This is just a little love song
From me to you
I just wanna say I thank you
For loving me like you do
I'm so happy hear the one song
Just too good to be true
Gonna dedicate this love song, this love song to you

Yesterday my empty heart had nothing to do
But sit alone, and singing the blues
Who'd ever think, I'd change my tune
Well it was easy when I'm with you

I feel the rhythm of the love song
Playing all day long
So take my hand, and we will dance on
While the dance is on
Hey!

Yesterday my lonely heart had nothing to do
But sit alone, and singing the blues
Who'd ever think, I'd change my tune
Well it was easy, when I'm with you

This is just a little love song
From me to you
I just wanna say I thank you
For loving me like you do
Oh baby, when I feel the way I love you
Well you say it too

I love you
I love you
Love song, love song

Oh, baby baby, oh yeah baby
This is just a little love song, love song
From me to you
Won't you sing it too?
My little love song, my love song
My love song to you
Ooh ooh (love song) doo doo doo (love song) doo doo doo
Oooh

The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
