[Verse 1]
I can't believe that it's real
The way that you made me feel
A burning deep down inside
(A burning deep inside)
A love that I cannot hide

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's you honey baby, yeah
(I know it's you honey baby)
That makes the world go round
And it's keeping me here loving you, baby
Laying all my troubles down

[Chorus]
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand, baby
Oh, show me, here I am, baby

[Verse 2]
Oh, it always ends up this way
(This way, this way, this way)
Me begging you every day
From love that I cannot hide
(From love that I can't hide)
You broke my heart into half

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's you and me baby, yeah
(I know it's you and me, baby)
That makes the world go round
Keeping me here loving you, baby
Laying all my troubles down

[Chorus]
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, oh, come and take me

[Outro]
Ooh, come and take me, oh
Ooh
Here I am, baby, baby, come and take me, ooh-hoo
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby
Here I am, baby, come and take me

Michael Jackson

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.
