Doo doo, doo doo loo loo loo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo loo loo loo, doo doo, doo doo

[Michael]
I never, never had a dream come true
In my every daydream
I'm loved by you

[Jermaine]
And we're free as the wind, ah yeah
And true love is no sin
Therefore men are men, not machines

[Michael]
I never, never had a dream come true
Without you, the world out there
Is painted shades of blue, yeah

[Jermaine]
Since our roads never cross
I work just to please the boss
Think I might as well get lost in my dreams

Doo doo, doo doo loo loo loo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo loo loo loo, doo doo, doo doo

[Michael]
I never had a dream come true
I guess I'm gonna, I'm gonna dream you about you, baby
My whole life through, yeah

[Jermaine]
Seems my folks are ashamed, ah yeah
Said I ain't worth a thing Lord, Lord
But I'm glad I am chained to my dreams

Doo doo, doo doo loo loo loo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo loo loo loo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo loo loo loo, doo doo, doo doo...

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.
