I Want You Back (2:58)
by
The Jackson 5 (1971)
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always make you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance is all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
Oh baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I've seen you it is on
(I want you back)
Oh I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(I want you back)
Na na na na
Trying to live without your love is one long sleepness night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl I didn't even want around
Let me tell ya now
Oh baby, all I need is one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me back in your heart
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I've seen you it is on
All I want...
All I need...
All I want!
All I need!
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby baby baby baby baby baby!
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
And let me live again!
Oh baby, I was blind to let you go
But now since I've seen you it is on
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cost
(I want you back)
Give me back what I lost!
Oh baby, I need one more chance, hah
I'd show you that I love you
Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh!
I want you back!
I want you back!

Never Can Say Goodbye (3:08)
by The Jackson 5 (1971)
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no... I
I never can say goodbye
Even tho' the pain and heartache seem to follow me wherever I go
Tho' I tried and tried to hide my feelings then always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me and I always have to say no
Tell me why is it so?
But I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
Ev'ry time I think I've had enough and start heading for the door
There's very strange vibrations, piercing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool you know you love her more and more
Tell me why is it so?
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, baby,
(don't wanna let you go, girl)
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no
Ohh, I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, ohh,
(don't wanna let you go, baby)
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no,
Ohh
Never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feelin' there's that anguish, there's that doubt
It's that same old dizzy hang-up can't do with you or without
Tell me why is it so?
Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, baby,
(baby)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no
Ohh, I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, ohh,

I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no,
Ohh

King of fools they crowned me
And the crown just fits me to a "T"
'Cause you only come around me
Just to pick up what you need
You just play on my emotions
With please, please, pretty please
Well everybody's got the notion

Maybe Tomorrow (4:46)

I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven is here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
The way.. you do baby
Thank you, thank you baby
My beautiful bird you have flown away
I held you to tight, I can see
You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
Chorus:
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song That I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow, you'll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow, you'll come back to my arms girl
(Maybe she won't)
Maybe
You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
Chorus:
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song That I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow, you'll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow, you'll come back to my arms girl

She's my sunshine
At the end, of a perfect day
Jermaine: All this lets me find
J5: Let's me find
Jermaine: A reason to be alive
J5: To be alive

Rockin' Robin (2:34)
by Michael Jackson (1973)
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Chorus :
Rockin' robin, rock rock
Rockin' robin'
Blow rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings singing go bird go
Chorus
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them how to do the bop and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriol
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
