[Intro: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Oh, girl
I can't get ready (Can't get ready for losing you)
Oh oh oh girl
I can't get ready (Can't get ready for losing you)
Ooh hoo hoo hoo (Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo)
No, no, no
I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Girl, I can't get ready (Can't get ready), no, no, no
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Oh, can't get ready (Can't get ready)
No, girl for losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Thought I had your love in the palm of my hands
But I let it slip away from me, girl
And now you're happy with another guy (Happy with him)
Someone who doesn't make you cry (He doesn't make you cry)
And now it's got me shedding tears
Oh girl, how I wish you were here
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
'Cause I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
No, for losing you (Can't get ready for losing you), no, no, no
I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Oh girl, for losing you (Can't get ready for losing you), no, no, no
Can't get ready (Can't get ready), oh girl, for losing you
Losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
Girl, I took your love for granted
I know, I know, I treated you so unkind
And now the shoe is on the other foot
(Now the shoe is on the other foot)
And you don't even take a second look (Take a look)
You told me there would come a time
Oh girl, it's really blowing my mind
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
'Cause I can't get ready (Can't get ready), no, no, no, no, no
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Oh, can't get ready (Can't get ready)
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no
Can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Ooh, for losing you (Can't get ready for losing you), no no no, no no no
(Can't get ready for losing you) No no no, no no no
Ooh, girl, I can't get ready (Can't get ready), no no no
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Can't get ready (Can't get ready), no no no no
