When I had you to myself I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
Wen someone picked you from the bunch
One glane was all it took
Now it's much to late for me to take a second look

Oh, baby give me one more chance(show that I love you)
Won't you please let me (back in your heart)
Oh, darling I was Blaind to let you go(let you go baby)
But now that I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Yes I do now(I want you back)
Ooh ohh baby (I want you back)
Yeah,Yeah,yeah yeah(I want you Back)
Na,Na,Na,Na

You went to school to learn, girl
Things You never never knew before
I before E exaept after C
And why two plus two makes four
Now Now Now I'm going to teach all about love yeah
Sit Youself down take a seat
All you have to do is reapeat after me
Abc it's easy as 123
Siple as Do, Re, Mi,ABC,123, baby you and me
Sit down girl i think I love you
No get up girl show me what you can do
Abc baby,123 baby,Do re MI baby

That's how easy love can be

Stop You better Save Me
Stop stop stop you better save me
When we played tag in grade school you wanted to be it
But chasing boys was just a fad you crossed your heart you'd quit
When we grew up you traded you promised for my ring
Now just like back in grade school you're doing that same old thing
Stop the love you save may be your own
Darling take it slow or someday you'll be all alone
Better stop the love you save may be you own
Darling look both ways before you cross me
You're heading for the danger zone
Hold on (X4)
S is for save me
T is for take it slow
O is for Oh, no
P is for please please don't go

Love you save may be your own someday you may be all alone save me girl

STOP!

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.
