch
(Honey, Honey)
That I’m the one who loves you so much
(Honey, Honey)
And while you’re longing for his embrace
(Honey, Honey)
You’re all alone with the tears on your face
(Honey, Honey)

Now when you feel the need to cry to someone
Cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone
Lean on me
Now, I may not be the one you want

But I’m sure that I’m the one you need
(Honey, Honey)
Oh baby, I may not be the one you want

Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
He’s just waiting till he has time for you
Now when the loneliness get hard to bear, girl
Come around here
And when you need a little tender love and care, girl
Come around here

*La-la Means I Love You

Jackson 5


Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn’t true
And you passed them by
Are you in the center ring
And their lines don’t mean a thing
Why don’t you let me try
No, I don’t wear a diamond ring
I don’t even know a song to sing

All I know is la-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
Oh, baby, please, now
La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you

If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me
Let me hold you in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I’m sure you will see
The things I am sayin’ are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me

La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you
Oh, baby please now

Come on, and be my only one now

*I found that girl


Mama, Oh Mama, I found that girl;
Mama oh Mama I found that girl.

Mama, life for me now is a new sensation
just like you said it would be, with the right situation.
Now love has meaning and I have a goal;
this feeling inside now makes yester-me a hundred years old,
now I understand what it is to be a man.
The way you explained it to me that day,
you said only the right girl could make me feel this way, well,

Mama I think I found that girl,
yeah, mama, I think I found that girl.

Mama, she that beautiful dream that I dream each night,
she's that bird of love on whose wings I'm in flight.
She's those words left when there's no more to say,
she's my sunshine at the end of a perfect day.
All this lets find a reason to be alive.
That day when you set me upon your knee
you said the only the right girl could be all these things,

Mama, I think I found that girl;
well mama, I think I found that girl.

She said, "Son, go on and search around,
there's a good girls whose out there to be found;" and

Mama I think I found that girl;
well, mama I think I found that girl.

Mama, Oh Mama, I found that girl;
Mama oh Mama I found that girl.

Jackson 5


When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I’ll dry them all
I’m on your side

Woh, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

(When you’re down and out)
(When you’re on the street)
(When evening falls so hard)
(I will comfort you)
Ooh, I’ll take your part

Oh, and darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

(I will lay me down)
(I will lay me down)
Sail on silver, girl
Sail on by

Your time has come to shine
All your dreams along the way, yeah

*The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage

Jackson 5


There you were beautiful
The promise of love was written on your face
You led me on with untrue kisses
You held me captured in your false embrace

Quicker than I could bat an eye
Seems you were telling me goodbye
Just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
Sweetness was only heartache’s camouflage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage

You promised that happiness we’ll ever share
But all I have are memories of love that was never there

We used to meet in romantic places
You gave the illusion that your love was real
Now all that’s left are lipstick traces
From the kisses you only pretended to feel

And now our meeting you avoid
And so my world you have destroyed
Just a minute ago your love was here
All of a sudden it seemed to disappear
The way you wrecked my life was like sabotage
The love I saw in you was just a mirage

You brought me up just to throw me down
you love me and my dreams shattered all on your ground

You only filled me with despair
By showing love that wasn’t there
Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
A green oasis where there’s only sand
You lured me into something I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was just a mirage

To you I gave true love from deep within
You made me hungry for your love
When it was not deeper than your skin

Just like the desert shows a thirsty man
A green oasis where there’s only sand
You lured me into, into something I should have dodged
The love I saw in you was just a mirage

*Darling Dear

Jackson 5


The game of love
Is such a beautiful game
If you’ve got time, little girl
I’d like to explain
All the do’s and don’ts
All the wills and won’ts

So Lend an ear, darling dear
(Sweet darling dear)
Do be sincere
And true love will appear
Don’t be shy
Or love will pass you by
If you will
My heart you may steal
If you don’t
The game of love you lose alone

(Darling dear)

Do be sincere
And true love will appear
Don’t be shy
Or love will pass you by
If you will
My heart you may steal
If you don’t
The game of love you lose alone

(First)
First I’ll place my arms
So gently around you
(Then)
Then whisper darling I’m so glad I found you

Then your lips unwind
A simple touch wouldn’t mind
A kiss will stay, darling dear
(Sweet darling)
Darling, darling dear, yeah
(Sweet darling dear)
Darling dear
(Sweet darling dear)
Darling dear

Christmas Album

*Christmas Won't Be The Same This Year

Jackson 5


“—Merry Christmas everybody!
—Yeah, Merry Christmas everybody, big deal...
—Hey man, what’s wrong with you Jermaine?
—Yeah, that’s not kind of attitude...
—This only happens once a year!
—Hey, fellas, don’t bug in! He and his girl just broke up, so get off his back! Can’t you see there’s tears in his eyes?
—Yeah, he’s cryin’...”

Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry

Christmas won’t be the same this year
Without her loving arms holding you so near
Christmas won’t be the same this year
(No, it won’t, now, darlin’, no, no)
Without her loving arms holding you so near

I see the lights
But they don’t shine for me
I see the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
Our house is decorated
My friends are celebrating

No, no, it won’t be the same this year
The things we used to do
Now Darling, it’s all over

The neighborhood kids
Are having so much fun
Counting off the days
’Til Santa Claus comes
And I see the mistletoe
Hanging from my door
I wish I could kiss you again
Like I did before

So go on, girl
And have your fun
Don’t spoil your time
Thinking about me
This time next year, my darling dear
Hopefully, you’ll be having dinner with me

No, no, it won’t be the same without you, my darling

Maybe Tomorrow

*Maybe tomorrow


I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven is here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
The way .. you do baby

Thank you, thank you baby

My beautiful bird you have flown away
I held you to tight, I can see

You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby

Chorus:
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow, you'll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow, you'll come back to my arms girl

(maybe she won't)

Maybe

You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby


Chorus (adlib)
(repeat till fade)

*Never can say goodbye


Chorus:
(That) I never can say (you) goodbye (girl)
(No, no, no, no) I never can say goodbye( girl)

Even though the pain and heartache
Seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I tried, tried to hide my feelings
They always seemed to show
Then you try to say you’re leaving me
And I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so, why ?

Chorus

Every time I think I’ve had enough
And start heading for the door
There’s a very strange vibration
That’s piercing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more
Tell me why is it so?
Don’t wanna let you go!

I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there’s that same unhappy feeling
And there’s that anguish, there’s that doubt
It’s the same old dizzy hang-up
Can’t do with you or without
Tell me why is it so?
Don’t wanna let you go!

Chorus

Looking Through The Windows

*Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Jackson 5


Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, no, no
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain’t nothing)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

Ooh, I’ve got your picture
Hanging on the wall
But it can’t see or come to me
When I call your name
(When I call your name)
I realize it’s just a picture in a frame

I read your letters
When you’re not near
But they don’t move me
And they don’t groove me
Like when I hear
(When I hear your voice)
Your sweet voice
Whispering in my ear
(In my ear)

No other sound is quite the same
As your name
(Quite the same as your name)
Your touch can do half this much
To make me feel better
So let’s stay together

Ooh, I got memories to look back on
Though they help when you’re gone
I’m well aware
(I’m well aware)
Nothing can take the place of your being there
(Being there)

Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain’t nothing)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
Ooh, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain’t nothing)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

Ooh, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

(Lookin’ through the window)
(Lookin’ through the window)
(Lookin’ through the window)
(The window)
(Through the window)
(Lookin’ through the window)

Lookin’ through the windows
The window to your heart
Oh baby, yeah
I can see it’s cloudy
The rain’s about to start

Lookin’ through the windows
(Lookin’ through the window)
It seems I caused your fears
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And that little doubt, girl
(And your little doubt, girl)
And now it’s bringing tears
(And it’s bringing tears)

(Remember)
Just remember whatever makes you feel that way
Don’t you worry ’cause I’m gonna stay
Right by your side
(By your side)
To keep on lookin’ through the windows
Lookin’ in your eyes

Looking through the windows
(Lookin’ through the window)
Seems like the only way, yeah
I can’t know your feelings
If you still love me today

(Remember)
Just remember whatever makes you feel that way
Don’t you worry ’cause I’m gonna stay
Right by your side
(By your side)
To keep on lookin’ through the windows
Lookin’ in your eyes

*Don't Let Your Baby Catch You

Jackson 5


Don’t let your baby catch you
Don’t let your baby catch you
Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around

Oh, the nights are lonely
Twice as cold
Without my baby’s hand to hold
My happiness is fading away
Just like a thief
I tried to steal a kiss
From another pretty miss
My baby was the price that I paid

Now listen, fellows
(Think twice)
Think twice if you have cheating on your mind
(Watch your step)
Remember
The punishment will fit your crime

Don’t let your baby catch you
Don’t let your baby catch you
Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around

Oh, I hope that now you let me be
Do right not wrong in full indeed
I’m gonna crawl back all the way on my knees
And if that’s no use I’d get to move
And settle down and come to her
Oh, before I even say please
If I get one more chance
My life would be as good as you
And I would not forget the days
The sun would not shine through

Don’t let your baby catch you
Don’t let your baby catch you
Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around
Oh, no
Can’t you not, can’t you not, can’t you not, babe

Oh, don’t let her
Oh, your baby catch you
You might lose the best thing
That you ever found

Tell about it, Mike

You’re crazy about your baby
And she’s crazy about you
Just think of what you’d do to her
If she was untrue

Don’t let your baby catch you
Don’t let your baby catch you
Don’t let your baby catch you
All right
Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around

Don’t let it
Don’t let it
Don’t let it
Stop
Stop
Stop

Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around
You just might lose the best thing
That you ever found
Don’t let your baby catch you
Fooling around

*To Know

Jackson 5


To know of life
(To know of life)
Is to know what I’m living for
Touch my hand
And, baby, I’m yours

To know of love
(To know of love)
Is to know that I live for you
To be in love
Is to be there with you

(Everyday)
Everyday means so much to me
But it all depends on you
Don’t you know, oh, baby
We were meant to be
Oh, and life for me
Begins and ends with you

To know you’re mine
(To know you’re mine)
Is to know how it used to be
Yesterday is all I can see
That’s how I know
Life can be beautiful
But it all depends on you
Now that you’re gone, baby

(Since you’ve been gone)
Just not the same, baby
Since you’ve been gone
Just not the same, baby

To know of us
Is what I’m still living for
But it all depends on you
Baby, it all depends on you
(Baby, come home)
To know happiness
Is to know you’re here in my arms
(Baby, come home)
Let me know, let me know, let me know
What it is to live again
(Baby, come home)
(Baby, come home)

*Doctor My Eyes

Jackson 5


Doctor my eyes
Have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears
Without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good
Without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise
To leave them open for so long, yeah

’Cause I have
’Cause I have wandered through this world
And each moment has unfurled
I’ve been waiting to awaken from these dreams

People go just where they will
I never noticed them until
I got this feeling that it’s later than it seems

Doctor my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it’s too late for me, oh yeah

Doctor my eyes
Can not see the sky
Is this prize
For having learned how not to cry, oh yeah

Doctor my eyes
Doctor my eyes

*Corner Of The Sky

Jackson 5


Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason
And I’ll soon show you a rhyme
Cats sit on the window sill
Children sit in the show
Why do I feel
I don’t fit in anywhere I go

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner of the sky

Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have of sticking to the soul
Thunder comes after lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don’t you see I want my life
To be something more than none

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner of the sky
Of the sky

So many men seem desperate
’Cause they got something small
But I, I won’t rest
Until I know I have it all
So don’t ask where I’m goin’
But listen when I’m gone
Always you’ll hear me singin’
Softly to the dawn

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner of the sky
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
(Fly, oh)
I’ve got to be where my spirit can run free
(Gotta find)
Gotta find my corner
(Gotta find)
Gotta find my corner, yes, I do
(Gotta find)
Gotta find my corner
(Gotta find)
Gotta find my corner of the sky

Get It Together

*Get It Together

Jackson 5


You better get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone

Get up, get up, get up
Get up off your high horse, girl
Think what you’re doing, doin’
Get up off your high horse, girl
Think what you’re doin’, doin’

I’m spinnin’ around on your merry-go-round
You got me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy

Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone

Now, now, babe

Get it together
Or leave it alone
You better, get it, get it
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone

Get up off your high horse, girl
Think what you’re doin’, doin’
Get up off your high horse, girl
Think what you’re doin’, doin’

I can’t stand all this confusion
All this shuckin’ and jivin’
You’re putting down, down, down

Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone


Big girl what you’re doing
Throwin’ this heart of mine all away
Oh, big girl you know I love you
To keep a love like mine is hard this day

*Don't Say Goodbye Again

Jackson 5


Girl don’t you say
Girl don’t you make
Girl don’t you make
Make me cry
Make me cry

You had my life
In the palm of your hand
Why you threw it away
I’ll never ever understand
You took away the best part
The best part of me
You took away, you
How cruel could you be
You’re just another heartache
I’ve got to learn to take
You’re just another habbit
I have to learn to break
Am I alone again
Am I alone again
Am I alone, alone, alone

Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t make me cry, cry, cry
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t make me cry, cry, cry, again
Again, again

The more I try the more you hurt me
Why
Tell me why
Tell me why

I can take an aspirin
For a bad headache
But what pill for loneliness can I take
I can seal to you
Just like cellophane
But I need you, baby
Like a star needs fame
You’re not another habbit
I have to learn to break
Let’s try to patch it up
Before it’s too late
I’m in love with you
I’m in love with you
I’m in love, in love, in love

Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t make me cry, cry, cry
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t make me cry, cry, cry, again

The more I try the more you hurt me
Why
Tell me why
Tell me why

*It's Too Late To Change The Time

Jackson 5


In this automatic age
We shop through the Yellow Page
Gone is the corner store
There’s a supermarket there for you
People give way to change
But feelings remain the same

And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
Well, it’s too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
But it’s not too late to change your mind

It’s a new day, a new age
A photograph just taken
Is ready one minute later
Cars are bigger and better
But the man in fact is satisfied never
In a world full of crime
I can’t let you take that ride

And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
But it’s not too late to change your mind, no, no

So you wanna be a star
I really think you are
You don’t have to go further
Than my lovin’ arms

And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
But it’s not too late to change your mind

Are you sure you wanna go to New York City
Where girls make it big if they’re pretty
Let’s say you give that penthouse view
But who’s gonna love you
The way I do

It’s too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
Too late
Too late to change the time
But it’s not too late to change your mind
Too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
Too late, too late to change the time

*I Am Love

Jackson 5


The eyes of love will watch you
As you go from day to day
The hands of love will catch you
When you fall along the way
My arms will hold and be with you
Your whole life through
’Cause I am love
And I’m in love with you

I find myself in wonder
Of why I’ve been misused
When love brings understanding
How can it be confused
(War and poverty wasn’t meant to be)
Hate is drivin’ me away
’Cause I am love
And I’d love to stay

Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come back lover, come back
This is where you belong
Come on back, oh yeah
Please, this is where you belong

I am love
Sprinkle myself around you
I am love
Shower my warmth upon you

I’m the answer to the question
My key unlocks your heart
I’m your friend and your lover
Your sister and your brother

Let me in your mind
(Let’s get together)
You’re runnin’ out of time
(Let’s get together)
Your wish is my command
(Let’s get together)
People take my hand
(Let’s get together
(Love, love, love, love)
(Let’s get together, let’s get together)

I am love,
Sprinkle myself around you,
I am love
Shower my warmth upon you

I am love
I am love

Jackson 5


If I don’t love you this way
If I don’t love you this way

If I don’t love you this way
Why do I say what I say, yeah
If I don’t need you this much
Why do I ache for your touch, yeah

But you it seems
I can reach the stars
With reckless hopes and dreams
But you it seems
Still don’t believe
How valuable you are
I’m really loving you
Not pretending to

If I don’t love you this strong
What do I beg to belong, yeah
How can you doubt that I care
When I’m with you everywhere, yeah

With you I find
I can close my eyes
To the world surrounding me
And you create
The sweetest things
That I could ever be
I’m really loving you
Not pretending to

If I don’t love you this way
Why do I say what I say, yeah
If I don’t need you this much
Why do I ache for your touch, yeah

You just have to smile
To make my life worthwhile
Doesn’t that explain
That I’m playin’ no game

If I don’t love you this way
Why do I say what I say, yeah
If I don’t need you this much
Why do I ache for your touch, yeah

*Forever Came Today

Jackson 5


There you were
Standing there reaching out for me
Something warm in your eyes
And touched my heart
And all the love I never knew
I found in you

Suddenly my world, my life
Was standing still
And you touched my hand
I knew that we had laid a plan
For everlasting love
I’ve been forever dreaming of

At last, at last
My forever came today
When you walked into my life
Made my lonely life a paradise
It came today
Forever came today

Ooh, look in my eyes
And see how much I want you
Feel my touch
And know how much I need you
I may be young
But I’m old enough to know
A good thing
I will never let it go
This moment grow into a lifetime
Make it last, make it last
Make it last forever
Make it last forever

Darling, ooh my darling
Make me yours
As I touch your face
Tell me love has led me
To this place, your warm embrace
Thanks to you
Thanks to you my search has ended
And now I’m the one to see
How gently love has shined on me
Everlasting love
I’m forever dreaming of

At last, at last
My forever came today
When you walked into my life
Made my lonely life a paradise
It came today
Forever came today

It came today
Forever came today
It came today
Forever came today

Ooh, you give me love
Ooh, you’re my precious little one
Girl, you give me so much sweetness
Ooh, you give my life completeness
Make it last more than just a day
Make it last more than just an hour
Make it last forever
Make it, make it last forever
Make it, make it last forever

My forever came today
Love to hear your music
Love to hear your song
Gotta hear your music
To hear your sweet song

I don’t wanna lose it, baby
I don’t wanna lose it

I believe
We can make it last forever
Oh, I believe, baby
We can make it last forever
Make it last, baby
Make it last forever
Make it last, baby
Make it last forever

Don’t you believe
That we can make it last forever
Oh why won’t you believe
We can make it last forever

*All I Do Is Think Of You

Jackson 5


I can’t wait to get to school each day
And wait for you to pass my way
(And bells start to ring)
And angels start to sing
Hey that’s the girl for you
So what are you gonna do
Hey little girl I love you so

All I do is think of you
Day and night that’s all I do
I can’t get you off my mind
Think about you all the time
All the time

Everytime I take the long way home
Just so that I can be alone
To think of how to say
You’re fine in every way
Hey I’m in love with you
Oh I love you babe
I think the world of you
Yes I do
Won’t you please, please be mine

All I do is think of you
Baby day and night that’s all I do
I can’t get you off my mind
Think about you all the time
All the time

Girl, you’re so doggone fine
And I love you
Think the world of you
Day and night that’s all I do
Can’t get you off my mind
I’ve been dreamin’ about you
Ooh baby
I keep thinking about you
All night long
Baby day and night that’s all I do

*Love Is The Thing You Need

Jackson 5


(Love is the thing you need)
I know a fortune teller
A very freaky fella
How ‘bout you like me tell you
(Love is the thing you need)
Let me say now
Need family position
Give me his brief description
For a nice disposition
(Love is the thing you need)

So when all your frustrations
Don’t receive no medication
How bad you feel, oh, it’s just unreal
You can’t get no satisfaction
When your mind is overacting
And you don’t give yourself the love you need

So get on up
And get down, down, down
With some good old funky, funky love
(Love is the thing you need)
Fellas!
(Love is the thing you need)
Hit it! Make you feel so good
Make your body shake like crazy
Give yourself a get and go
(Love is the thing you need)
’Til midnight hour

(Love is the thing you need)
(Love is the thing you need)
(Love is the thing you need)
Say it again
(Love is the thing you need)
(Love is the thing you need)
(Love is the thing you need)
When yourself is on the ground
(Love is the thing you need)

Oh love!
Some people they don’t know
That it’s the only way to go
If you wanna live a happy, happy life, yeah, yeah
There ain’t no doubt about it
We just can’t do without it, now again, now again
Sing it to me children

(Love is the thing you need)
One more time, yeah
(Love is the thing you need)
Once a day, twice a day, everyday
(Love is the thing you need)
What you’re saying now
Once day, twice a day, good God! Everyday
(Love is the thing you need)
You gotta gotta have love
You gotta gotta have love
You gotta gotta have love
Y’all know what I’m talking about
You gotta gotta have love
You gotta gotta have love
You gotta gotta have love
Don’t you stop!
Don’t you stop!

*Good Times

The Jacksons


I think about the good times
We shared together
Whenever I think of you

Something goes through my mind
Through my mind

My heart starts churning
I wanna see you again

I think about the good times
Nothing but the good times
I think about the good times
We shared together

Oh, like holding hands
Remember how we made our plans
We used to dream on a star
How did we get like we are

I think about the good times
Nothing but the good times
I think about the good times
We shared together

It's funny things don't always
Go the way you want them to
Although we're not together
I treasure my experience with you

Oh, like exploring love
Moonlit sky above
Learning how to give
Learning how we should live

(Good times)
Oh, the good times baby
I think about it
Good times
We shared together
Oh, good times
Ain’t nothing like the good times
The good times baby
I think about it
About the good times
We shared together
Together, together
I think about it

(Long as we live)
I remember, yes I remember
As long as we live
I’ll think about
(The good times, baby)
Yes, the good times
The real good times

(Holding hands)

And learn what's right and wrong
Someday we can tell our children
That all the wars are gone

Love, love, love
Have yourself a good, good time
But don't you know
It's getting late

If this world
Is gonna be our home
(We gotta believe)
Gotta make it strong
By living together

If this world
Is gonna be our home
We gotta make it strong
By living together

Have yourself a good, good time
But don't you know
It's getting late

(Have yourself a good, good time)
(Have yourself a good, good time)

Gotta make it strong together
Iit’s the only way to do it
Please, please, please

*Dreamer


I guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

A romantic fool, that's what I am
I think about you all day long
Morning it's impossible
For us to be together
Always not being, the love I can feel

I guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

I just can't wait 'til I go to sleep
I'll be with you all night long
Circumstances helps me
In a terrible fix
It's fantasy, I'd just like to share these moments
together

I guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

Nothing comes but straigh to a dreamer
And wake up and dream is gone away

I guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

I guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away....

*Music's taking over


Music is a teacher
That can teach you right from wrong
If you listen closely (well)
There's a lesson in the song
Music is a doctor
That can cure a troubled mind
Listen to the music (say it again)
The rhythms and the rhymes

(Cause) Music's takin' over
Music makes you dance
Music's takin'over
Just give music a chance (say it again)

Music is a comfort
When you're all alone
Just turn up your music
And you don't need nobody home
Music is a power
People depend on every day
They make their decisions
By the records that they play

(Cause) Music's takin' over
Music makes you dance
Music's takin'over
Just give music a chance (say it again)

Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance
Music is a sound
that makes the boys and girls get down

If you want me
I’ll be there in a flash

No delaying

Caught myself going girl shopping
And no matter what I do
I keep running back to you
Saying

Why I love you
In case you’d like to know
’Cause you’re a lady

*Even Though You're Gone

The Jacksons


(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone

Things don’t look as bad
As they did yesterday
Every minute I get stronger
Somehow, some way
’Cause I gotta keep on living
I got the will to survive
Even though I feel so bad
So bad inside

(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone

All the plans I had
I’ve got to give them up
And start anew
Making plans for one
Instead of making plans for two
From now on I’ll be thinking
Thinking ’bout myself
It’ll be a long, long time
Before I love somebody else

(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone

I depended on you
For everything
Oh, I really trusted you
How could you do me
The way you did
Oh, you really let me down, yeah

*Jump For Joy

The Jacksons


People have misunderstandings
Of what life is all about
They put values in the wrong things
And in happiness they lose out

’Cause being happy is a feeling
This is all a frame of mind
And every moment you feel sad and blue
You could be having a real good time

Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, you’ll fell better
And have the best time you ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had

Do it, do it, do it, do it

There is no sense in worrying
’Cause that won’t solve a thing
Chances are whatever’s worrying you
Is not as bad as it seems

Being down won’t last forever
’Cause nothing stays the same
You will have a bright tomorrow
There’s always sunshine after rain

Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I know you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I know you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had

You just got to, you just got to
Come on, yeah, come on, yeah, yeah
Why don’t, why don’t

Why don’t you jump for joy
Why don’t you jump for joy, yeah, come on
Why don’t, why don’t
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you’ve ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy
Come on
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you’ve ever had

*Heaven Knows I Love You, Girl

The Jacksons


Heaven knows I love you, girl
I’ve never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more and more

People always stare at us
When we’re together
’Cause we laugh and joke
And always have a ball
We’re friends
And that makes us so much better
We respect each other too
I was lucky the day that I found you

Heaven knows I love you, girl
I’ve never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more and more

I’ve found a little place for us
To go and be alone
Let’s fix it up the way we want
And call it home sweet home
Our love is priceless
It’s so, so rare
We believe in the same things too
I was lucky the day that I found you

Heaven knows I love you, girl
I’ve never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more and more

Precious is a love
That’s based on truth
No words could ever describe
The way I feel about you
You know, when two hearts beat as one
When two minds think as one
They can overcome any obstacle
And always stay together

(Heaven knows I love you, girl)
(Heaven knows I love you, girl)
I love you, I love you
Never felt this way
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, I love you girl

*Man of war


(Singalong)

I
You think your way
Is the best way of all
You don't know everything
So you don't know it all
You got to respect the man
For the way that he feels
You can't make people do
Things against their will

(Repeat Singalong)

Man of War
Don't go to war no more
Why don't you
Why don't you study peace
Man of War
Don't go to war no more
Study peace
'Cause peace is what we need

II

Just because your army
Gives you strength and might
Truth gonna win...wrong will
Never conquer right
Every man has the right to
Think and be free
You're like a spoiled brat
You want everything you see

You think your bombs, guns, and planes
Make you a big man

When you invade
Another man's land
Tryin' to make him be
What you want him to be
Trying' to make him do
What you want him to do
Tryin' to make him say
What you want him to say
I know there's got to
Be a better way

(Repeat I)

You think your way
Is the best way of all
You don't know everything
So you don't know it all
You got to respect the man
For the way that he feels
You can't make people do things
Against their will

(Repeat Singalong)

Man of war
Don't go to war no more
Why don't you
Why don't you study peace
Man of war
Don't go to war no more
Study peace
'Cause peace is what we need

*Do What You Wanna

The Jacksons


Do what you wanna
And do it
I got to convince you
You gotta stick to it

Keep on striving
Towards your goals
If it’s right
Don’t let it go
Live your life
You wanna live
Don’t be phony
Just be for real
People
Be yourself
Don’t be nobody
(Nobody else)

Do what you wanna
And do it
I got to convince you
You gotta stick to it

Don’t let nobody
Fool you around
Trying to turn your life
Upside down
Just be strong in your field
And when you reach the top
Happily you will live
People
Be yourself
Don’t be nobody
(Nobody else)

(Do what you wanna)
Come on
Do what you want, people
(And do it)
(I got to convince you)
Got to convince you
(Stick to it)
Stick to it
Oh, stick to it

(Do what you wanna)
Do what you want
(And do it)
(I got to convince you)
I got to convince you, babe
(Stick to it)
Stick to it

(Do what you wanna)
Do what you want
(And do it)
All you got to do
(I got to convince you)
(Stick to it)

Destiny
*Blame it on the boogie


Hee, hee, hee... Hee
My baby's always dancing
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
But I don't get no loving
And that's no lie
We spend the night in frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed
Our love goodbye.
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
That nasty boogie bugs me
But somehow it has drugged me
Spellbound rhythm gets me
On my feet
I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightning leave me
My baby just can't take
Her eyes off me
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't you blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie, ooh
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet...
I just can't
I just can't (yeah)
I just can't control my feet...
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet...
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet...
Sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't, on good times
Blame it on the boogie
This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhythm moves me
The devil's gotten to me
Through this dance
I'm full of funky fever
A fire burns inside me
Boogie's got me in a
Super trance
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't you blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie (aw)
Sunshine (ooh)
Moonlight (yeah)
Good times (uhm)
Boogie
You just got to...
Sunshine (yeah)
Moonlight
Good times (good times)
Boogie
Don't you blame it (sunshine)
You just got to (moonlight)
You just want to (good times)
Yeah... Oh (boogie)
Blame it on yourself (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (good times)
All, all night long (boogie)
Yours and that boogie (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (good times)
Dancing all night long (boogie)
Blame it on yourself (sunshine)
Ain't nobody's fault (moonlight)
But yours and that boogie, boogie, boogie,
boogie

*Push me away


Live and sigh, crying eyes
Your touch, your heart
Your warmth, lullaby
Live to dream, don't it seem
The tears,the pain
Reality
Don't you know
These dreams, I wish could be
The real you and me
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away
Darken days, go away
The nights are bright
Dream and stay
As I dream loving you
Your touch, your heart, your warmth,
Please come true
Don't you know
These dreams I wish could be
The real you and me
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away... Uhm
Don't you know
These dreams, I wish could be
The real you and me
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away
I come running back to you
You push me away, me away, yeah
Don't you know...
You push me away...

*Things I do for you


People all over the world
Are the same everywhere I go
I give in to this, I give in to that
Everyday in bothers me so
Am I in a bad situation
People take me to the extreme
Am I being used, I just need a clue
I don't know which way to go
So I took my problems to a doctor
He could check it out (he don't know)
Took it to a palm reader,
She could read my hand (she don't know)
Five minutes later, I started to understand
And I start screaming, and shouting,
And acting mad
No one could help me but myself
But I gave everything
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me
Always wanting something for nothing
Especially what they don't deserve
Reaching in my pocket
I just go to stop it
Though they got a lot of nerve
Am I in a bad situation
People take me to the extreme
They don't use rejection
So I need protection
To keep my equity
So I took my problems to a doctor
He could check it out (he don't know)
Took it to a palm reader
She could read my hand (she don't know)
Five minutes later, I started to understand
And I start screaming, and shouting,
And acting mad
No one could help me but myself
And I gave everything I had
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me
(shake it over)
Hee, hee, hee
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me

*Destiny


In this world there's much confusion
And I've tasted the city life and it's not for me
Now I do dream of distant places
Where I don't know now, but it's destiny
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
I want destiny (destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah, yeah
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be me. Come on, let feel free
Now I'm a man that's for all seasons
And what the city offers me
Ain't naturally (ain't naturally)
I look to greet the stars
But there's no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my destiny
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
I want destiny (destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be me, come on, let feel free
Let me be me
I wanna get far from here
Should I up and fly away so fancy free, yeah
Nobody can change my mind
The words of destiny are calling me while time
I want destiny (destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah
Ah, destiny (destiny)
You and me
Should I fly away, so fancy free
Ah, destiny (destiny)
You and me, so fancy free
Destiny.
Ooh, destiny (ooh)

*Bless His Soul

The Jacksons


I try to do what's right for me
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go

Something's soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
Gotta start doing what's right for you
’Cause life is being happy yourself

Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you
I'd change my mind
Start living for me
In these changing times

Sometimes I cry ’cause I'm confused
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
’Cause I give myself at beck and call

Something's soon to come over you
Just can't please the world and yourself
Gotta start doing what's right for you
Life is being happy yourself

Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you
I'd change my mind
Start living for me
In these changing times

The life you're leading is dangerous
It's so dangerous, dangerous all
You're leading is dangerous
Doggone dange, da-dange, dangerous

Something's soon to come over you
Just can't please the world and yourself
Gotta start doing what's right for you
Life is being happy yourself

Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you've pleased none

*All Night Dancin'

The Jacksons


(1, 2, 3)

I don't like it, baby
When you're stopping me on the floor
’Cause the more I keep on dancing
The more I keep wanting some more

I don't care what you're saying
You're talking in my ear much to loud
And the music's taking my body
On a trip from nine to five

Keep me dancing
(All night)
Wanna keep me groovin’
(All night)
Rockin’ and rollin’
(All night)
Ain’t nobody’s business
(All night)

I’m gonna dance up fire
I’m calling engine number 109
There ain’t no chains to hold me
Gonna burn this place down till five

And you can't stop this fever
'Cause my temperature’s burning hot, hot
All I wanna do is dance, dance
Sweating from my face to my feet

Keep me dancing

Gotta keep me movin’

*That’s What You Get (For Being Polite)

The Jacksons


Jack still cries day and night
Jack's not happy with his life
He wanna do this
He wanna do that
He wanna be kind
But ends up flat
For love, for love

He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
Love's not harsh
Love's not bad
And what he's doing
For love is so sad
(He wants to be so bad)
(He wants to be so bad)

All the time getting in
Things he can't get out
Something’s deep inside of him
Eating up the pride of him
That makes him buy
Things for the girls

(That's what you get)
(For being polite)
(For being polite)

Jack still sits all alone
He lives the world that is his own
He's lost in thoughts of who to be
I wish to God that he would see
Just love
Give him love

He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
Love's not harsh
Love's not bad
And what he's doing
For love is so sad
(He wants to be so bad)
(He wants to be so bad)

All the time getting in
Things he can't get out
Something’s deep inside of him
Eating up the pride of him
That makes him buy
Things for the girls

(That's what you get)
(For being polite)
(For being polite)

Jack’s still trying to make you happy
But
Jack’s still trying to make you happy
But
Jack’s sill trying to make you happy
But it's love
But it’s love

Jack’s still trying to make
Don’t you know he cries

His often though was for love
His funk is love
Don’t you know he often cries about you
He cries about me

(You)
And me

And every little thing that’s in his way
He cries about me
He cries about you
(You)
And me
(Me)

(Jack’s still)
Don’t you know he cries

His often thought was for love
Yeah, yeah
Don’t you know, don’t you know
Don’t you know, don’t you know
Don’t you know, don’t you know

He cries because there is a lack of love
Don’t you know he often
Don’t you know
Don’t you know, yeah
Don’t you know, yeah
He often cries because there is no love

Feel it in the air, the wind is taking it everywhere,

*Lovely one


Ooh
Why don't you believe me when I say that I love you?
I'm crazy 'bout you
You wear the face that tells me you think my loving ain't true
I'm all about you
You're my desire
I get higher every time I speak your name
All I do ( that's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I do )
And the way that I can't sleep at night just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love, when it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
Why don't you believe me when I say that I am true?
I'm crazy 'bout you
I'm here to love and please you, I'll do what you want me to
I'm all about you
Living and hoping, but I'm coping with these things you put me through
All I do ( that's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I do )
The way that I can't sleep at night just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love, when I'ts giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane.
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
You are my, you are my, you are my lovely one
[ singalong ]

*Your ways


You can't say that I don't love ya
Nights cryin' thinkin' of ya
I don't understand your ways
They say true love is forever gladness
All that I feel is sadness
I don't understand your ways
You keep me walin' my way back to you
You say you love me then leave me so blue
You break my heart, then you say that we're through
But it's o.k.
I don't understand your ways
What have I done to deserve this madness
All that I feel is sadness
I don't understand your ways. Hee, hee, hee
You keep me walkin' my way back to you
You say you love me and let's start anew
You break my heart, then say that we're through
No more believin'
In every word you say
Persuasion deceiving
But I'm wise in every way
And I know 'bout your playn'
With every guy in town
So this time I'm sayin'
You won't fool me around
Then you get me walkin' my way back to you
You say you love me then leave me so blue
You break my heart, then you say that we're through
But it's o.k.
You're no good
I don't understand your ways
One more fool just to love and groove ya
That's all that he want to do to ya
I don't understand your ways

*Everybody


Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor (get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more (make me want some more)
I've had my days of standing on shaky grounds
I want my life so fancy-free
I know that I can do it
I have to let me be
And I've had enough
And I know what's right for me
I've done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let's dance and shout
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor (get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more (make me want some more)
Listen
This time I'm leaving all my cares behind
I've tasted the good life and it's fine
No more to pain and strife
This life's waiting to be
And I've had enough
And I know what's right for me
I've done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let's dance and shout
'Cause we're here to live so free
I've got to let me be, oh
Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor (get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more, babe (make me want some more)
Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor (get down on the floor)
'Cause I love the way you move
Shake your thing
Make me want some more, babe (make me want some more)
Oh... Hey
I've done my time and I have paid the price
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
Forget your worries
And let's dance and shout
'Cause we're here to live so free
I've got to let me be, oh
Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor (get down on the floor)
I love the way you shake your thing
Make me want more, babe (make me want some more)
Hee, hee, hee
Oh, everybody
Get down on the floor (get down on the floor)
I love the way you move
The way you groove
Make me want some more, babe (make me want some more)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Make me want some more, babe (make me want some more)
Oh, everybody
I'm gonna get down on the floor (get down on the floor)
I love the way you groove
The way you more
You make me want some more (make me want some more)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Get down, get down, get down
Make me want some more, babe (make me want some more)

*This place hotel
(Heartbreak Hotel)


Live and sin, ten years ago on this day
My heart was yearning
I promised I would never be returning
Where my baby broke my heart
And left me yearning
As we walked into the room
There were faces starring,
Glaring, tearing through me
Someone said welcome to your doom
Then they smiled with eyes, that looked
as if they knew me. This is scaring me!

We walked up the stairs
Still concealing gloom
There were two girls sitting in my room
She walked up to my face
And said this is the place,
You said meet you right here at noon

Chorus:
This is Heartbreak hotel
Welcome to Heartbreak hotel

Hope is dead. She thought that
I had cheated for another lover
I turn my back to see
that I’m undercover
Now I can’t convince this girl
there ain’t no other
Someone’s evil to hurt my soul
Every smile’s a trial thought in beguile to hurt me
Then the man next door had told
He’s been here in tears for fifteen years
This is scaring me!

Bridge:
We came to this place, where the vicious dwell
And found that wicked women
Run this strange hotel
There was Sefra and Sue,
Every girl that I knew
And my baby said love is through

Refrain

*Time waits for no one


Lonely, in my darkened room
Sad and weary, persevering for love (for love)
Sad and weary, persevering
And I hope that she is thinkin' to come back to me
Is is possible she's thinkin' of me at all?
Have I gone too far?
If only, I had shown her love
She'd be with me, deep inside me, my love (my love)
She'd be with me, deep inside me
And I hope that she is thinkin' to come back to me
And I pray that faith can bearWalk right now


Here, when all my work is done
She calls and she says,
Dear, can I come?
I said to her, that you know our love has gone, yeah, yeah
But aggressive heart, you're really not the one
She comes to the door
Crying at my feet
Guilt shines in her eyes
As she slowly sinks in deep
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep
I sigh
'Cause I thought this would never be, yeah
I say ooh (ooh) I'm screamin' out for someone
And now she's knockin' on the door for me
She just won't leave me alone
She wants to speak with me (speak with me )
And persuade me in her arms
And now she's calling on the phone for me
Just won't leave me alone
Deep down inside she's trying to be clever
To love once more then leave me forever
I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back back, you ain't stayin'
I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, what you're doin' to me
Love elsewhere, what you're doin' to me
Don't look back, ooh
I try so hard to cope with you
I can't bear with the things you put me through
To love as friends, I wish that we could see
But persuasive heart, you just won't let
Pure friendship be, yeah, yeah
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persude your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, what you're doin' to me
I don't care, what you're doin' to me
Walk right now, what you're doin' to me
Love elsewhere, what you're doin' to me
Don't look back ( ooh )
Hee, hee, hee... Yeah
I don't care
Walk right now
Love elsewhere
Don't look back
I don't care
Walk right now
Love elsewhere
Don't look back

*Give it up


I don't know what you do to me
But this feeling is here to be
I hope it's love and one day we'll see the moon
Take my hand and we'll fly away
A love so new till the dying day
A life so true all you have to say is you will
You've got to believe in something
You've got to belive in
Give it up
Give it up
My love is true now
Say me and you now
Give it up
Give it up
Just say the word
And I'm screaming out your name
So make it true, to make it us
Just give me half a chance
I need your love
Hope it's me you're thinkin' of
A love to give, I can't live
Just give me half the chance
I don't know what you do to me
But this feeling is here to be
Just say that you'll be giving me
Your love
All you got to do is
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up
You got to believe in something
You got to believe in
Give it up
Give it up
My love is true now
Say me and you now
Give it up
Give it up
Just say the word
And I'm screaming out your name
So make it true, to make it us
Just give me half a chance
I need your love
Hope it's me you're thinkin' of
A love to give, I can't live
Just give me half the chance
I don't know what you do to me
But this feeling is here to be
Just say that you'll be giving me
Your love
All you got to do is
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up, ooh
Give it up, give it up

*Wondering Who

The Jacksons


I’ve got you wondering who
Look what you put me through
No more planning to start anew
I’ve got you wondering who

I come to you to love you once again
But you never were around
How can you say that we were more than friends
When there’s no love to be found
’Cause in my mind
I knew that you weren’t true
From time to time
Look what you put me through

I thought that you and I had seen the light
During the first time we met
Seem to be a sudden change in life
Is there a need for someone else
’Cause in my mind
I knew that you weren’t true
From time to time
Look what you put me through

Welcome to the night
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Stayed up all night
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)
Welcome to the night
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Stayed up all night
(Baby, you’ve got to go)

I’ve got you wondering who
Look what you put me through
No more planning to start anew
I’ve got you wondering who

I went along
Thought it would be alright
Maybe it happened all too fast
Lots of torrid danger hampered me
Left me crying all the time

’Cause in my mind
I knew that you weren’t true
From time to time
Look what you put me through

Welcome to the night
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Stayed up all night
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)
Welcome to the night
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Stayed up all night
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)

(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Love is gone
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)
Love is gone
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Love is gone
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Love is gone
(Stop holding on, ’cause love is gone)
Love is gone
(Stop holding on, start being strong)
Love is gone
(Baby, you’ve got to go)

This suffering inside, 'till she arrives
And I hope that she is thinkin' to come back to me
And I'm scared there's someone sleepin'
By her side
I can't hide, all the pain deep inside
Is this love?
Time waits for no one (8x)
