[Intro]
Reach out and touch
Reach out and touch

[Michael]
Darlin' just relax
You melt me like hot candle wax
One touch and my whole body melts
You just say, you say you can't express yourself

[Jermaine + (Jackson 5) + Michael]
Oh, just keep doing what you're doing
Fancy words will only ruin it
(Touch) Touch me
(That very special touch)
If I satisfy you (If I satisfy you)
How can you satisfy me, baby?

[Michael]
Don't you worry baby why
You see these tears of love in my eyes
I feel this love flowing through
Like a river, girl, straight from me to you

[Jermaine + (Jackson 5) + Michael]
Your touch means than words
Than any language ever heard
(Touch) Touch me
(That very special touch)
Every brand new day (Every brand new day)
I wake up wanting you the same ole way

[Jermaine + (Jackson 5) + Michael]
Reach out (Touch) Touch me
(That very special touch)
Yeah, touch (Touch me, touch me, touch me)
That very, very special touch, baby
If I satisfy you (If I satisfy you)
How can you satisfy me?
Reach out (Touch) Touch me, touch me
(That very special touch)
Touch me, touch me, touch me
(Touch, that very, very special touch)
Touch me, touch me
Yeah yeah, if I satisfy you (If I satisfy you)
How can you satisfy me?
Reach out (Touch) Touch me, touch me
(That very special touch)
Touch me, touch me, touch me
(Touch, that very, very special touch)
Touch me, touch me
(Touch, that very, very special touch)

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.
