[Verse 1: Jermaine]
Ooh, your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Girl, it's fadin' away from me
'Cause your touch, your touch has gone cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I've fooled myself long as I can
And I can feel the presence of another man

[Chorus]
Girl, when you speak my name, it's just not the same
Ooh, little girl, I'm losing you
It's in the air
It's everywhere
Ooh, baby, I'm losing you

[Verse 2: Jermaine]
When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face I see
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried, girl
'Cause that face doesn't belong to me

[Chorus]
It's all over your face
Someone's taken my place
Ooh, little girl, I'm losing you
It's hard to hide, emptiness you feel inside
Ooh, little girl, I'm losing you

I can tell when we kiss, from the tenderness I've missed
Ah, baby, I'm losing you
I can feel it in my bones, any day you've been gone
Ooh, baby, I'm losing you
Ah, baby, what happened to the love we shared?
Ooh, baby, I'm losing you
I don't wanna lose you, girl; no baby...

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.
