The Best Of Jackson 5

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 (adlib)
(repeat till fade)

Chorus:
(That) I never can say (you) goodbye (girl)
(No, no, no, no) I never can say goodbye( girl)

Even though the pain and heartache
Seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I tried, tried to hide my feelings
They always seemed to show
Then you try to say you

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She's a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

Automatic Systematic
Full of color self contained
Tuned and gentle to your vibes

Captivating Stimulating
She said you sexy lady
Filled with space age design

She's moving
She's grooving dancing until the music stop now
yea

Rythmetic acrobatic
She's a dynamite attraction
At the drop of a coin she comes alive
Yeah
She knows what shes doing
She super bad now
Shes geared to blow your mind

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Do it baby

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

Come on babe
Come on babe
babe
babe
Shake it baby
Shake it babe
babe
babe
babe

Dance

You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there

chorus
And oh - I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on - yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be there to protect you, with an unselfish love I respect you
Just call my name and I'll be there

chorus
If you should ever find someone new, I know he'd better be good to you
'Cos if he doesn't, I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there

(Just look over your shoulders, honey - ooh)

I'll be there, I'll be there, whenever you need me, I'll be there
Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah

I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there...

J5: Stop! Nanana! You'd better save it!
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it!

Michael: When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be It.
But chasing boys was just a fad
You crossed your heart you'd quit.

When we grew up you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back to grade school
You're doing the same old thing!

CHORUS:
Stop! The love you save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone.
You'd better stop the love you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for the danger zone.

Michael: I'm the one who loves you!
I'm the one you need!

Jermaine: Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed!

Michael: They'll ruin your reputation!
They'll label you a flirt!

Jermaine: The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh!

Second verse:
Michael: Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benjie held your hand he felt
E-lec-tri-ci-tee!
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes.
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your times!

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:

J5: Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.

Michael:
S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"
O is for "Oh, no!"
P is for "Please, please, don't go!"

Jermaine: The love you save may be your own...

Michael: Some day you may be all alone...

Jermaine: Stop it!
Michael: Save it, girl!
Jermaine: Or some day you'll be all alone.

Michael: You'd better stop! the love you save may be your own!
Jermaine: Please, please
Or some day, some day baby,
You'll be all alone

Those other guys will put you down as soon as they succeed.

Michael: Stop! The love you save may be your own...

Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
It's not my thing trying to get back
but this time let me tell you where I'm at
You dont have to worry cause I'm comin
back to where I should have always stayed
and now I learned the meaning to your story
and it's enough love for me to stay

Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
Well it's not my thing trying to get back
this time let me tell you where I'm at

I wanna wanna be where you are
I wanna be where you are
I wanna wanna be where you are
Wanna be where you are

Please don't close the door to our future
there's so many things we haven't tried
I will love you nearer than I used to
and give you all the love I have inside

I wanna wanna be where you are
any any where you are
wanna wanna be where you are
I gota gota be where you are
