True love can be beautiful

Searching
Been looking everywhere
Soon I'll find you, girl
I know I'm getting closer now
Can't wait to hold you, girl

The day I find you, girl, you'll love me

Hey, girl
When you're in my arms you'll want to keep for me
I'm sure
‘cause my love's that strong you'll be too weak to leave me

The day I find you, girl, you'll love me

Each day I try harder
With faith and confidence
I know I'll get you

True love can be beautiful but it takes time
True love can be beautiful but it takes time

So close
I can still feel your heartbeat but you're not here
But my searching is all over now that you're growing near

Today I finally found you, girl, and you love me

You're here in my arms
Where you'll stay today
Always...
Always...

True love can be beautiful but it takes time
True love can be beautiful but it takes time

Today I found you, girl
You love me

True love can be beautiful but it takes time
True love can be beautiful but it takes time

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.
