[Verse 1]
When I (when I) had you (had you)
I treated you bad
And wrong, my dear
And girl since
Since you went away

[Hook]
Don't you know I
Sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder
Who's lovin' you

[Verse 2]
I, I, I, I
Should have never ever
Ever made you cry
And girl since
Since you been gone

[Hook]
Don't you know I
Sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder
Who's lovin' you

[Bridge]
Life without love
Is oh, so lonely
I don't think
I don't think
I'm gonna make it
All my life (all my life)
All my life, yeah (all my life)
Belongs to you only
Come on and take it, girl
Come on and take it
Because

{Verse 3}
All
All I can do
All I can do
Since you've been gone is cry
And you, oooh
Will never wonder
And worry your pretty little head
About what I do

[Hook]
Don't you know I
Sit around
With my head hangin' down
And I wonder
Who's lovin' you

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.
