Intro / I Want You Back lyrics - Jackson 5
(from "Goin' Back To Indiana" soundtrack)
This is your roving reporter Scoop Newsworthy standing in front of the actual rehearsal hall where the Jackson 5 are preparing for their Indiana concert
We wish we could take you inside but nobody's allowed in while they're rehearsing, you see
So, wait- hi
How're you' doing?
Scoop Newsworthy
Yeah
Yeah.
What's—uh. What's goin' on?
Uh, Jackson 5's rehearsing in there, but you can't go in
J-J5?
J5, J5. But you can't go in. You're gonna be thrown right out
Even if we wanted to go in there, we couldn't because the security is so tight, that any unauthorised individual going through that door will be forcibly ejected. You see
Folks, I'm sorry, but you can't go in there, kiddies, 'cause the sign says "No admittance"
This is Scoop Newsworthy - I'll get 'em
Uh-huh huh uh uh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
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)
Ooh, ooh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
Tryin' to live without your love is just one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on I leave tear stains on the ground, yeah
Following the girl I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
Oh, darlin', 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, uh-huh
A buh buh buh buh
A buh buh buh buh, all I want
A buh buh buh buh, all I need
A buh buh buh buh, all I want
A buh buh buh buh, all I need
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby! Baby!
Baby! Baby!
Baby! Baby!
I want you back
Forget what happened then
I want you back
And let me live again
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
I want you back
Spare me of this 'cause
And give back what I lost
Oh baby I need one more chance, ha
I'll show ya that I love you
(Baby!) Oh! (Yeah baby!) Oh! (Yeah baby!) Oh!
I want you back!
Ha, I want you back!
I want you back!
Maybe Tomorrow (Live) lyrics - Jackson 5
(from "Goin' Back To Indiana" soundtrack)
As you can see, the door here says, uh
"Sir, you can't go in, there's nobody admitted in there. You can't-"
These people are breaking the rules here
And I myself am personally going to eject the next unauthorised person coming and trying to get through this door
Now, that's all there is to it
Are you goin' in for the Jackson 5 rehearsal? Right in there, sir, help yourself. Have a good time!
I am, uh, Scoop Newsworthy, I'd like to talk to somebody here
That's all, America - but Scoop will scoop
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
(Aah, ah, ah)
My beautiful bird, you have flown away
I held you too tight, I can see
Baby, you're all I need to get by
No else can make me cry
The way you do, baby
'Cause 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'll come
Oh, you are the book that I read each day (Sing it, sing it, sing it, yeah)
You are the song that I sing (Sing it, sing it, sing it, yeah)
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
You are the book that I read each day, yeah
You are the song that I sing, oh baby (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
(Oh) oh (Baby) baby I need you (Listen to me girl, yeah yeah yeah)
You are the song that I sing, I'm gonna sing it (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
Sing it!
The Day Basketball Was Saved lyrics - Jackson 5
(from "Goin' Back To Indiana" soundtrack)
Rosey, how are you?
Jackie. Hey, man. That's really out of sight
Well, thanks, Rosey. Wow, you sure are big
Well, you know, being big get me into a lot of doors
Man, you're big enough to be an athlete. So, you ever play any sports?
Just a little figure skating
Why don't you come up to the house and play some basketball with us some time
Oh, I'll see if I can round up a few figure skaters
You better bring your best man 'cause me and my brothers are gonna put you away
Beat us? You little guys?
Right
In your wildest dream, you ain't never seen a team like I got...like I got...like I got
Peanuts! Popcorn! Peanuts! Popcorn!
The sporting world's had many teams
The fans have called first rate
They had the Yankees in the '40s
All agreed were really great
Packers and Celtics piled up records hard to beat
But good as they all seem to be
They tasted of defeat
No team has ever won 'em all and always stayed on top
Except that group of superstars no team could ever stop
A bunch of splendid athletes who all stood strong and tall
They called themselves the Dream Team
And their game was basketball
The center, a massive collection of bones
Was known by the nickname of Skyscraper Jones
The forwards were both brilliant ball handlers, too
Named Kangaroo Carson and Dead-Eye McGoo
The guards were two giants who played with great cool
Called Bulldozer Benson and Hookshot O'Toole
Together they moved like a well-oiled machine
And ran up such scores it was almost obscene
The team is unbeatable, everyone said
And if no one can beat them, then basketball's dead
Basketball's dead, yes, basketball's dead
No team will beat them, so no team can meet them
The...it's...dead
But wait, folks! (Huh, it's not?)
From out of Indiana like bees from a hive
Came a little known team called the Jackson 5
They came with a mission impossibly tough
To whip the Dream Team 'til they holler "Enough"
We'll razzle your frazzle, we'll muzzle you guys
We'll dazzle each one of you right down to size
We'll shiver your timbers 'til all of you fall
The Jacksons will beat you and save basketball
A laugh roars up on the Dream Team's side
And they laughed so hard that they nearly cried
Go home, little boys, get off the court
It's a big man's game, you're much too short
Too short, my foot, that's just your way
Of saying you're afraid to play
Afraid to play? Hear that squirt?
Go home before you all get hurt
We'd like to get just one thing straight
We heard you guys was really great
But so far all we've heard is talk
Are you gonna play or are you gonna walk?"
With that the Dream Team got real mad
And they blew what little cool they had
This time you guys, you've gone too far
We'll show you all how good we are
We'll play you now but we're so sore
We may not even let you score
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? We've heard it all
Let's cut the talk and et's play ball
So the teams lined up and the ball was tossed
And the game got underway
And the Dream Team knew from the very first tap
That the Jacksons knew how to play
They dribbled, they passed, they faked, they shot
They hustled, they drove right on through
And every time that the Dream Team scored
Well, the Jackson 5 scored, too
When the buzzer went off at the end of the half
The Dream Team wanted to hide
They couldn't believe it was happening
But the score was really tied
We've gotta stop those guys
We've gotta stop 'em quick
We've gotta realize
They're looking mighty slick
We've gotta start our drive
Or think of some good trick
To stop the Jackson 5, they're making us look sick!
(Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!)
Hey, I've got a way
Let's fill them up with peanuts and popcorn
And then see how they play
Hey, Mr Vendor, listen to me
Those Jacksons could use some energy
So pass out your tray and let them grab
We're such good sports we'll pick up the tab
We've got a great attack
We've got them on the run
If we can hold them back
Then we'll be number one
We have the final lap
The jump will be reversed
Just play the second half
The way we played the first. Yeah!
Jackie, come and check the score
I'll be right back, guys; don't leave the floor
Peanuts! Popcorn! Have a ball!
Free of charge, kids. Take it all
Free of charge? Is that for real?
Free of charge! That's some good deal!
Maybe we shouldn't! Maybe we should!
It may be bad! And it may be good!
What if Jackie finds out? Who's going to tell?
Then, I guess we might as well!
So the Jacksons ate 'til all the food was gone
While the cheerleaders cheered the two teams on
Re-bop, re-bop, hootie-rootie zackie
Come on, Dream Team, let's stop Jackie
Michael, Marlon, Tito, and Jermaine
We've got the brawn, we've got the brains
Dream Team! Dream Team!
Fly high, fly high, fly high
One, two, three, ABC, Do-Re-Mi, man alive!
Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho! Go go go! Jackson 5!
The whistle blew for the second half
The excitement filled the place
You could tell both teams were all charged up
As they stood there face to face
They dribbled, they passed, they faked, they shot
They moved with dazzling speed
But the two teams seemed so evenly matched
Neither one could hold the lead
With 15 seconds left in the game
The Dream team led by one
They knew if they could freeze the ball
The Jacksons would be done
Just then the four young Jackson boys
Began to moan and groan
They dropped to the ground with bellyaches
Leaving Jackie standing alone
Too much popcorn! Too many peanuts!
We had too much junk!"
We're sorry, Jackie, we let you down!
It looks like the Jacksons are sunk!
The ref called time to remove the boys
"The game's over!" he said. "You're through!"
But Jackie said, "Ref, I'll play myself
If that's what I have to do."
So the ref gave Jackie the ball and said:
"There's time for one more play."
And Jackie said, "Well, that's all I need
I know I'll find a way."
Jackie took the ball and started out
Way at the end of the court
But he still had to get past five of the best
Who ever played the sport
As the clock kept ticking the seconds away
No mistake could he afford
But he went all the way with a brilliant display
And as the buzzer went off, he scored!
All the fans in the stands went wild
When Jackie won the game
And the Dream Team said he played so well
He belonged in the Hall of Fame
So the Jackson 5 ended up on top
And we thank them one and all
For not only did they beat the best
They also saved the game of basketball
Stand! (Live) lyrics - Jackson 5
(from "Goin' Back To Indiana" soundtrack)
Oom bah, bah bah
Oom bah, bah bah (Bah)
Stand, stand, stand
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
Stand! For the things you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them uptight
Stand! All the things you want are real
It's just you to complete and there is no deal
Yeah yeah yeah
Oom bah, bah bah
Oom bah, bah bah (Bah)
Stand, stand
Huh! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya (Come on!)
Huh! Ha! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Feelin' Alright (Live) lyrics - Jackson 5
(from "Goin' Back To Indiana" soundtrack)
How ya feelin' out there?
We'd like to do a song that's called 'Feelin' Alright'
So how ya feelin'?
How ya feelin'?
Alright
Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here all alone or so it seems
Oh, I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone locked the door and she took the keya
Feeling alright (Come on, clap your hands, come on, everybody)
Not feeling too good myself (Ha!)
Feeling alright (Yeah)
Not feeling too good myself
Twee-tweedly-dee-dee, tweedly-dee-dee
Dee-tweedly-dee-dee, tweedly-dee-dee
Twee-tweedly-dee-dee, tweedly-dee-dee
Twee-tweedly-dee-dee (Oh yeah)
Feeling alright, alright, alright (You've got to go)
Not feeling too good myself (Ooh, ooh, oh yeah)
Feeling alright, alright, alright
Not feeling too good myself (Ha)
Feeling alright, alright, alright
Not feeling too good myself
Feeling alright, alright, alright (Got to go)
Not feeling too good myself
Twee-tweedly-dee-dee, tweedly-dee-dee
Twee-tweedly-dee-dee, tweedly-dee-dee
Twee-tweedly-dee-dee, tweedly-dee-dee
Twee-tweedly-dee-dee (Oh yeah)

Medley: Walk On / The Love You Save lyrics - Jackson 5
(from "Goin' Back To Indiana" soundtrack)
[Walk On]
Walk on!
Walk on!
Walk on!
Walk on!
[The Love You Save]
Stop! Na na na! You'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it, oh!
(Doo-doo, doo-doo-do-doo do-do do-do)
Oh
(Doo-doo doo-doo do-doo do-do)
Oh yeah
(Doo-doo doo-doo do-doo do-do doo-do-do-do)
When we played tag in grade school (Woo)
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 (Woo)
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back in grade school
You're doing that same old thing
Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday you'll be all alone
You'd better stop! The love you save may be your own
Headed for a danger zone
I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
They'll ruin your reputation
They'll label you a flirt
The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt
Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benji held your hand he felt
Electricity
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your time
Stop! The love you save may be your own
Darling, take it slow
Or someday you'll be all alone
You'd better, uh-huh (Stop! The love you save may be your own)
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone
Slow down
Everybody!
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"
O is for "Oh, no!"
P is for "Please, please, don't go!"
The love you save may be your own
Someday you may be all alone
Stop it (Oh oh)
Baby! Ooh
You'd better stop! The love you save may be your own
Please, please
Or some day, some day baby, you'll be all alone
I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one you need
Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed
Oh
Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Some day baby you'll be all alone
Stop!

Who's Lovin' You (Live) lyrics - Jackson 5
(from "Goin' Back To Indiana" soundtrack)
Michael talking to audience
I'd like to talk to y'all tonight
About the blues

Don't nobody have the blues like I have
I may be young but I know what it's all about
And this is how it went down
I met a girl at school one day
During in the sandbox
Sandbox?!
We toasted our love during milk break
Aw, man

Come on, Mike!
We fell out during singing plan
So one day, I stepped up to her and I said
When I had you (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 hanging down
And I wonder who's loving you

Ever made you cry

All my life, all my life baby yeah I've been lost to you only
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
And don't you ever wonder or worry your head of what I do
Don't you know I sit around
With my head hanging down
And I wonder who's loving you

Ever made you cry
