[Intro: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
Can I see you (can I see you)
In the morning (in the morning)
Can I see you (can I see you)
In the morning (in the morning)

Can I see you in the morning
Like I see you late tonight
Come and hold me
Come and hold me
Come and make me feel alright
In the morning
Can I see you in the morning?

Can I see you in the morning
Once I get down on my knees
Come and take me
Come and take me
Do with me just what you please
Just a short walk in the sunshine
In the open side by side
Chance to hold you
Chance to hold you
Chance to hold my head up high
In the morning

They say you're too old for me
But I know you said that you'll wait for me, wait for me, oh

Can I, see you, in the morning sun, shining bright?

I wanna see you
I wanna see you

Can I, see you, in the morning sun, shining bright?

Can I see you?
Can I see you?

[Outro: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
(Can I see you) In the morning
Can I see you (Can I see you)
In the morning (in the morning)
In the morning (in the morning)
Can I see you (Can I see you)
In the morning (in the morning)
Can I see you (Can I see you)
In the morning (in the morning...)

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.
