[Intro: The Jackson 5]
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
It's so poor, boy, to hurt his girl
And to watch her walk away cryin’ (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
When all along, you know he's wrong
To be so hard on a girl that's tryin’ (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I was so unkind to hurt you so
Goin' out of my mind, I just gotta let you know, yeah

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson, The Jackson 5]
I remember you said you would always care
Until death should we will part (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And it surely must be my destiny
To die one day after a broken heart (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
So before I become a wandering rover
Let's get together and talk things over

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding

[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson & Michael Jackson]
That's all it is
Baby, let’s talk it over, ah yeah
(Please)

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
You love him so long that it just seems wrong
That our love should never be
You could be anywhere, baby, I wouldn’t care
If I thought that you needed me
All the chains in the world couldn't hold me
Like a robot your love controls me (Yeah)

[Chorus: The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson]
Baby, I can’t let you go (Baby)
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
(Let's talk it over)
It's just a little misunderstanding
Baby, I can't let you go (Please forgive me)
I realize I hurt you so (Let’s talk it over)
Our love surely can be mended (Please forgive me)
It's just a little misunderstanding (Let's talk it over)
(Let's talk it over)

[Chorus: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
Baby, I can't let you go (Please forgive me)
I realize I hurt you so (Let's talk it over)
Our love

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.
