Songwriter: Bobby Taylor

Producer: Bobby Taylor

Hmmmm
I can’t believe girl you are gone
After we’ve been in love so very long
We were very much in love and that’s all you’re thinking of

Ooh baby now you’re leaving me
I had many plans for two, I thought I could depend on you
Ooh, baby I guess we’ll never be
Should I let my feelings stay (should I let them fade away)

I thought our love was her to stay (never knew it'd be this way)
I can’t believe, girl, you are gone
After we’ve been in love so very long
You were once so very kind, enjoyed to ease my troubled mind

Ooh baby now you’re leaving me
The touch of your hand, a smile on your face since you’ve been gone girl
I hardly know my place
Oh, should I let my feeling stay (should I let them fade away)
I thought our love was here to stay (never knew it'd would be this way)

I can’t believe girl you are gone
After we’ve been in love so very long
We were very much in love, and that’s all I’m thinking of
Ooh, baby, now you’re leaving me

I had many plans for two, I thought I could depend on you
Ooh, baby, I guess we’ll never be
After you leave, girl, after you’re gone
Oh after you leave, girl, oh, after you’re gone
Oh, after you leave girl, oh, after you’re gone …

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.
