[Verse 1: Michael + Jermaine]
Girl, as you walk by
I see the sign so deep inside
I knew it had to be
When you smiled for a little while
I heard the same rhapsody
So lovely and so fair
I knew right then and there
That you were made for me
And it wasn't hard to see
[Chorus: Michael + Jermaine + (Jackson 5)]
Guess I was born to love you
Ooh, guess I was born to love you
(Darling I, I was born to love you
Give my love to no one but you)
This is a man with the future in his hands
Don't let go (Don't let go)
Don't let go (Don't let go)
Baby, don't let go (Don't let go)
(Don't let go)
[Verse 2: Michael + Jermaine]
You better come on
And take my hand, 'cause I can't understand
This feeling in my soul
But I know that I would rather die
Than to let this feeling go
Oh, now, girl, can you see
That this was meant to be?
It's funny but it's true
[Chorus: Michael]
Guess I was born to love you
I guess I was born to love you, ah yeah
Guess I was born to love you, darlin' I, ah yeah...
