[Verse 1: Jermaine]
Ah, listen to me, baby
Musical chairs, you see, my dear, ain't ever been my thing
Shuffleboard to me, you see, it just ain't the same
Well, tic-tac-toe has got to go
It truly has become a bore
Checkers games, I've lost my last
And I don't wanna lose no more

[Pre-Chorus: MIchael + Jackson 5]
Now, you can keep on playing hide and seek
And things like blind man’s bluff
But tricks are made for kids, baby
But the name of the game is love, oh

[Chorus]
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games
Or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games
Or take this heart in full?

[Verse 2: Jermaine]
Now I believe in lovin’ hard
Don't care about games or money
I believe in being love rich
So I've never been love poor, honey
Playing the field behind my back
And to my face saying that you're true
That's the game foolish kids
Baby, not for me and you

[Pre-Chorus: MIchael + Jackson 5]
So, don't keep your feelings hid
If you want me, tell me so
Can't you see tricks are made for kids
And these kids have got to go, oh

[Chorus]
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games
Or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games
Or take this heart in full?

[Michael]
Oh, ooh yeah, na na na na, yeah, ooh ooh

[Jermaine + (Jackson 5)]
So, come on, honey, come kiss me and dream
I'm not make-believe (I'm the real thing)
I've got all the riches, baby
And I'm here to please

[Michael]
So, stop your fooling around
Push has come to shove
Throwing out the games of yesterday
Now the name of the game is love, oh

[Chorus]
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games
Or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games
Or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games
Or take this heart in full?
E-ne-me-ne-mi-ne-moe, the choice is yours to pull
Do you wanna keep on playing games
Or take this heart in full?

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.
