Jackson 5 Lyrics

I'll Be There lyrics - Jackson 5

You and I must make a pact

We must bring salvation back

Where there is love, I'll be there (I'll be there)

I'll reach out my hand to you

I'll have faith in all you do

Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)

And oh, I'll be there to comfort you

Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you

I'll be there with a love that's strong

I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on

(Holding on, holding on, holding on) Yes, I will. Yes, I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter

Togetherness, girl, is all I'm after

Whenever you need me, I'll be there (I'll be there)

I'll be there to protect you (Yeah, baby)

With an unselfish love that respects you

Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)

And oh, I'll be there to comfort you

Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you

I'll be there with a love that's strong

I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on

Hoo-hoo (Holding on, holding on, holding on) Yes, I will. Yes, I will

If you should ever find someone new

I know he better be good to you

'Cause if he doesn't, I'll be there (I'll be there)

Don't you know, baby, yeah, yeah

I'll be there, I'll be there

Just call my name (I'll be there), I'll be there

Just look over your shoulders, honey! Ooh

I'll be there, I'll be there

Whenever you need me (I'll be there), I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah, yeah

I'll be there, I'll be there

Just call my name (I'll be there), I'll be there

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'll be there, I'll be there

Oh How Happy lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by The Shades of Blue)

Oh how happy you have made me

I have kissed your lips a thousand times

And more times than I can count

I have called you mine

You have stood by me in my darkest hour, see

Oh how happy you have made me

In our years together

We had stormy weather

But our love has been so strong

But somehow we carry on, seeing

Oh how happy you have made me

You brought joy to my empty life, yeah

And all that's wrong, you made it right

My love (my love), I love (my love)

I love, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh how happy you have made me

Oh how happy (Oh how happy)

Oh how happy you have made me

(You have made me) You have made

(Oh how happy) You have made me

(Girl, you make me happy...)

Bridge Over The Troubled Water lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by Simon & Garfunkel)

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)

Sail on silver, girl

Sail on by

Your time has come to shine

All your dreams along the way, yeah

See how they shine

Oh, if you need a friend

I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

(I will ease your mind)

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

(Like a bridge over troubled water)

I will be by your side

Can I See You In The Morning lyrics - Jackson 5

Can I see you (Can I see you)

In the morning (In the morning)

Can I see you (Can I see you)

In the morning (In the morning)

Can I see you in the morning

Like I see you late tonight

Come and hold me

Come and make me feel alright

In the morning

Can I see you in the morning?

Can I see you in the morning

Must I get down on my knees?

Come and take me

Do with me just what you please

Just a short walk in the sunshine

In the open side by side (In the morning)

Chance to hold you

Chance to hold my head up high

In the morning

They say you're too old for me

But I know you said that you'll wait for me, wait for me, oh

Can I, see you, in the morning sun, shining bright?

I wanna see you

Can I, see you, in the morning sun, shining bright? (In the morning)

Can I see you?

(Can I see you) In the morning

Can I see you (Can I see you)

In the morning (In the morning)

Can I see you (Can I see you)

In the morning (In the morning)

Can I see you (Can I see you)

In the morning (In the morning)

Can I see you (In the morning)

Goin' Back To Indiana lyrics - Jackson 5

I'm going back to Indiana

Back to where I started from

Going back to Indiana

Indiana, here I come!

I spread my wings for greener pastures

I still ain't found what I was after

I've got the blues and that is why I sing

I just wanna do my thing, yeah!

I'm going back to Indiana

I saw a lot of movie stars with diamond rings

But I ain't got my baby and I'm feeling wrong

That's why I gotta sing my song, yeah

I'm going back to Indiana

Indiana, here I come

I'm going back to Indiana

'Cause that is where my baby's from

Mama's Pearl lyrics - Jackson 5

You send cold chills up and down my spine

We kiss for thrills, then you draw the line

Oh baby (Oh baby)

'Cause your mama told you that love ain't right

But don't you know good loving is the spice of life

Yeah

Mama's pearl, let down those curls

Won't you give my love a whirl

Find what you been missing

(What you been missing) Ooh ooh, now baby

Goody girl, let down those curls

Let me give your heart a twirl

Don't keep me wishing

(Don't keep me wishing)

(Bum, bum, bum, bum)

You want my loving yes you do, do, do

You know my loving is true, true, true

Now, baby

But your conscience tells you that love is wrong

But just a little loving never hurt no one

Mama's pearl, let down those curls

Won't you give my love a whirl

Find what you been missing

(What you been missing) Ooh ooh, now baby

Goody girl, let down those curls

Let me give your heart a twirl

Don't keep me wishing

(Here is what to do, let yourself go)

Let yourself just oh now, now no

Let your loving go now, now

Just give it to me

('Cause I got what you need)

Let's fall in love, let's fall in love

Reach In lyrics - Jackson 5

Can't find no rhyme to it all

But still we keep on trying

The why and where of it all

Inside you the answer is lying

Reach in (reach in)

Find that tree of wisdom

Reach in (reach in)

Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)

Pull away that shade of sin

And let love shine in...

Shine, shine, shine, shine...

Don't take the easy way out

Believe there is a Maker

Don't be a body of doubt

In whom does live a faker

Reach in (reach in)

Find that tree of wisdom

Reach in (reach in)

Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)

Pull away that shade of sin

And let love shine in...

A soul without love

Is a soul without meaning

And the Lord up above

He'll destroy every being

Reach in...ooh, reach in...ooh yeah, tell 'em, baby

Reach in (reach in)

Find that tree of wisdom

Reach in (reach in)

Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)

Reach in, oh oh, why don't you, why don't you, why don't you

Why don't you reach in, into your soul, oh

Reach in (reach in)

Find the tree of wisdom

Reach in (reach in)

Find out why you're livin'

Reach in, reach in, yeah

Come on, girl, now

Reach in, ooh, ooh

Reach in (reach in)

Find the tree of wisdom

Reach in (reach in)

Find out why you're livin'

Reach in (reach in)

Reach in...

The Love I Saw In You Was Just A Mirage lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by Smokey Robinson)

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 lyrics - 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 "will"s and "won't"s

So lend an ear, darlin' dear

(Sweet darlin' 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

(Darlin' 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 "Darlin', I'm so glad I found you"

Then your lips unwind, a simple touch wouldn't mind

A kiss will stay, darlin' dear

(Sweet darlin')

Darlin', darlin' dear, yeah

(Sweet darlin' dear)

Darlin' dear

(Sweet darlin' dear)

Darlin' dear

The Love You Save lyrics - Jackson 5

Stop! Na, na, na! You'd better save it

Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it

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

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

Darling, look both ways before you cross me

You're 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 chime

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 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

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

Some day, you may be all alone

Stop it

Save it, girl

Baby! Ooh

You'd better stop! The love you save may be your own

Please, please

Or someday, someday, 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

Stop! The love you save may be your own, baby

You'd better stop it, stop it, stop it, girl

Or someday, you'll be all alone

The way they talk about you

They'll turn your name, turn your name to dirt

Stop! The love you save may be your own!

Don't you know? Don't you know?

Someday, baby, you'll be all alone

Wait a while

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

One More Chance lyrics - Jackson 5

Mm, hmm, yeah, yeah

Yeah

Everybody loves the star

When he's on the top

But no-one 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 (Since I'm all alone)

I'm talking to myself (Talking to myself)

I know you're out there somewhere

Having fun with someone else (Fun)

But a distant voice of hope

Echo from within, saying

(Don't give up)

(Your ship is coming in)

Though my chips are low

I'll play right to the end

I'm crying outside 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

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

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

ABC lyrics - Jackson 5

A buh-buh buh buh

You went to school to learn, girl

Things you never, never knew before

Like "I before E, except after C"

And why two plus two makes four

Now, now, now, I'm gonna teach you (Teach you, teach you)

All about love, yeah! (All about love!)

Sit yourself down, take a seat

All you gotta do is repeat after me

A, B, C

Easy as 1, 2, 3

Or simple as Do-Re-Mi

A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, baby, you and me, girl!

A, B, C

Easy as 1, 2, 3

Or simple as Do-Re-Mi

A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, baby, you and me, girl!

Come on, let me love you just a little bit!

I'ma gonna teach how to sing it out!

Come on, come on, come on

Let me show you what it's all about!

Reading, writing, 'rithmetic

Are the branches of the learning tree

But without the roots of love every day, girl

Your education ain't complete

T-t-t-teachers gonna show you (Show you, show you)

How to get an "A"! (Nyah nyah nyah nyah!)

Spell me, you (You add the two)

Listen to me, baby, that's all you gotta do!

Oh, A, B, C

It's easy as 1, 2, 3

Or simple as Do-Re-Mi

A, B, C, 1, 2, 3, baby, you and me, girl!

A, B, C, it's easy, it's like counting up to three

Sing a simple melody

That's how easy love can be

Now, that's how easy love can be

Sing a simple melody

1, 2, 3, you and me (Yeah)

Sit down, girl!

I think I love you!

No!

Get up, girl!

Show me what you can do!

Shake it, shake it, baby, come on now!

Shake it, shake it, baby, ooh-ooh!

Shake it, shake it, baby, huh!

1, 2, 3, baby, ooh-ooh

A, B, C, baby, nah nah!

Do-Re-Mi, baby, huh!

That's how easy love can be

A, B, C, it's easy, it's like counting up to three

Sing a simple melody

That's how easy love can be

I'm-a gonna teach you how to sing it out!

Come on, come on, come on

Let me show you what it's all about!

A, B, C, it's easy, it's like counting up to three

Sing a simple melody

That's how easy love can be

I'ma gonna teach you how to sing it out, sing it out, sing it out! (Oh! Oh! Oh, baby!)

A, B, C, it's easy, it's like counting up to three

Sing a simple melody

That's how easy...

Come 'Round Here I'm The One You Need lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by The Miracles)

Now you say every time you need some affection

The one you love goes in another direction

You just sit back in a daze, reminiscing

'Cause you know some other lips he's been kissing

Now when you need the love he'll never show 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

(Honey, honey)

But I know I'm the one you need

(Honey, honey)

Say now, I may not be the one you want

(Honey, honey)

But I know I'm the one you need

(Honey, honey)

Your life stands still

The minute he goes

You count the hours

Just hoping 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 lonely 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

(Honey, honey)

Oh, but I'm sure 'nough the one you need

(Honey, honey)

Oh, I may not be the one you want

(Honey, honey)

But I'm sure 'nough the one you need

(Honey, honey)

Now the days, the days, the days you sit alone by yourself

He's out fooling around with somebody else

Leaving you alone here with nothing to do

He's just waiting 'til 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

Now, I may not be the one you want

(Honey, honey)

Ooh, but I'm sure 'nough the one you need

(Honey, honey)

Oh yeah, I may not be the one you want

(Honey, honey)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby!

(Honey, honey)

I may not be the one you want

(Honey, honey)

But, I'm sure 'nough the one you need...

Don't Know Why I Love You lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by Stevie Wonder)

Oh, sure 'nough, baby, baby, baby... ooh, ooh

I don't know why I love you

I don't know why I love you but I love you

Always treat me like a fool

Kick me when I'm down that's your rule

I don't know why I love you, but I love you

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh you'll never, you'll never stop your cheating ways

With another guy you laughed in my face

Lord how long must I be disgraced

'Cause I love you, oh, baby, baby, baby

I don't know why I love you

I don't know you and me, baby, oh yeah

I don't know why I love you, but I love you, baby

Oh darling, darling, darling, darling ...

You throw my heart down in the dirt

Oh, you make me crawl

On this cold black earth, baby, yeah

I never knew, I never knew how much I could hurt

'Til I love you, baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah

Can't stop, I can't stop crying can't you see

Here I'm pleading on my knees

Upon my knees, yeah, baby, yeah

Won't you help me, help me please

'Cause I love you, love you, love you, oh

(Sure 'nough, baby)

I don't know, we don't know, we don't know nothing about it

(I don't know why I love you... Oh! Oh!)

I don't know why I love you, baby, baby

(I don't know, I don't know)

I don't know why I love you, baby, baby... don't know why though

Never Had A Dream Come True lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by Stevie Wonder)

I never, never had a dream come true

In my every daydream

I'm loved by you

And we're free as the wind, ah yeah

And true love is no sin

Therefore men are men, not machines

I never, never had a dream come true

Without you, the world out there

Is painted shades of blue, yeah

Since our roads never cross

I work just to please the boss

Think I might as well get lost in my dreams

I never had a dream come true

I guess I'm gonna, I'm gonna dream you about you, baby

My whole life through, yeah

Seems my folks are ashamed, ah yeah

Said I ain't worth a thing, Lord, Lord

But I'm glad I am chained to my dreams

True Love Can Be Beautiful lyrics - Jackson 5

True love can be beautiful

Searching

Been looking everywhere

Soon I'll find you, girl

I know I'm getting closer now

Can't wait to hold you, girl

The day I find you, girl, you'll love me

Hey, girl

When you're in my arms you'll want to keep for me

I'm sure

‘cause my love's that strong you'll be too weak to leave me

The day I find you, girl, you'll love me

Each day I try harder

With faith and confidence

I know I'll get you

True love can be beautiful but it takes time

So close

I can still feel your heartbeat but you're not here

But my searching is all over now that you're growing near

Today I finally found you, girl, and you love me

You're here in my arms

Where you'll stay today

Always...

True love can be beautiful but it takes time

Today I found you, girl

You love me

True love can be beautiful but it takes time

La-La Means I Love You lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by The Delfonics)

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

La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you

Oh, yeah, yeah

The things I am sayin' are true

And the way I explain them to you

Yes, to you

Listen to me

La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you

Oh, you got to understand now

La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you

Oh, come on and take my hand now

La-la la-la la-la la-la la means I love you

Come on, and be my only one now

I'll Bet You lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by Funkadelic)

Ice cream cone on a red hot stove will melt, and I'll bet ya

A drowning man's very first word is help, and I'll bet ya

If you bet on a horse and the horse don't win, you lose, and I'll bet ya

If you try, to sit on air, you're gonna fall, and I'll bet ya

If you want a winning hand

If you want a perfect man

That you never lose my love

I'm gonna win, and I'll bet ya

That you never lose my love

I'm gonna win, and I'll bet ya

Take a car, without fuel, it ain't gonna move, and I'll bet ya

A carpenter can't build his house without any tools, and I'll bet ya

If your shoes are too small, they hurt your feet, and I'll bet ya

And you can't know what's goin' on, if you're asleep, oh I'll bet ya

If you want a winning hand

If you want a perfect man

That you never lose my love

I'm gonna win, and I'll bet ya

That you never lose my love

That you never lose my love

I know I'm gonna win, and I'll bet ya

I Found That Girl lyrics - Jackson 5

Ooh ooh

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 a meaning and I have a goal

This feeling inside me now makes yester-me a hundred years old

Now I understand (I understand)

What is it to be a man (To be a man)

The way you explained it to me that day

You said only the right girl can make me feel this way, well

Mama, I think I found that girl (I found that girl)

Yeah, mama, I think I found that girl (I found that girl)

Ooh, mama, she's that beautiful dream that I dream each night

She's that bird of love, on whose wings I've been flying

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 me find (Lets me find)

A reason to be alive (To be alive)

The day when you sat me upon your knee

You said only the right girl could be all these things

Mama, I think I found that girl (I found that girl)

Yeah, mama, I think I found that girl (I found that girl)

You said, "Son, go on and search around

There's a good girl who's out there to be found."

And mama, I think I found that girl (I found that girl)

Yeah, mama, I think I found that girl (I found that girl)

Ooh

I Want You Back lyrics - Jackson 5

Uh-huh huh huh huh

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, darling, 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

Trying to live without your love is 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

Following the girl, I didn't even want around

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, darling, 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!

I want you back

Forget what happened then

I want you back

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 'cause

Give me back what I lost

Oh, baby, I need one more chance, ha

I tell ya that I love you

(Baby!) Oh! (Baby!) Oh! (Baby!) Oh!

I want you back!

Forget what happened then

I want you back!

And let me live again

Oh, I want you back! Ha!

Can You Remember lyrics - Jackson 5

Can you remember (Can you remember)

When we were babies (Babies)

We were always together

When we were in kindergarten (Kindergarten)

But now that you are grown

So, girl you left me all alone

And you know I'll never find

No one to call my own

So, girl, I love you (I love you)

Don't you know I love you (Don't you know I love you)

(I sure do, like for you)

Like for you (To remember if you can)

Hey, can you remember

(The time we had and the time we shared)

And the time we shared

(Sitting together in the grass)

In the grass, yeah

Can you remember (Can you remember)

When we were babies (Babies)

We were always together

And our love had no end (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 what I'll do

So, girl, I love you (I love you), I love you

Don't you know I love you (Don't you know I love you)

(I sure do, like for you)

Like for you (To remember if you can)

Hey, can you remember

(The time we had and the time we shared)

And the time we shared

(Sitting together in the grass)

Can you remember (I sure do, like for you)

Like for you (To remember if you can)

The time we had (The time we had)

And the time we shared (And the time we shared)

(Sitting together in the grass)

We're sitting in the grass, playing in the grass...

Standing In The Shadows Of Love lyrics - 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 to come

Can't you see me standing in 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 find me I know

Without your love, your 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 leave me) standing in the shadows of love

Getting ready for the heart aches to come

Can't you see me standing in the shadows of love?

I'm trying my best to get ready for the heart aches to come

All alone I'm destined to be

With misery my only company

It may come today, or it may 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!

I 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 to cry out loud

'Cause all this crying 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 want to 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?

So 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

I'm trying my best to get ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting ready for the heartaches to come

Standing in the shadows of love

I'm getting...

You've Changed lyrics - Jackson 5

I remember when you was a little girl

I say you never, ever, ever wore curls

You wore nothing but an old shaggy, shaggy dress

I say you never ever tried to look your best

Now when I look at you

All my love come running through

You've changed and it's showing yeah

My love for you has grown (my love has grown)

You've changed and it's showing (Oh)

Your legs were little, but now they are big

Instead of wearing ponytails

You got a little old red wig

Your eyes are pretty, you got some kissable lips

And I love they way you walk, way you sway your little hips

Now when I look at you

All my love come running through

You've changed and it's showing

My love for you is growing, yeah

You've changed and it's showing

(Your walk) Ooh, baby, I love the way you walk

(Your talk) Ooh, the way you speak to me

(Your looks) Ooh, my honey sugar

(Your eyes) Ooh, ooh, baby, hypnotise

Now when I look at you

All my love comes running through

(You changed and it's showing)

Ooh, you changed and it's showing

(My love for you is growing)

My love, my love, my love is growing

(You changed and it's showing)

Hoo, you changed and it's showing

Yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Your walk) Ooh, baby, I love the way you walk

(Your talk) Your talk, your talk, hoo, now

(Your looks) Ooh, my honey sugar

My Cherie Amour lyrics - 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 café or sometimes on a crowded street

I've been near you but you never notice me

Oh cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore

Back behind this little smile I wore

How I wished that you were mine

My cherie amour...

Maybe some day you'll see my face among the crowd

Maybe some day you'll 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 lyrics - Jackson 5

I'd like to talk to y'all tonight about the blues

The blues?

Yeah. 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

I gave her my cookies!

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?

I, I, I, I should have never, ever

Ever made you cry

And... and, girl, since yer... since you been gone

Don't you know I sit around

With my head hanging down

And I wonder who's loving you?

Life without love. Huh

It's oh so lonely

I don't think... I don't think I'm gonna make it

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?

Who's loving you?

I, I, I gotta know yeah

I, I, I, I, I wonder

Who's loving you?

Who's loving you? Come on, baby. Oh, oh, yeah, baby

Who's loving you?

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh, yeah

Chained lyrics - Jackson 5

Hoo hoo, listen darlin', yeah yeah (Yeah yeah)

Yeah yeah (Yeah yeah)

Ooh yeah (Yeah yeah)

Ooh

It seemed like yesterday

That you were in my arms

And in a special way

You touched my heart with all your charms

And 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 (There's no love left)

Hey, hey! Don't know where I failed

It seems I always cared

And I did all I know

To win your love and make it so

You always stay but you turned away (Turned away)

Honey, what could I say?

How could you, how could you do me this way?

'Cause I'm chained

To your love and affection

Chained with my heart in my only direction

Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh

I've got to make it right

Somehow it all went wrong

Somewhere down the line

The love I lost

The love I gotta find

Whoa! 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

Baby, chained to your love

When I hear your name

How I tremble, how I tremble, yeah

Honey, you know, honey, you know, yeah

Oh, baby, yeah

Now I admit that I

Haven't been the perfect guy

For a girl as sweet as you

My heart and soul cries out for you

(One more chance that's all I need)

I'm gonna make it right, baby (Gonna make it right, baby)

Can 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 in my only direction

Well, I'm chained to your love and affection

Well, well, well, well, well...

(I Know) I'm Losing You lyrics - Jackson 5

Ooh, your love is fading, I can feel it fading

Girl, it's fading away from me

'Cause your touch, your touch has gone 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, downhearted and worried, girl

'Cause that face doesn't belong to me

It's all over your face

Someone's taken my place

Ooh, little girl, I'm losing you

It's hard to hide

Emptiness you feel inside

Ooh, little girl, I'm losing you

I can tell when we kiss

From the tenderness I've missed

Ah, baby, I'm losing you

I can feel it in my bones

Any day you've been gone

Ooh, baby, I'm losing you

Ah, baby, what happened to the love we shared?

Ooh, baby, I'm losing you

I don't wanna lose you, girl. No, baby...

Stand! lyrics - 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 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

Stand! Stand!

Huh! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Stand! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

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)

Huh! Hah! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, yeah yeah ya ya

Huh! Hah! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Huh! Hah! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Born To Love You lyrics - 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

Guess I was born to love you

Ooh, guess I was born to love you

(Darling I, I was born to love you

Give my love to no one but you)

This is a man with the future in his hands

Don't let go (Don't let go)

Baby, don't let go (Don't let go)

(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

Guess I was born to love you

I guess I was born to love you, ah yeah

Guess I was born to love you, darling I, ah yeah...

My Girl lyrics - Jackson 5

(originally by The Temptations)

I've got sunshine

On a cloudy day

When it's cold outside

I've got the month of May

Well, I guess you'll say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl

Talking 'bout my girl

I've got so much honey

The bees envy me

I've got a sweeter song

Than the birds in the trees

Well, I guess you'll say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl

Talking 'bout my girl

Ooh, hoo

Hey, hey, hey

I love my baby

She makes me feel proud

I'll climb the highest mountain

And say it out loud

I don't need no money

Fortune or fame

I've got all the riches, baby

One man can claim

Well, I guess you'll say

What can make me feel this way?

My girl

Talking 'bout my girl

I've got sunshine on cloudy day

With my girl

I've even got the month of May

With my girl

My girl

I see you walk by with other guys
Step, step, steppin' on my toes
The whole world's talkin' 'bout
How I'm your Standby Santa Claus

But ooh, your kisses thrill me
Sure love your angel eyes
The devil in you kills me
But I made up my mind

I'm gonna be your Sugar Daddy
Give you honey all my money
Well, L A to Cincinatti
That's how far I'd crawl for you
Oh baby I'll be your Sugar Daddy
Give you kissin' when its missin', yeah Oh
Baby, I'll try to keep you happy
'Cause I got a sweet tooth for your love

S-U-G, listen to me, listen to me
A-R, what it is, what it is
D-A-D-D-Y spells I'm your good thing

King of fools they crowned me
And the crown just fits me to a "T"
'Cause you only come around me
Just to pick up what you need
You just play on my emotions
With please, please, pretty please
Well everybody's got the notion
I'm your Goodwill Industry (Oh Henry)

He's driving me nuts,
while I'm giving you the candy, he's gettin' all
You love (Mary Jane said, Mary Jane said
I'm just your lollipop, sucker)
Well, my flavour's longlasting girl
It ain't never gonna stop
Nooooooooo
Baby, I'm a fool
Just a fool in love with you
(I cant help myself, oh, no)
Oh, no, I can't help myself

I'm gonna be your Sugar Daddy
Give you honey all my money
Well L A to Cincinatti
That's how far I'd crawl for you
Oh, baby, I'll be your Sugar Daddy
Give you kissin' when its missin'
I'll even let you drive my caddy, when I get one
Now listen, oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna be your Sugar Daddy
Give you honey, all my money
