Music / Michael Jackson Lyrics / Looking Back To Yesterday
When I Come Of Age (2:42)
by Michael Jackson (1986)
Where have I been?
What should I be looking for?
What am I gonna be when I come of age?
Will I be strong?
Will I de a mighty man
Climb mountains if I can
When I come of age?
Hey y’all I think I’ll be a movie star
Or travel to some distant star
Yeah that’s it I’m gonna be an astronaut
And rock it to the moon
And then I’ll be the captain of a giant ship
I’m gonna take a long, long trip to far off land
When I become a man
And what about love?
Will you still be in love with me?
I sure hope you will be
When I come of age
And will you be true?
Will you still want to marry me?
I guess I’ll have to wait and see
When I come of age
My folks say I’m too young for love
But they don’t seem to understand
That what I feel is love for somebody
A feeling I understand
And while I’ve fot this feeling
It’s you, girl, you’re so grand
And I’ll love you girl just as strong
When I come of age
Wait, be patient honey
You’ve got to believe in me
Wait, wait for me baby
It’ll be just you and me
We’ll do all the things
We couldn’t do before
When when I come of age
We’re gonna be so happy
When, when I come of age

I Hear A Symphony (3:03)
by The Jackson 5 (1986)
Your givin me true love
And everyday I thank the lord
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting so exciting
Whenever your near
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer, closer to your arms
Then suddenly your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine, still I need a path because
I'm lost in a world
Made for you and me
Oooh...
Baby, Baby
I hear a symphony
Ooooh... baby
Whenever your near
I hear a symphony
Played sweet and tenderly
Everytime your lips meet mine, my baby
Baby, baby
I feel the joy begin
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on now baby
Baby, baby
Those tears that filled my eyes
I cried not for myself
But for those who have never felt the joy of love
Baby, baby
Whenever your near
I hear a symphony
Each time you speak of me
I hear a tender note so sweet of love
Baby, baby
As you stand there holding me
Whispering how much you care
A thousand violins fill the air, now
Baby, baby
Don't let this moment end
Keep standing close to me
So close to me my baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
I hear a symphony

Love's Gone Bad (3:08)
by The Jackson 5 (1986)
Ah I feel a fountain in my brain
Ice-cold water runnin' through my pain
Got a bad taste in my mouth from bitter tears
Heart so sad 'cause love's gone bad
I see a rainbow all in black
Must be a sign that you ain't comin' back
Wake up at night callin' your name
I see a face on my window pane
I've been this way since you've been gone
Without your love I can't go on
Look in the mirror, what do I see?
A cryin' face, kinda looks like me
Now where's the love you promised me?
Where's he tenderness to comfort me?
Everytime some love I choose
I seem to always be the one to lose
Bad taste in my mouth from bitter tears
Heart fells sad 'cause love's gone bad
Love's gone bad, heart fells bad
Black crows flying up above
It's a sign that I live life without love
Slime's on the man, slime's ont the sea
Slime's everywhere I said I'm destined to be
And this world where nothing's right
Since you've been gone I can't sleep at night
You said you'd be true to me
Instead you made a fool out of me
Heart feels sad, love's gone bad
Lonely Teardrops (2:36)
by Michael Jackson (1986)
(Shoo bee doo bop, bop, bow)
(Shoo bee doo bop, bop, bow)
(Shoo bee doo bop, bop, bow)
My heart is crying, crying
Lonely teardrops, my pillow's never dry of lonely teardrops
Come home, come home
Just say you will, say you will
(say you will) say you will, (say you will)
Hey, hey. (say you will)
My heart is crying, crying
Lonely teardrops my pillow's never dry of lonely teardrops
Come home, come home
Just say you will, say you will
(say you will) say you will, (say you will)
Hey, hey. (say you will)
Just give me another chance for our romance
Come on and tell me that one day you'll return
'Cause, every day that you've been gone away,
you know my heart does nothing but burn, crying
Lonely teardrops my pillow's never dry of lonely teardrops
Come home, come home
Just say you will, say you will
(say you will) say you will, (say you will.
Hey, hey. (say you will)
Say it right now, baby
(Say you will.) Come on, come on
Say it right now, baby
(Say you will.) Come on, come on
Say it right now, baby
You're Good For Me (3:16)
by The Jackson 5 (1986)
You're good
You're so good
Every now and then i think about
What my life would be without you
You're good for me
I think of all the lonely days
The lonely nights i went without
You're good for me
If i had to do it (if i had to do it)
Aall over again (all over)
I'll have no life without ya
That's the way i feel about you
Every night i reach to touch
To know you're there is just enough
You're good for me (you're good for me)
It's easy now for me to say
But things could have turned
Out a different way
You're good for me
If i had to do it (if i had to do it)
All over again (all over)
I'll have no life without ya
That's the way i feel about you
Don't ya, don't ya, don't ya, don't ya
(don't ya know) don't ya know
You're good for me (you're good for me)
Don't ya, don't ya, don't ya, don't ya
(don't ya know) don't ya know
You're good for me (you're good for me)
That's What Love Is Made Of (3:27)
by Michael Jackson (1986)
You take sugar and spice
Everything nice
And you got a little girl
You take snakes and snails
Some puppy dog tails
And you got a little boy
That's what love is made of
That's what love is made of
Snakes snails puppy dog tails
Sugar and spice and everything nice
Yeah yeah all right
Something else to do
You take a walk by the sea
Two hearts on a tree
And you got a little gladness
Blue eyes cry
Two hearts say goodbye
And you got a little sadness
That's what love is made of
That's what love is made of
Hearts say goodbye
Eyes start to cry
Heart on a tree
Walk by the sea
Snakes snails puppy dog tails
Sugar and spice everything nice
Yeah yeah all right
One more thing
You take a cruel word spoken
Pride gets broken
And you got a little break-up
You take a little bit of soul
Sweet words being told
And you got a little make-up
That's what love is made of
That's what love is made of
Words being told
With a little bit of soul
Pride gets broken
Cruel words spoken
Hearts say goodbye
Eyes start to cry
Walk by the sea
Snkaes snails puppy dog tails
Sugar and spice everything nice
Yeah yeah all right
If'n I Was God (3:00)
by Michael Jackson(1986)
If'n I was God
Well, just for spite
I wouldn't set the sun at night
'Til everyone was treated right
By everyone else they see
If'n I was God
I’d fix it so without explaining
Folks would know
They'd know what's going on inside
Of everyone else like me
Nobody hurt nobody else
Oh, no, I wouldn't let it be
Nobody have a need to pray
Except for thanking me
If n I was God
I’d make us wise
So everyone could realize
That everywhere beneath the sun
Everyone needs everyone
And, God, that ain't half
What I would do
If'n I were you
Oh yeah
If'n I was God
I'd make us wise
Everybody touch everybody's hand
Oh yeah
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
You got to love everybody, yeah
