Hey Mr. Bluebird On my shoulder
And is that true, satisfactual
Everything is gonna be yeah

....REPEAT SONG.....
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 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.
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
You keep me walkin' my way back to you
You say you love me and let's start anew
You break my heart,
Then you say we're through
No more believin'
In every word you say
Persuasions deceiving
But I'm wise in every way
And I know 'bout your playin'
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 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
You better make a way for the young folks!
Here we come & we're so glad
we're here for business budy & don't want no jive
Oh right in tomorrow....???
You gotta make a way for the young folks , oooo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
We say yes & you so no
We ask you why & you close the door
(chorus)
My ole friend I thought you know by now
You can't do that to the young folks, oh
No no no no!
You might no like it, but I gotta tell you
I gotta tell you, oh yeah...
You gotta make way for the young folks
ooo, yeah.... We're marching with signs
we're standing in line yeah
?????
Here's the deal accept it if you will
Were going strong its our turn to deal
I remember when you was a little girl
I say you never ever ever wore curls
You wore nothing but an ole shaggy shaggy dress
I say you never ever tried to look your best
(chorus) Now when I look at you
All my love come running through
You've changed & it's shown yeah
My love for you has grown yes it did now
You've changed & it shown
Yeah...............yeah,yeah...........
Your legs were little but now they are big
instead of wearing ponytails
you got a little ole red wig
your eyes are pretty, you got some kissable lips
& I love they way you walk, way you sway your little hips
(chorus)
When I had you
I treated you bad I'm wrong my dear
And 'cause it says you been away
(chorus)
Don't you know I sit around
With my head hanging down
And I wonder who's lovin' you
I should have never, ever
ever made you cry
And cause it says you been gone
(chorus)
(bridge) Life with out love, huh...
It's oh so lonely
I don't think I'm gonna make it
All my life, I've been lost to you only
Come on & take it girl
Come on & take it, because....
All, all I can do since you've been gone is cry
And do you ever wonder or worry
your feeling hurt like I do
(chorus)
What you don't know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Won't hurt you
What you don't know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Won't hurt you
That's what the people try to tell me now
Since my baby's been gone, gone, gone
What you don't know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Won't hurt you
But I can't find peace of mind in what they say
No, no
No I can't find peace of mind, no way, no way
What you don't know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Won't hurt you
What you don't know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Won't hurt you
Since that morning that she walked away
Wonder where she is everyday
What you don't know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Won't hurt you
I can't find peace of mind in what they say
No, no
No I can't find peace of mind, no way, no way, no way
Come on back girl
Come on back girl
What you don't know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Won't hurt you
That's what the people try to tell me now
Since my baby's been gone, gone, gone
What you don't know
Know, know, know, know, know, know, know
Won't hurt you
I can't find peace of mind in what they say
No, no
No I can't find peace of mind, no way, no, no way
Come on, come on, come on, come on back, come on back, girl
I need you, gotta have you
Come on back, girl
Come on back, girl
I need you, baby
Wanna see you, baby
Come on back, girl
I can't find peace of mind in what they say
No I can't find peace of mind, no way
How come you tell me that we have to get away?
But girl you can't be found.
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysees
When ever you come around.
There's been a breakdown, breakdown.
Don't change your mind on me.
Just take a little time.
You say the finer things are just worth waiting for.
Just gimme some kind of sign, baby.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer, I canmt wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back me tears any longer, longer.
Sometimes I think of all the moments that we shared.
I been waiting for so long.
You know it hurts me every time you run and hide.
I look up and now your gone.
I been put down, weighed down.
There's no tomorrow for me.
We can't let love just fade away, baby.
I can't wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
Well, I've been longing for you deep inside.
And I tell my self, baby, baby if this love of ours will survive,
Then let's take this chance together, together, baby we'll know.
I just can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer.
You pushed my heart around, tore me up inside, made me feel so bad.
You took away my pride.
I keep waiting, waiting for a hundred years.
I can't hold back my tears any longer.
I can't hold back my tears any longer.
The Mirrors of My Mind
Slipping though hour glass of time
Fitting the mirrors of my mind
Traveling through the mirrors of my mind
I see reflections of a sweet love left behind
Kaleidoscopes of memories turning gray
Why do I hold on to yesterday?
Slipping though hour glass of time
Fitting in the mirrors of my mind
Reflecting of the mirrors of my mind
Questions that I've asked a million times
Why did it turn out this way?
Girl, why must we love always and yesterday?
I keep pretending, with memories never ending, ohh
I can't keep fooling myself
Slipping though hour glass of time
(7x repeat)
I keep pretending
Slipping though hour glass of time
Slipping though hour glass of time
I keep pretending, with memories never ending, ohh
Slipping though hour glass of time
I keep pretending, with memories never ending, ohh
[repeat to fade]
It was on the street so evil, so bad that even hell disowned it.
Every single step was trouble for the fool who stumbled on it.
Eyes within the dark were watchin' I felt that sudden chill of danger.
Something told me to keep on walkin' told me I should not have gone there.
Baby, because you cut me like a knife without your love in my life.
I'm out, I'm walkin' the night 'cause I just canmt stop this feelin'.
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture.
She was up a stair to nowhere.
A room forever I'll remember.
She said as though I should have known her,
Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?
Every little thing you find here is simply for the thrill you're after.
Loneliness or hearts on fire.
I am here to serve all masters.
She said Reality is a knife when there's no love in your life.
Unmerciful is the night when you just can't stop this feelin'.
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture.
And I still can't find the meaning of the face I keep on seeing.
Was she real or am I dreaming?
Did the sound of your name turn a wheel, strike a flame in me?
Baby, because you cut me like a knife without your love in my life.
I'm out, I'm walkin' the night and I just can't stop this feeling.
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture.
She said Reality is a knife when there's no love in your life.
Unmerciful is the night when you just can't stop this feelin'.
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture.
Lonely, in my darkened room
Sad and weary, persevering for love
Sad and weary, persevering
And I hope that she is thinkin' to come back to me
Is it 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
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 bear
This suffering inside, 'til 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
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Time waits for no one
Think, think, think, think, think, think, happy
Think, think, think, think, think, think, happy
There ain't no reason, for you to be sad (yeah, mmm)
I know things can't be, can't be that bad (yeah)
With a smail on your face (smile on your face)
With the love in your eyes (love in your eyes)
I know you'll feel better (ohhh)
You can only try
Try to think...
Happy, (happy, happy)
It's the only way to be
Thinking happy (happy, happy)
Try and you will see
Maybe the reason, don't be negative
You'll be rewarded, if you're positive (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You were born to be free (you were born to be)
Free to be who you are (be who you are, hallelujah)
You'll feel better (ohh)
You can only try
Happy, (happy, happy)
It's the only way to be
I'm thinking happy (happy, happy)
If you Try and you will see
Think, think, think, think, think....
Happy, (happy, happy)
It's the only way to be
I'm thinking happy (happy, happy)
If you try and you will see
Na na na na na na think happy
(Think, think, think, think)
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 CAN BAT AN EYE
SINCE YOU WERE TELLING ME GOODBYE
OH, JUST A MINUTE AGO YOUR LOVE WAS HERE
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEM TO DISAPPEAR
SWEETNESS WAS ONLY HEARTACHES CAMOUFLAGE
THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE
(YOU PROMISED THAT LOVE WE FOREVER SHARE)
(BUT ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES OF LOVE THAT WAS NEVER THERE)
WE USE 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 MEETINGS YOU AVOID
AND SO MY WORLD YOU HAVE DESTROYED
OH, JUST A MINUTE AGO YOUR LOVE WAS HERE
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEM 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 LEFT ME AND MY DREAMS SHATTERED ALL ON THE GROUND)
OH, OH, OH YOU ONLY FEEL ME WITH DESPAIR
BY SHOWING LOVE THAT WASN'T THERE
OH, JUST LIKE THE DESERT SHOWS A THIRSTY MAN
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, BUT IT WAS NO DEEPER THAN YOUR SKIN)
Come they told me, pa-rum pum pum pum

You use the love to quench my desire.
You play with me, you play with fire,
I'd give my heart to take you higher.
This is my only one desire.
We can't get along.
And you won't come home.
There's a day I caught you in his arms, seducing him with all your charms.
You know you really hurt me so.
I need you and I won't let go.
Can't get away, babe.
Can't get along, mama.
Can't get away, babe.
Oh, you hurt me so.
Oh, babe, you got me crying in my sleep.
I close my eyes, it's you I see.
You're not with someone else, I know.
My heart says not to let you go.
Oh, babe, my heart is stronger than my soul.
You hurt my head down to me toes.
I won't let go; you make me wild.
You leave me, girl, you know I'll die.
Can't get away, babe
Can't you let you go, darlin'
I can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so.
Can't get away
Can't let you go
Can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so.
JACK STILL CRIES DAY AND NIGHT
JACK'S NOT HAPPY WITH HIS LIFE
HE WANTS TO DO THIS
HE WANTS TO THAT
YOU WANT TO BE KIND BUT ENDS UP FLAT FOR LOVE
FOR LOVE
(CHORUS)
HE TRIES SO HARD TO GIVE A LOT
HE WANTS TO BE WHAT HE IS NOT
BUT LOVE'S NOT HARSH AND LOVE'S NOT BAD
SO WHAT'S HE 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 DEEP INSIDE OF HIM
EATIN' 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 THOUGHT OF WHO TO BE
I WISH TO GOD THAT HE WOULD SEE JUST LOVE
GIVE HIM LOVE
CHORUS
(JACK STILL)TRYIN' TO MAKE YOU HAPPY BUT
(JACK STILL)TRYIN' TO MAKE YOU HAPPY BUT
(JACK STILL)TRYIN'TO MAKE YOU HAPPY BUT IT'S LOVE, BUT IT'S LOVE
(JACK STILL)TRYIN' TO MAKE YOU, BUT DON'T YOU KNOW HE CRIES
(JACK STILL)DON'T YOU KNOW HE'S SCARED
(JACK STILL)IT'S OFTEN FOR HIS LOVE
IT'S FOR HIS LOVE
DON'T YOU KNOW HE OFTEN CRIES ABOUT YOU
HE CRIES ABOUT ME
HE CRIES ABOUT YOU (YOU) AND ME (AND ME)
AND EVERY LITTLE THING THAT'S IN HIS WAY
HE CRIES ABOUT ME
HE CRIES ABOUT YOU (YOU) AND ME (AND ME)
HE KNOWS HE DESERVES TO CRY

(Verse 1)
Here I am reaching out for ya,
But there's nothing to reach for.
'Cause my mind don't belive what my eyes have seen,
The blames you gave.
You know (You know),

Your mama raised you from a child,

You've got to change, your style of life.
You've got to change, your style of life.
(Verse 2)
Ohh there you go, saying "I think I love ya,
But it's a matter of time."
I have told ya, and told ya how bad I wish to hold you,
My feelins have doubt in mind.
You know (You know), and I know, that you can do better,
Tomorrow's a brand new day.
I have tried to make you change, but you remain the same
And I feel, you really come to nothing, no.
(Chorus)
You've gotta change, your style of life
You've gotta change, your style of life
(Bridge)
You and me, baby
Haven't been together but so long.

My love don't come easy.
Why don't you change, baby please, please.
(Chorus)
You've gotta change, your style of life (u gotta change)
You've gotta change, your style of life (turn around)
You've gotta change, your style of life (mmmm)

You've gotta change, your style of life (mmmm)
You've gotta change, your style of life (mmmm)
Come on baby.

Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready or the heart aches 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
For heartaches will find me I know.
Without your love, a love I need
It's the beginning of the end of me.
Cuz 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 always 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
Getting ready for the heart aches to come.
(Can't you see me) Standing in the shadows of love
Doing 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've 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 outloud
Cuz 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 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?
(Don't you see me) Standing in the shadows of love
I'm getting ready or the heart aches to come.
(repeat to to fade)
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.
You have you to complete and there is no deal.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Oom bah bah bah 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.
Huh! Hah! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya. (etc. to fade)
SOMEDAY AT CHRISTMAS WE'LL SEE A MAN PLAYING WITH MOMS LIKE KIDS PLAY WITH TOYS
WHEN WE HAVE FOUND HOW LIFE REALLY WORKS THERE'LL BE PEACE ON EARTH. SOMEDAY AT
CHRISTMAS THERE'LL BE NO HARM WE HAVE FOUND WHAT CHRISTMAS IS FOR WHEN WE HAVE
FOUND HAOE
You know Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid, Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Hey Rudolph
Wo-hoah, Rudolph
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glowed
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games (chorus)
Oh, then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say (hey Rudolph)
Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won¡¯t you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him,
As they shouted out with glee:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You¡¯ll go down in history
You¡¯ll go down in history
Hey Rudolph
Hey Rudolph
Wo-hoah, Rudolph
Red-Nosed Reindeer
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
SEE HER TWIST AND TURNIN'
NOW HER FUSE IS BURNIN'
DYNAMITE IN ACTION
SO MUCH SATISFACTION
SO EXCITING, SHE NEVER DOES UNWIND
KEEPS ROCKIN' ALL THE TME
SHE'S TWO GIRLS IN ONE
AND SHE SURE TWICE THE FUN
SHE'S A RHYTHM CHILD (SHE'LL DRIVE YOU WILD)
SHE'S A RHYTHM CHILD (SET YOUR SOUL ON FIRE)
SHE'S A RHYTHM CHILD, RHYTHM CHILD (SEXY)
RHYTHM CHILD, RHYTHM CHILD
JUST WATCH HER DANCE, SHE'LL TURN YOU ON, MAKE YOU WANNA DO IT
PLACE OF FUNKY MUSIC
THEY JUST WATCH HER DO IT
DANCIN' UP A STORM
BURNIN' UP THE FLOOR
OOH SEXY BABY, I KEEP YOU ON MY MIND
YOU STAY THERE ALL THE TIME
YOU'RE TWO GIRLS IN ONE
AND YOU'RE SURE TWICE THE FUN
CHORUS
SHE'S A RHYTHM CHILD (OOH,OOH SEXY BABY)
SHE'S A RHYTHM CHILD (SEXY)
SHE'S A DANCER, ROMANCER
SHE 'LL DRIVE YOU WILD (SHE'LL DRIVE YOU WILD)
AS SHE'LL DO, DO, DO, DO, DO HER THING
SHE'S RHYTHM, RHYTHM
SWEET RHYTHM (SHE'S SWEET RHYTHM)
I really need her
She
She
She
She
She loves
She
She
She
I have found a lady
That's so real to reality
She's the kind of lady
That's so fresh and dressed to the trip
Flowers, fancy car, diamonds and gold
She wears it well
She's the kind that's close to me
And flower can't you tell
She's mine
She's mine
And she's fine
And I know so deep in my heart
I really need her
And I know that
She - is the one I love

You've been sitting here thinking
Wether or not
He's gonna be with you
Give it up babe
Not meant to be this time
If he's not gonna love ya
Then don't worry 'bout losin'
His love
You'll make it up baby
Don't let it get you down
I can show you what love is all about
You're such a treat so candy sweet
With one chance I'll love away
All your doubts
Won't you be mine
Let's have a good time
Play it up
Just play it on up
Play it up
Just play it on up
Play it on up baby
Don't let it get you down
Show expression in whatever
You do
Gain possession
Keep control of your mind
Wake up baby
Don't let it get you down
Cryin' just don't make sense
Another victim of his evil game
I'll treat you right baby
Girl you should be mine
I can show you what love is all about
You're such a treat so candy sweet
With one chance I'll love away
All your doubts
Won't you be mine
Let's have a good time
Play it up
Just play it on up
Play it up
Just play it on up
Don't let it get you down
Just remember everything I tell you.
Sorry for the pain and I have caused you.
You know it's true, I want to stay.
I know you tried to make it what it should have been.
You were there to help me when I couldn't have been.
I don't know what ever came over me.
Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.
Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.
I just want to do half of what you do.
And I know it seems so strange of me to say this.
If there is a hundred ways to say it, all in one it means don't go away.
Everybody's goin' around tellin' you lies.
They don't know how hard I've tried.
You know it takes the pressure for me to see.
Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme one more chance for me.
Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.
If you could read my mind how wonderful it would be.
Love is hard to find, and what it means to me is so divine.
Gimme that one more chance
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.
Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.
Gimme that one more chance.
I want to prove it
Remember all that we've planned
I know we can do this
Gimme that one more chance for me.
Gimme that one more chance.
Love's my playground
I realise I let you down
Gimme one more chance for me.
Say you love me.
Say you love me.
I want you to say it, say it,
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
I love you.
Please tell me you love me
THE JOY YOU BRING TO ME EACH DAY

Jackson 5
Oh how happy you have made me

And more times than I can count
I have called you mine
You have stood by me in my darkest hour
Oh how happy you have made me
Oh how happy you have made me
Oh how happy you have made me
Oh how happy you have made me
In our years together
We had stormy wearther
But our love has been so strong
But somehow we carry on

You brought joy to my empty life
And all that?s wrong you made it right
My love, our love, my love, yeah, yeah
everybody has something they have to leave behind
one regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
there's no use look'in back or wonder'n
how it could be now or mighta been
Oh this i know but still i can't find ways to let you go
Chorus
I never had a dream come true
till the day that i found you
even though i pretend that ive moved on
you'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
you're the one i think about each day
and i know no matter where life takes me to
a part of me will always be with you
Somewhere in my memory I lost all sense of time
soon my road can never be 'cause yesterday is all that fills my mind
there's no use look'in back or wonderin
how it could now or mighta been
Oh this I know but still i can't find ways to let you go
chorus
you'll always be the dream that fills my head
yes you will, say you will you know you will O baby
you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
there's no use lookin back or wonderin
'cause love is a strange and funny thing
no matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
no no no no no
chorus
You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, 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 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
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all I'm after

If you should ever find someone new, I know he'd better be good to you
'Cause if he doesn't, I'll be there

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
Chorus:
('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
[Chorus]
Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance
Music is a sound
That makes the boys and girls get down
Jackson 5 Medley
(I Want You Back / The Love You Save / I'll Be There)
The Jackson 5
I Want You Back
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
Then 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 (I want you back)
Now, now, now
The Love You Save
When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be it
But chasin' 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 in grade school
You're doing the same old thing
Stop, the love you save maybe your own
Darlin' take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone
(You better stop)
(The love you save maybe your own)
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're heading for a danger zone
I'll Be There
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)
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 holdin' on, ooh
(Holding on)
If you should ever find someone new
I know he'd better being 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 and I'll be there
Just look over your shoulders, honey, ooh
I'll be there
I'll be there
Just call my name, and I'll be there
Gettin' close to midnight
I feel the trouble in the air
Livin' here in the city life
So it seems they just don't care
She says groove all night
I said it's gotta be alright
She said take my advice
The night has just begun
Let's get down
Midnight rendezvous
Ah where people go
Can't help but get loose
Midnight rendezvous
This place uptown
Where they all get down
Wall to wall people jumpin'
A lot of babes are in this place
I don't care if she belongs to him
I'm gonna stare back in her face
She says groove all night
You said wanna start a fight
I said take my advice
And yeah the night has just begun
Let's get down
Midnight rendezvous
Ah where people go
Can't help but get loose
Midnight rendezvous
This place updown
Where they all get down
Midnight rendezvous
Ah where people go
Can't help but get loose
Ah no
Ah groove all night long
Groove on
All my baby, baby, baby
Dance with me 'til mornin'
Midnight rendezvous
Maybe Tomorrow
The Jackson Five
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)
From: "Tasha"
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 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 your 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
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
All you got to do is
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Chorus:
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
You think your way
Is the best way for all
You don't know everything
You don't know it all
You got respect a man
For the way he feels
You can't make people do
Things against their will
[Chorus]
Just because your army
Gives you strength and might
Truth is 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 you 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 be
Tryin' to make him do
What you want him to
Tryin' to make him say
What you want him to say
I know there's got to
Be a better way
You think your way
Is the best way for all
You don't know everything
You don't know it all
You got respect a man
For the way he feels
You can't make people do
Things against their will
[Chorus]
Why don't you believe me when I say that I love you?
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you
Wear the face that tells me you think my loving ain't true
I'm all about you
You're my desirer higher, higher everytime I speak your name
That's 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 you When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane
Chorus
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
That's all I do
The way that I can't sleep at night
Just proves what I go through
I 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
Chorus
Baby, baby listen to me
There is something you have to see
We'll show you
What you got to do
You just follow our next move
(Keep on dancing)
Let me music take your mind
(Keep on dancing)
Have a real real good time
(Keep on dancing)
Why don't you
Get up on the floor
(Keep on dancing)
Till you can't dance no more
(Keep on dancing)
Keep on dancing
(Dancing)
Dancing, yeah
Get up on the floor
Dancing, girl, will make you happy
And happy is what you want to be
Dancing fast
Just spinning around
Dancing slow
When you get down
(Keep on dancing)
Let me music take your mind
(Keep on dancing)
And have a real real good time
(Keep on dancing)
Why don't you
Get up on the floor
(Keep on dancing)
Till you can't dance no more
(Keep on dancing)
Keep on dancing
(Dancing)
Dancing, yeah, yeah

(That you just can't resist)
(When you're dancing to the music)
Dancing to the music

Get on up
Get on up

Take the worries off your mind
(Keep on dancing)
Have a good, good, good time

I want the world
The whole wide world
To stop and listen to me
If we're going to stick together
We've got to be a family
This love
Love

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

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

Gotta make it strong
By living together
If this world

By living together
Have yourself a good, good time
But don't you know

Gotta make it strong together
It's the only way to do it

Happened long time ago
A-little bitty pretty one
I've been watchin' you grow

People have misunderstandings
Of what life is all about
They put values on the wrong things
And in happiness they lose out
Cause being happy's a feeling
It's all a frame of mind
And every moment you feel sad and blue
You could be having a real good time
Chorus:
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 feel better
And have the best time you've ever had
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 will have a bright tomorrow
There's always sunshine after rain
Chorus:
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 feel better
And have the best time you've ever had
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
With you it seems
I can reach the stars
With reckless hopes and dreams
But you it seems
Still don't believe
How valuble you are
I'm really loving you
Not pretending to
If I don't love you this strong
Why 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 worth while
Doesn't that explain
That I'm playin' no games
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
Ice cream on a red hot stove will melt
And I bet'cha
A drownin' man, bet his first words are ";Help";
And I bet'cha
Bet on a horse and the horse don't win, you will lose
And I bet'cha
If you try to walk on ice, you may lose your shoes
And I bet'cha
But if you ...
Wow! Mommy's kissing Santa Claus!
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn¡¯t see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom, fast asleep
Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
He saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
I did! I really did see Mommy kissing Santa Claus
And I'm gonna tell my Dad
Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
I did! I did! I really did see Mommy kissing Santa Claus
You gotta believe me! You just gotta believe me!
Come on, fellas, believe me! You just gotta believe me!
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

Shower my warmth upon you

My key unlocks your heart
I'm your friend and your lover
Your sister and your brother

Your wish is my command

People take my hand

Sprinkle myself around you,

Shower my warmth upon you

Chorus:
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more
People always stare at us
When we are together
We laugh and joke and
Have a ball
We're friends and that makes
It better
We respect each other too
I was very lucky the day
I found you
Chorus:
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you 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 rare...so good
We believe in the same things too
Oh I was so lucky the day
I laid my eyes on you
Chorus:
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more
Live and sin
Ten years ago on this day,
My heart was yearning.
I promised I would never ever be returning
Where my baby broke my heart
And left me yearning
As we walked into the room,
There were faces
Staring, 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
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Hope is dead
She thought that I had cheated for another lover
I turn my back to see that I am 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
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.
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
People making lists, buying special gifts,
Taking time to be kind to one and all.
It's that time of year when good friends are near,
And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store.
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
him love on Christmas Day,
No greater gift is there than love.
People you don't know smile and nod hello,
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy.
It's that once of year when the world's sincere,
And you'd like to find a way to show the things that words can't say.
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
The man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know there's someone who cares.
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love.
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs more love.
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love.
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs more love.
I have a love
You gotta see
She's real tought
An' lookin' real mean
I turn her on
I have the key
The sound she makes
Excites me
The way she sits
The way she moves
Her body parts
Just makes you wanna groove
If you see her
Stop an' take a stare
If you look around
The lady won't be there
She's bad, bad
She's bad
She's bad, bad

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

And I'm leavin' here today

I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more
I've had my days of standing on shaky ground
I want my life so fancyfree
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
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more
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
All you have to do
Is state my name out loud
Oh, everybody, get down on the floor
I love the way you shake your thing
You make me want some more
Oh, everybody, get down on the floor
'Cause I love the way you move
Shake your thing
You make me want some more
Chorus:
Gotta find a way somehow
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gotta find a way somehow
Even though you're gone
Things don't look as bad
As they did yesterday
Even 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
Chorus:
Gotta find a way somehow
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gotta find a way somehow
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 thinkin
Thinking 'bout myself
It'll be a long time
Before I love somebody else
[Chorus]
I depended on you
For everything
Oh, I really trusted you
How could you do me the
Way you did
You really let me down
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
I guess I'll always 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
Though it's impossible, for us together
Oh it's not real, a love I can't feel
Guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away
I just can't wait, till I go to sleep
I'll be with you, all night long
Circumstances held me in a terrible face
It's fantasy, I just like to share these moments together
Guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away
And nothing comes but sleep, to a dreamer
And when you wake up the dream is gone away
Guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away
Guess I'll always be a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away

You're a lady
And that's a different show
You're meant for me
That makes you different, you see
Cause everything I do
Is always up to you
Cause you're a different kind of lady
Cause you're a different kind of lady
Cause you're a different kind of lady

[Repeat and fade out]
In this world there's so 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
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be free, let me be me
I'm a man that's for all seasons
What the city offers me 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
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be free, let me be me
I'm a man that's for all seasons
What the city offers me 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
I wanna be far from here
Should I up and fly away so fancy free
Nobody can change my mind
I'm screamming out these words for me
While time
Destiny, ah destiny, it's calling me
Destiny, a place for me
Ah, destiny
I want destiny
It's the place for me.......

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

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
And I find myself
Baby, I'm all alone
And there's no love left.
Hey! Hey!
Don't know why I failed.
For you I've always cared
And I did all I know
To win your love and make it so
You'd always stay
But you turned away.
Honey, what could I say?
How could you
How could you do me this way?
Cuz I'm chained
To your love and affection.
Chained cuz your love
Is 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
Whoah! 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 tremeble, yeah.
Honey, you know, honey, you know, 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 to you.
One more chance that's all I need
I'm gonna make it right, baby,
Now you just stay won't you stay with me?
Cuz I'm chained
To your love and afection.
Baby, I'm chained cuz your love
Is my only direction.
I'm chained...
Can you remember
When we were babies?
We were always together
When we were kindergartners.
Now that you're grown, 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?
My cherie, like for you
To remember if you can
Times we had and the time we shared
Sitting there in the grass.
Can you remember
When we were babies?
We were always together
And I never had no one but you.
When sunny skies are blue, girl,
You'll 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
Don't you know I love you?
My cherie, like for you
To remember if you can
Times we had and the time we shared
Sitting there in the grass.

and promising salvation is near this time.

What's your thinking
No darlin'
It won't, won't change my mind
But you can't take my blues away
Now tell me what you say, babe
You can't take my blues away
No matter what you say
What you say, hey, babe
This way I feel
I know that's it's true
Because it's for you
You know that it's true
But you try to be
Hard to resist
I ask what it's for
You know you close the door
(No no, no no)
Yeah
(No no, no no)
Tell me what you say, babe
Say, yeah, babe
You can't take my blues away
Tell me what you say
What you say, yeah, babe
I've got the power
Doin' it out
Say anything
'Cause I've got this feeling
Say I
I've got the power
Come on
Yeah
Come on
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
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats 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
And 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
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats 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
And start living for me in these changing times
The life your leading is so dangerous
It's so dangerous, dangerous all
The life your leading is so dangerous
Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats 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
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you've pleased none
My baby's always dancin'
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
But I don't get no lovin'
And that's no lie
We spent the night in Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed our love goodbye
(chorus)
Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the 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 time
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 lightening leave me
My baby just can't take her eyes off me
(chorus)
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control myself
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control myself
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
Sunshine
Moonlight
Good times
Boogie
Sunshine
Moonlight
Good times
Boogie
Don't you blame it
You just got to
You just want to
Yeah
Blame it on yourself
Ain't nobody's fault but yours and that boogie
Dancin' all night long
Yours and that boogie
Ain't nobody's fault but yours
Dancin' all night long
Always be not always and if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please be not always.
And if always, bow our heads in blame.
'Cause time has made promises, just promises.
Faces, did you see their faces?
Did they touch you?
Have you felt such pain?
To have nothing, to dream something, then lose hoping.
Is not life but lame?
But time has made promises, just promises.
Mothers cry, babies die helplessly in arms while rockets fly and research lies in progress to become.
But what of men are flesh and blood?
We turn our backs on life.
How can we claim to stand for peace when the race is armed in strife, destroying life?
Always, be not always.
But if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please, be not always.
'Cause if always, bow our heads in blame.
'Cause time has made promises, just promises.
Death promises.
Yah tell me lies
It brings me down down
I sacrificed do all I can for you
Then you throw me away
It's hard to figure out
If you want me
If you need me
I just have to wait and see
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
There's nothing you can do
To turn and make me walk away
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
I don't care what people say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Must be love
You misused the person in me
(Yeah, you did)
Like a hand in glove
Always thought how we could be
I can't turn back the times
When you were all mine
Try to love you
Try to please you
I just have to wait and see
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
I don't care what peole say
I'm gonna love you any way
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
There's nothing you can do
To turn and make me walk away
I don't like it baby
When your stopping me on the floor
'Cause the more I keep on dancin'
The more I keep wanting some more
I don't care what your saying
You're talking in my ear much too loud
And the music's taking my body
On a trip from nine to five
Keep me dancin' all night
All night, all night
Gonna dance up fire
Calling engine number 109
There ain't no chains to hold me
Gonna burn this place down till five
You can't stop this fever
'Cause my temperature is burning hot
And all I want to do is dance, dance
Sweating from my face to my feet
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night

Memories of growing up
And working hard
Our childhood passed us by
Mom and Dad
They sacrificed their wants and need
So we could reach the light
Although the times were tough for us
We knew they both worked hard
They gave us all their hearts could give
And still made room for love
We're all united
And standing strong
And still today
We're one big family
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
In harmony, together we'll join
Hands and sign
Our love across the land
Remember we always said,
If we got a change
We'll plan our work
And work our master plan
Although the road of life is tough
It has its ups and downs
We are the one and all
We can conquer all
We are united
And standing strong
And still today we're one big family
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
Mother and Father
They raised us to be
The best that we could be
Now the stage is set
The curtain's up
The crowd applauds your name
Then give a smile
Let's do your best
No matter how far we go
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
Your love is fading
I can feel it fading
Girl, it's fading away from me.
Cuz 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.
Oh, little girl, I'm losing you.
It's in the air.
It's everywhere.
Oh, 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
Cuz that face doesn't belong to me.
It' all over your face
Someone's taking my place
Oh, little girl, I'm losing you.
It's hard to hide
The emptiness inside
Oh, 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...
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to... you
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa¡¯s on his way
He¡¯s bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother¡¯s child is on the spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so, I¡¯m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Though it has been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas to... you
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.
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. You better come on
And take my hand
Cuz 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.
Guess I was born to love you.
Guess I was born to love you.
...etc to FADE
Ooh my honey
You got me workin' day and night
Ooh my sugar
You got me workin' day and night
Scratch my shoulder
It's aching, make it feel alright
When this is over
Lovin' you will be so right
I often wonder if lovin' you
Will be tonight
But what is love girl
If I'm always out of sight (ooh)
(That's why)
You got me workin' day and night
And I'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You say that workin'
Is what a man's supposed to do
But I say it ain't right
If I can't give sweet love to you
(Ah)
I'm tired of thinkin'
Of what my life's supposed to be (well)
Soon enough darlin'
This love will be reality (ah ah)
How can you live girl
'Cause love for us was meant to be (well)
Then you must be seein'
Some other guy instead of me (ooh)
(That's why)
You got me workin' day and night
And I'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(I'm so tired tired now)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
You say that workin' is what a man's supposed to do
But I say it ain't right if I can't give sweet love to you (well, ah)
How can you live girl
'Cause love for us was meant to be (well)
Then you must be seein' (woo)
Some other guy instead of me (ooh)
(That's why)
You got me workin' day and night
(I don't understand it)
And I'll be workin'
From sun up to midnight
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Hold on)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(I'm so tired tired now)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(Girl)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(I'm so tired tired now)
You got me workin' workin' day and night
You got me workin' workin' day and night
(How can I get to you ...)
[Ad-lib to fade]
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
Did you tell me this was over?
There ain't no use talkin' it over
Why didn't you try to tell me sooner?
Didn't you tell me it was over?
Whatever you got, I want
Whatever you want, I'll give to you
Whatever you got, I want
Whatever it takes
I'm willing to do girl
Your eyes speak, your walk is rhythm in motion, hum...
You're too hot to handle
You're full of emotion, girl,
My pride's weak
I can tell I'm standing in line
Again yeah,
When you pass by, guys double take
It's a crime,yeah
Where there's a will there's a way
Even with the games you play
Girl, you've got a one track mind
Make you mine to stay
Whatever you got, I want
Whatever you want, I'll give to you
Whatever you got, I want
Whatever it takes
I'm willing to do, girl
You got me right on your finger tips
But i'm gonna keep my balance, I won't slip
Your sunshine ain't gonna melt my heart, yeah
If you let it shine on me we'll never part
Where there's a will there's a way
Even will the games you play
Girl, you've got a one track mind
I'll make you mine to stay, no, no
Whatever you got, I want
Whatever you want, I'll give you
Whatever you got, I want
Whatever it takes
I'm willing to do, girl
All for one and one for all is what we all should be.
But instead we go and fight each other.
Now, that wasn't meant to be.
You know, the sun is there to light the day.
The night is lit by the moon.
If we don't come together, my brother, it all can end very soon.
It's your world now.
The furture is plain to see.
(Sing it, yeah. Sing it, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Give love right now.
We need the harmony.
Some of us have a heart of stone and feel as cold as ice.
Love can make a change in you, take a wrong and make things right.
If you only knew how it was planned for life to really be,
You would join in, you won't hesitate, you would help bring the harmony.
God made this world for all souls.
Why, tell me why so many obstacles?
Hems the one, hems the only one that knows.
He judges the heart before he saves the soul.
We can change, we can change the world.
Brothers, let's unite; come, let's make evmrything all right.
We can change this world, help this world, oh.
Everybody needs love.
Turn it aloose; don't stop that love.
You know it's time for wakin' up.
It's your world now.
The future is plain to see.
Stop balking, let's get walking.
To make wrong things right, it just don't happen overnight.
Here, when all my work is done
She calls and she says, dear, can I come?
I say to her, that you know our love has gone
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
I say 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
And persuade me in her arms
And how she's callin' 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, 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, you ain't stayin'
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
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'
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'
true love can be beautiful

true love can be beautiful but it takes time
true love can be beautiful but it takes time
People all over the world are the same everywhere I go
I give in to this, I give in to that
Every day it bothers me so
Am I in a bad situation
People taking me to the exteme
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
So he could check it out, he don't know
Took it to a palm reader so she could
Read my hand, she don't know
Five minutes later I started to understand
I started screaming, shouting, acting mad
No one could help me but myself
But I gave everything I had
Chorus:
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 got to stop it
Even though they got a lot of nerve
Am I in a bad situation
People taking 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
So he could check it out, he don't know
Took it to a palm reader so she could
Read my hand, she don't know
Five minutes later I started to understand
I started screaming, shouting, acting mad
No one could help me but myself
But I gave everything I had
Chorus:
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
All you gotta do is dance

There's a system we all must follow
If we wanna get ahead
Some men are strong enough to make it
And others are just too afraid
But mama told me a story
And it keeps, keeps me alive
Said some are weak, the weak fall by the wayside
And all the strong the strong survive
Now you tell me...
How strong is the strength of a man
Can he stay on his road, and carry his load
Can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
We have picked people, and say they're on our side
And after they did everything they want (y'all)
They start to tell us lie, just lie after lie
But we can't blame our problems
On just that chose few
Caues if we wann solve then
It's up to me and up to you
Now you tell me...
How strong is the strength of a man
Can he stay on his road, and carry his load
Can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
can he carry his load
Can he carry his load
Is he strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough
Strong enough, because the road is tough

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)
Put away that shade (?) of sin
And let love shine in€
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)
Put away that shade of sin
And let love shine in€
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....
Reach in (reach in)
Find that tree of wisdom
Reach in (reach in)
Find out why you€™re livin€™
(Etc., etc., - they vamp till the end)
Darling what are you doing
When the sun goes down
There are things we could do
Why don't you come around
There's a party tonight
That you're invited to
It's a party that's just for me and you
Heartbeat to heartbeat
So close together
Let the moment
Carry us away
Turn the lights tonight
The time is right
The perfect night
For a private affair
Close your eyes
Tune out the world outside
Hold me tight it's a private affair
Soft music playing on the stereo
And some rhythm
To take you where you want to go
I promise I won't answer
The telephone
You're with me darling
We're ggonna be all along
Heartbeat to heartbeat
So close together

And I'll give my heart and soul
And hope that you will never let me go
Never had a woman so fine

(Will u love me in return)
And if it's in your heart then show me

Never has my love been so sound
And if you give your heart completely
I will never let you go
And I will love you girl so sweetly
You will never have to worry
Cause I'll always be around

[Repeat and fade out]
I Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.
Even though the pain and heartache
seems to follow me wherever I go,
Though I try and try to hide my feelings,
they always seems to show,
Then you try to say you're leaving me
and I always have to say no,
tell me why is it so.
That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.
Everytime I think I've had enough
and start heading for the door,
There's a very strange vibration
piercing me right through the core,
It says, "Turn around, you fool, you know you love him more and more."
Tell me why is it so.
Don't wanna let go.
Never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo baby.
Never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Oh, I never can say goodbye.
Boy oo oo.
I never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.
I keep thinking that our propblems
soon are all gonna work out.
But there's that same unhappy feeling,
there's that anguish, there's that doubt.
It's the same old dizzy hangup,
can't do with you or without.
Tell me why is it so, don't wanna let you go.
Pretty little se'orita
They come from miles around to see ya
Aah to get your love it's not easy
I hope I'll get a chance to meet you
You know I'm shakin'
Don't drive me crazy
If I cause trouble
Then there's one thing I know...
Hey, hey, hey
Maria my love you're just too much
I don't think they're tough enough
If I have to fight for you all night
Maria you're my love

The best man under pressure
Maria my love... uh
Darlin won't you take me serious

Oooh I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with her
I don't know , I don't wanna share her love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with her
And there's one thing I know...
Hey, hey, hey

The Love You Save
The Jackson 5
Written by The Corporation
Courtesy of Katy Horning
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...
etc to FADE
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
Chorus
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
Listen to me
Chorus
The things I am sayin¡¯ are true
And the way I explain them to you
Yes, to you Listen to me
Chorus
I have seen love make men stagger
Praying their weakness and wound
Their pride
But you won't be touched by its dagger
When you're close by my side
If you'd only believe
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If you'd only believe
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What your love means to me
(And) I will climb with you the mountain
Sail the shining deep blue sea
'Til we find a place where we can go
Where a soul can be free
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If yo'd only believe
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What your love means to me
And if the skly comes
Tumbling down
Raining too hard for you to see
That's the time when you need
Someone around
And who's got a shoulder like me?
Can you tell me what you're feeling now
Open your heart so you can see
In this world there are so many ways
We can get what we need
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If you'd only believe
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What your love means to me
Why should the slky come
Falling down
Why should it rain on you and me
Just remember when you need
Someone around
Who loves you more than me?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If you'd only believe
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What your love means to me
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 a meaning and I have a goal
This feeling inside me now make destiny a hundred years old
Now I understand what is it to be a man
The way you explained to me that day
You said only the right girl can make me feel this way
(Chorus)
Mama, I think I found that girl
Mama, I think I found that girl
Mama, she's that beautiful dream that I dream each night
She's like a bird on the wings of a flight
She's those words left when there's no more to say
She's more sunshine happy end at a perfect day
All this left me find a reason to be alive
The day when you sat me upon your knees
You said only the right girl could be all these things
(Chorus)
You said, ";Son, go and search around
Theres a good girl who's out there to be found.";
(Chorus)
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that
old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
he began to dance around
O
Frosty the snowman
was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh
and play just the same as you and me
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
Frosty the snowman knew
the sun was hot that day
So he said
"Let's run and
we'll have some fun
now before I melt away
" Down to the village
with a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all
around the square saying
Catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
he heard him holler "Stop!"
For Frosty the snow man
had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying
"Don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
" Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
oh, sure don't baby, baby, baby... ooh, ooh
i don't know why i love you
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 you do
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 laugh in my face
lord i know 'cause i feel disgrace
'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 cry
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

Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home.
Never thought that I would hurt so bad.
And ever since the day that I met you, all alone I sit 'cause I'm so sad.
Don't you know this heart, it grieves for you?
There you were, holdin' back your love, tryin' to make me feel real bad, 'cause your love I never had.
I pray to her.
(He loves you)
I needed her
(He needs you)
I told her that
(He wants you)
I want her back
(He loves you).
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Girl, I want your body.

Just come with me and I'll make you feel.
Don't you know, babe, this love is real?
There you were, holdin' back your love,
All alone, you lookin' sad, but I know you want it bad.
Deceivin' me

Do you believe in me?

Why don't you come home with me now.
I can't help the things I do
Tho' they might seem strange to you
Got my mind, just spinnin' round
Inside, outside, upside down
There's an art to all this madness
Tho' it seems insane to you
There's a rhyme to all the reason
In everything I do
Have you any imagination
Of what I'm goin' through
There's art to all this madness
I'm just crazy over you
People just can't understand
They don't think I'm a normal man
So tell me why they walk around
Using half of their brain
You tell me now who's insane
There's an art to all this madness
Tho' it seems insane to you
There's a rhyme to all the reason
In everything I do
Have you any imagination
Of what I'm goin' through
There's art to all this madness
I'm just crazy over you
Art of madness
Art of madness, ooh
Art of madness
I went to the doctor the other day
Just to make sure if I was ok
The diagnosis said I was totally insane
I found out the doctor used half of his brain
There's an art to all this madness
Tho' it seems insane to you
There's a rhyme to all the reason
In everything I do
Have you any imagination
Of what I'm goin' through
There's art to all this madness
I'm just crazy over you
Art of madness
Art of madness, ooh
Art of madness

Down through the chimney with old St. Nick (I said) Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Down through the chimney with old St. Nick
Patter patter pitter patter
Pitter patter patter
Pitter patter pitter patter
Pitter patter patter
Oh Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
Come on Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blixen
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!
Did you read Santa Claus my list?
All the girls you're waiting to kiss?
Mike, that list was only a joke
Too late, Jermaine, he's bringing you mistletoe
But you just want toys and stuff
Yeah, but that's not even half enough
What I want means more than fun
What's that? - Love and peace for everyone
Up on the house top reindeer stand
Waiting for that dear old man
Up to the chimney with gifts to spare
And lots of Christmas joy to share
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Up out through the chimney with old St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Up through the chimney with old St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Up through the chimney with old St. Nick
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn¡¯t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Up through the chimney with old St. Nick

Nobody, no, nobody, said nobody,
No, no, no, nobody to love me like you do,
To love me like you do, to 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.
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 to love me like you do,
To love me like you do, to love me like you do.
Movie star queen, a movie star queen
Can move me not.
Movie star queen, take off the paint, baby,
Whatcha got?
Take me, girl,
Your my desire, honey,
I get steaming hot
Every time you light my fire.
Nobody, no, nobody, said nobody,
No, no, no, nobody to love me like you do,
To love me like you do, to love me like you do.
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 hoot twenty-four hours a day!
Nobody, no, nobody... (repeat to fade)
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la.
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 leaps 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 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...
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 leaps for
How I wish that you were mine.
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la
(repeat to fade)
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
those pretty faces always made you
stand out in a crowd
Then someone picked you from the bunch
one glance was all it took
now it's much too late for me
to take second look
(Chorus)
Oh baby give me one more chance
To show you that I love you
Won't you please send me back in your heart
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
but now since I see you in his arms
I want you back
yes I do now
I want you back
oo oo baby
yeah yeah....naw.... 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
(chorus)
Abuh buh buh buh
ALL I WANT!
Abuh buh buh buh
ALL I NEED!
Abuh buh buh buh.....
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...
etc to FADE
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
(Chorus)
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 outside
heaven¡¯s door
Won¡¯t you let me back in
You¡¯ll never know
What I¡¯ve been through
Let your love shine in again
This time I¡¯ll shine with you
Michael: A buh-buh buh buh-buh
J5: A buh-buh buh buh-buh
Michael: You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before...
Jermaine: Like I before E except after C...
Michael: And why 2 plus 2 makes four
Now now now, I'm gonna teach you...
J5: Teach you, teach you
Michael: All about love, dear...
J5: All about love
Jermaine: Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is reapeat after me.

Tito: Come on, let me love you just a little bit!
Jackie: Come on, let me love you just a little bit!
Jermaine: I'm a going to teach how to sing it out!
Michael: Come on, come one, come on
Let me show you what it's all about!
Reading, writing and arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree
Jermaine: But without the roots of love every day, girl
Michael: Your education ain't complete
T-T-T-Teacher's gonna show you
J5: Show you, show you
Michael: How to get an A!
J5: Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!
Michael: Spell ";me"; ";you";

Or simple as Do re mi
Sing a simple melody
ALL: That's how easy love can be!
now you say... everytime you need some affection
the one you love goes in another direction
you just sit back in a daze and miss him
'cause you know some other lips, he's been kissing
now when you need the love he never showed you come 'round here
and when you need some loving arms to hold you come 'round 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 looking 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 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)
but i'm sure 'nough the one you need (honey, honey)
now, i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
but i'm sure 'nough the one you need (honey, honey)
now, the day, the days, the days you sit round by yourself
he's out fooling round with somebody else
leaving you alone here with nothing to do
he's just waiting till he has time for you
now, when the loneliness gets hard to take, girl come 'round here
and when you need a little tender lover care, girl come 'round here
now, i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
but, i'm sure 'nough the one you need (honey, honey)
now, i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
but, i'm sure 'nough the one you need (honey, honey)
