The Jackson 5

Released: September 18, 2012

Oh (oh)
I woke up from a dream loving you, loving me
Oh how real this seemed to be baby, (baby)
I see you clear in my dream each night
But you disappear when I rub my eyes

My sweet love lonely my heart is I need love my life is darkness
Someone standing in my love light, (where) where are you baby
Someone standing in my love light, (where) where are you baby

My sweet love lonely my heart is I need love my life is darkness
Someone standing in my love light, (where) where are you baby
Someone standing in my love light, (where) where are you baby

I can’t sleep, I close my eyes and visualize the way you look
The way you feel, the way you steal your way into my heart
Dreams – I’m just holding on to dreams, but baby
I know you’re out there somewhere

Where are you girl?
Are you just across the street?
Or clear across the world?
Ooh my sweet love lonely my heart is I need love my life is darkness

I can’t sleee-ep
Someone standing in my love light, (ooh) where are you baby
Someone standing in my love light, (ooh where are you baby)
I keep reaching out but I can’t find you

Someone standing in my love light, (where, where are you baby)
Someone standing in my love light, baby
Someone standing in my love light, (where, where are you baby)
Someone standing in my love light, baby
Someone standing in my love light, (where) where are you baby
Someone standing in my love light, baby

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.
