Give me
Give me
Give me

Give me half a chance
Oh your life's gonna have a meaning
Yes it will
Why don't you, give me half a chance?
Give me half a chance
I'll prove my love to you, it's true
Come on and, give me half a chance
Oh, I'm gonna win you over, yes I will
If you would, give me half a chance
Give me half a chance
There's so much I would do, for you

Love put, love put us two together
But we don't know how to stay
Give me half a chance
If you'll just wait and see
Give me half a chance
Your heart will be set free
Give me half a chance
For I know that you'd want me
If you could only
Give me half a chance, give me half a chance
Give me half a chance, give me half a chance

Girl, I'm gonna win you over, yes I will, and oh

Love put, love put us two together
But we don't know how to stay
Give me half a chance
If you just wait and see
Give me half a chance
Your heart will be set free
Give me half a chance
For I know that you'd want me
If you'd only
Give me half a chance, give me half a chance
Give me half a chance, give me half a chance

Give me, give me, give me
Give me half a chance
Why don't you?
Give me, give me, give me
Give me half a chance

Why don't you?
Give me, give me, give me
Give me half a chance
Why don't you give me?
Why don't you give me, baby?

Oh, give me, give me, give me
Give me half a chance

Why don't you give me, give me, give me
Give me half a chance

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.
