[Chorus: MIchael + (Jackson 5)]
Can you remember (Can you remember)
When we were babies (Babies)
We were always together
When we were in kindergarten (Kindergarten)

[Verse 1: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
But now that you are grown
So girl you left me all alone
And you know I'll never find
No one to call my own
So girl, I love you (I love you)
Don't you know I love you (Don't you know I love you)
(I sure do, like for you)
Like for you (To remember if you can)
Hey, can you remember
(The time we had and the time we shared)
And the time we shared
(Sitting together in the grass)
In the grass, yeah

[Chorus: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
Can you remember (Can you remember)
When we were babies (Babies)
We were always together
And our love had no end (Had no end)

[Verse 2: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
The sunny skies are blue
So girl, you know that I love you
And I'll always promise you
That this is what I'll do
So girl, I love you (I love you), I love you
Don't you know I love you (Don't you know I love you)
(I sure do, like for you)
Like for you (To remember if you can)
Hey, can you remember
(The time we had and the time we shared)
And the time we shared
(Sitting together in the grass)
Can you remember (I sure do, like for you)
Like for you (To remember if you can)
The time we had (The time we had)
And the time we shared (And the time we shared)
(Sitting together in the grass)
We're sitting in the grass, playing in the grass...

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.
