[Intro: Jackson 5]
(Lookin' through the window)
(Lookin' through the window)
(ah, oh, lookin' through the window)
(look, look, looking through the window)
(Lookin' through the window)

[Verse 1: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
Lookin' through the window
The window to your heart
Oh, baby, yeah
I can see it's cloudy
The rain's about to start

Lookin' through the window
(Lookin' through the window)
It seems I caused your fears
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And that little doubt, girl
(And that little doubt, girl)
And now it's bringing tears
(bringing, bringing tears)

[Chorus: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
(Remember)
Just remember whatever makes you feel that way
Don't you worry 'cause I'm gonna stay
Right by your side (by your side)
To keep on lookin' through the window
Lookin' in your eyes
(lookin, lookin' in your eyes, eyes, eyes)
(lookin, lookin in your eyes, eyes, eyes)

[Verse 2: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
Lookin' through the window
(Lookin' through the window)
Seems like the only way, yeah
(ah, ah)
I can know your feelings
If you still love me today

[Chorus: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
(Remember)
Just remember whatever makes you feel that way
Don't you worry 'cause I'm gonna stay
Right by your side (by your side)
To keep on lookin' through the window
Lookin' in your eyes
(lookin', lookin' in your eyes, eyes, eyes)
(lookin', lookin' in your eyes, eyes, eyes)

[Outro: Jackson 5]
Lookin' through the window
The window to your heart
Ah, ah...
Lookin' through the window
The window to your heart
Za ta ta da da da da ah, da da da da da da ah ah
(Oh, baby!)
Za ta ta da da da da ah, da da da da da da ah ah...

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.
