[Chorus]
They try to tell us we are too young
Too young to really be in love

[Verse 1]
They say that love is a word
A word we have only heard
But cannot begin to know the meaning of

And yet we are not too young to know
This love will last though years may go

And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
And yet we are not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

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.
