Man’s TemptationThe Jackson 5

Producer: Bobby Taylor

One more time to test the will power of me
These feelings that I hold now just won't let me be
Oh, this woman won't leave me alone
She's trying to ruin my happy home with a man's temptation, yeah

Now I've got another back home who's the beat of my heart
But I never thought no one else could ever tear us apart
To each other we have been so true
Until alas come a love like you with a man's temptation, yeah

I know I've got to be strong
I've got to fight this all along, yeah
So afraid for what I must do
I've got to take my woman or you

I've got a feeling telling me, let your heart be your guide
But I don't want to lose either one which makes it hard to decide
And though my mind continues to roam, yeah
My heart, it stays at home controls my temptation, yeah

I'm sorry little miss that's the way it is
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I can't stay, I must be on my way
Do, do, do, do, with a man's temptation, yeah
With a man's temptation, with a man's temptation

When a man needs a pretty woman
It makes him, it makes him want
To shout just a little bit like this

With a man's temptation
A little bit louder now
With a man's, with a man's

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.
