Music's Takin' Over (4:36)
by The Jacksons (1977)
Music is a teacher
That can teach you right from wrong
’Cause if you listen closely, well
There’s the lesson in the song
Music is a doctor
That can cure a troubled mind
Listen to the music, say it again
The rhythms and the rhymes
’Cause music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Just give music a chance, say it again
Music is a comfort
When you’re all alone
Just turn up your music
And you don’t need nobody home
Music is a power
People depend on every day
They make their decisions
By the records that they play
Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Just give music a chance, say it again
Let’s dance, let’s dance, let’s dance, let’s dance
Let’s dance, let’s dance, let’s dance, let’s dance
(Music is a sound)
(That makes the boys and girls get down)
(Music is a sound)
(That makes the boys and girls get down)
Listen to the music
Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Music makes you dance
Music’s takin’ over
Well, well, well
Music is a message
There’s a message in the song
Get it on, get it on, get it on

Different Kind Of Lady (3:36)
by The Jacksons (1977)
If you want me
I’ll be there in a flash
If you need me
Well that’s different at last
Say it
No delaying
’Cause everything I do
Is always up to you
Got me singing
You got me singing
I’m here to please you
In every way I can
To prove to you
That I’m the only man
Trying
No denying
’Cause everything I do
Is always up to you
Got me singing
You got me singing
I searched this world
For a different kind of girl
Caught myself going girl shopping
And no matter what I do
I keep running back to you
Saying
(You’re all mine)
(Different kind of lady)
Why I love you
In case you’d like to know
’Cause you’re a lady
And that’s a different show
You’re meant for me
That makes it different, you see

Even Though You're Gone (4:35)
by The Jacksons (1977)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Things don’t look as bad
As they did yesterday
Every minute I get stronger
Somehow, some way
’Cause I gotta keep on living
I got the will to survive
Even though I feel so bad
So bad inside
(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
All the plans I had
I’ve got to give them up
And start anew
Making plans for one
Instead of making plans for two
From now on I’ll be thinking
Thinking ’bout myself
It’ll be a long, long time
Before I love somebody else
(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
I depended on you
For everything
Oh, I really trusted you
How could you do me
The way you did
Oh, you really let me down, yeah
(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Gotta keep living on
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Got to move on, yeah
(She’s gone away)
(She’s gone away)
She’s gone away
(She’s gone)
Gotta keep moving one
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Though you’re gone, yeah
Though you’re gone
I gotta keep moving on
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Though you’re gone
Jump For Joy (4:34)
by The Jacksons (1977)
People have misunderstandings
Of what life is all about
They put values in the wrong things
And in happiness they lose out
’Cause being happy is a feeling
This is all a frame of mind
And every moment you feel sad and blue
You could be having a real good time
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, you’ll fell better
And have the best time you ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had
Do it, do it, do it, do it
There is no sense in worrying
’Cause that won’t solve a thing
Chances are whatever’s worrying you
Is not as bad as it seems
Being down won’t last forever
’Cause nothing stays the same
You will have a bright tomorrow
There’s always sunshine after rain
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I know you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I know you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had
You just got to, you just got to
Come on, yeah, come on, yeah, yeah
Why don’t, why don’t
Why don’t you jump for joy
Why don’t you jump for joy, yeah, come on
Why don’t, why don’t
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you’ve ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy
Come on
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you’ve ever had
Heaven Knows I Love You (3:59)
by The Jacksons (1977)
[Chorus]
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more
People always stare at us
When we are together
We laugh and joke and
Have a ball
We're friends and that makes
It better
We respect each other too
I was very lucky the day
I found you
[Chorus]
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more
I've found a little place for us
To go and be alone
Let's fix it up the way we want
And call it home sweet home
Our love is priceless
It's so rare...so good
We believe in the same things too
Oh I was so lucky the day
I laid my eyes on you
[Chorus]
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more
Man Of War (3:13)
by The Jacksons (1977)
[Chorus]
Man of war
Don't go to war no more
Why don't you
Why don't you study peace
Man of war
Don't go to war no more
Study peace
Cause peace is what we need
You think your way
Is the best way for all
You don't know everything
You don't know it all
You got respect a man
For the way he feels
You can't make people do
Things against their will
[Chorus]
Just because your army
Gives you strength and might
Truth is gonna win...wrong will
Never conquer right
Every man has the right to
Think and be free
You're like a spoiled brat
You want everything you see
You think you bombs guns, and planes
Make you a big man
When you invade
Another man's land
Tryin' to make him be what
You want him be
Tryin' to make him do
What you want him to
Tryin' to make him say
What you want him to say
I know there's got to
Be a better way
You think your way
Is the best way for all
You don't know everything
You don't know it all
You got respect a man
For the way he feels
You can't make people do
Things against their will
[Chorus]
Do What You Wanna (3:32)
by The Jacksons (1977)
[Chorus]
Do what you wanna
And do it
Whenever I convince you
Stick to it
Keep on striving
Towards your goals
If it's right
Don't let it go
Live the life
You wanna live
Don't be phony
Just be real
People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else
[Chorus]
Don't let nobody
Fool you around
Tryin' to turn your life
Upside down
Just be strong in your field
And when you reach the top
Happily you will live
People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else
I'm telling you people-be yourself
Don't be nobody-nobody else
[Chorus]
Find Me A Girl (4:35)
by The Jacksons (1977)
I got to find me a girl
I got to find me a girl
Somebody who
Can make all my dreams come true
Somebody soft and warm
I know just what I want
I’ve been searching everywhere
Can’t seem to find her anywhere
Could it be you

Somebody true
To make all my lonely nights
A thing of the past
Someone to make everything all right
Got to find me a girl
Find me a girl

Somebody soft and warm

Got to do it
And when I find her

Say yeah

Gonna find her, yeah
