[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Ah take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby

[Verse 1]
I thought the grass was green on the other side
Thought the sun shone brighter without saying goodbye
There is a card in my hand
Tears fall like rain
I want to come home again
I want you to

[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That is with you baby
Ain't no love in this world
Ain't no love in this world without you

[Verse 2]
In my search to find myself
I saw your face and nothing else
Every place I go with everything I do
I still feel the need for you
Come on and

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I am on my way back to you
And I want to make it up to you
And all the problems that I caused you
If it takes my life I will make it up to you
I just want you to take me, take me
Take me, take me, take me, take me

[Outro]
Take me back, forgive me
Take me back where I belong
If you can, if you can find it
In your heart to forgive me

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
