Michael: When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd.

Then someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took.
Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look.

Chorus:
Oh, baby, give me one more chance

J5: To show you that I love you.
Michael: Won't you please let me

J5: Back in your heart.
Michael: Oh, darling, I was wrong to let you go

J5: Let you go baby
Michael: 'Cause now since I see you in his arms

J5: I want you back
Michael: Yes, I do now

J5: I want you back
Michael: Oo oo baby

J5: I want you back
Michael: Yeah yeah yeah yeah

J5: I want you back
Michael: Now now now now

Trying to live without your love
Is one long sleepless 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 show you now)

[Chorus]

Bridge:
J5: Ah bah bah bah buh
Michael: All I want
J5: Ah bah bah bah buh
Michael: All I need
J5: Ah bah bah bah buh
Michael: All I want
J5: Ah bah bah bah buh
Michael: All I neeeeeeeeeeeed

Jermaine: Oh, just one more chance
To show that I love you, baby!

Michael: Baby!
Jermaine: Baby!
Michael: Baby!

J5: I want you back.
Jackie: Forget what happened then

J5: I want you back.
Jermaine: Let me live again
Michael: Oh, baby, all I need one more chance...

J5: To show you that I love you
Michael: Now since I see you...

J5: I want you back

Maybe Tomorrow

I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly skies
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 too tight I can see
You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do, baby.

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.

Baby, you're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby.

'Cause 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.

You are the book that I read each day (sing it, sing it, sing it, yeah)
You are the song that I sing (sing it, sing it, sing it, yeah)
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.

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.

Oh, ow, baby, baby, I need you, listen to me, girl, yeah
You are the song that I sing
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.

The Day Basketball Was Saved

Peanuts! Popcorn! Peanuts! Popcorn!
The sporting world's had many teams
The fans have called first rate
They had the Yankees in the '40s,
All agreed were really great.
Packers and Celtics piled up records
Hard to beat
But good as they all seemed to be
They tasted of defeat.
No team has ever won them all
And always stayed on top
Except that group of superstars
No team could ever stop.
A bunch of splended athletes
Who all stood strong and tall.
They called themselves the Dream Team
And their game was basketball.

The center, a massive collection of bones
Was known by the nickname of Skyscraper Jones
The forwards were both brilliant ball handlers, too
Named Kangaroo Carson and Dead-Eye McGoo
The guards were two giants who played with great cool
Called Bulldozer Benson and Hookshot O'Toole.

Together they worked like a well-oiled machine
And ran up such scores it was almost obscene.
The team is unbeatable, everyone said
And if no one can beat them, then basketball's dead
Basketball's dead, yes, basketball's dead
No team will beat them, so no team can meet them,
The, it's... the... de... ... dead.

But wait, folks! (Huh, it's not?)
From out of Indiana like bees from a hive
Came a little known team called the Jackson 5.
They came with a mission impossbily tough
To whip the Dream Team till they holler "Enough!"
"We'll razzle your frazzle, we'll muzzle you guys!
"We'll dazzle each one of you right down to size.
"We'll shiver your timbers till all of you fall.
The Jacksons will beat you and say basketball!"

A laugh roars up on the Dream Team's side
And they laughed so hard that they nearly cried
"Go home, little boys, get off the court.
"It's a big man's sport, you're much too short."
"Too short, my foot, that's just your way
"Of saying you're afraid to play."
"Afraid to play? Hear that squirt?
"Go home before you all get hurt."

"We'd like to get just one thing straight.
"We heard you guys was really great.
"But so far all we've heard is talk.
"So are you going to play?
"Or are you going to walk?"

With that the Dream Team got real mad
And blew what little cool they had.
"This time you guys, you've gone too far.
"We'll show you all how good we are.
"We'll play you now but we're so sore
"We may not even let you score."
"Oh yeah?" "Oh yeah?"
"We've heard it all.
"Let's cut the talking. Let's play ball."

So the teams lined up and the ball was tossed
And the game got underway.
And the Dream Team knew from the very first tap
That the Jacksons knew how to play.
They dribbled, they passed, they faked, they shot
They hustled, they drove right on through
And every time that the Dream Team scored
Well, the Jackson 5 scored, too.

When the buzzer went off at the end of the half
The Dream Team wanted to hide
They couldn't believe it was happening
But the score was really tied.

"We've gotta stop those guys
"We've gotta stop 'em quick
"We've gotta realize
"They're looking mighty slick
"We've gotta start our drive
"Or think of some good trick
"Stop the Jackson 5
"They're making us look sick!

"Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!
"Hey, I've got a way
"Let's fill them up with peanuts and popcorn
"And then see how they play.
"Hey, Mr Vendor, listen to me
"Those Jacksons could use some energy
"So pass out the tray and let them grab
"We're such good sports we'll pick up the tab."

"We've got a great attack
"We've got them on the run
"If we can hold them back
"Then we'll be number one
"We have the final lap
"The jump will be reveresed
"Just play the second half
"The way we played the first. Yeah!

"Jackie, come and check the score."
"I'll be right back, guys. Don't leave the floor.
"Peanuts! Popcorn! Have a ball!
"Free of charge, kids. Take it all."
"Free of charge? Is that for real?
"Free of charge!"
"That's some good deal!"
"Maybe we shouldn't!"
"Maybe we should!"
"It may be bad!"
"And it may be good!"
"What if Jackie finds out?"
"Who's going to tell?"
"Then, I guess we might as well!"

So the Jacksons ate till the food was gone
While the cheerleaders cheered the two teams on.

"Re-bop, re-bop, hootie-rootie zackie
"Come on, Dream Team, let's stop Jackie
"Michael, Marlon, Tito, and Jermaine
"We've got the brawn, we've got the brains!"
"Dream Team! Dream Team!
"Fly high, fly high, fly high!

"One two three, ABC, Do Re Mi
"Man Alive! Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho!
Go go go! Jackson 5!

The whistle blew for the second half
The excitement filled the place.
You could tell both teams were all charged up
As they stood there face to face.
They dribbled, they passed, they faked, they shot
They moved with dazzling speed
But the two teams seemed so evenly matched
Neither one could hold the lead.

With 15 seconds left in the game
The Dream team led by one.
They knew if they could freeze the ball
The Jacksons would be done.
Just then the four young Jackson boys
Began to moan and groan
They dropped to the ground with bellyaches
Leaving Jackie standing alone.
"Too much popcorn!" "Too many peanuts!"
"We had too much junk!"
"We're sorry, Jackie, we let you down!
"It looks like the Jacksons are sunk!

The ref called time to remove the boys
"Game's over!" he said. "You're through!"
But Jackie said, "Look, I'll play myself
"If that's what I have to do."
So the ref gave Jackie the ball and said:
"There's time for one more play."
And Jackie said, "Well, that's all I need.
"I know I'll find a way."

Jackie took the ball and started out
Way at the end of the court,
But he still had to get past five of the best
Who ever played the sport.
As the clock kept ticking the seconds away
No mistake could he afford
But he went all the way with a brilliant display
And as the buzzer went off, he scored!

All the fans in the stands went wild
When Jackie won the game
And the Dream Team said he played so well
He belonged in the Hall of Fame.
So the Jackson 5 ended up on top
And we thank them one and all
For not only did they beat the best
They also saved the game of basketball.

Stand

Stand! In the end you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do.
Stand! There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere.

(Everybody say):
Stand! For the things you know are right.
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight.
Stand! All the things you want are real.
You have you to complete and there is no deal.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Oom bah bah bah Oom bah bah bah
Stand! Stand!

Huh! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Stand! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya.

Stand! They will try to make you crawl.
And they know what they're saying makes no sense at all.
Stand! Don't you know that you are free?
Well, at least in your mind if you want to be.

(Everybody say):
Huh! Hah! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya.
Huh! Hah! Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya.

Feelin' Alright

Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause every night I have the strangest dream
Imprisoned by the way it could have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
Oh, I've got to leave before I start to scream
But someone locked the door and took the key.

Feelin' alright? Not feelin' too good myself
Feelin' alright? Not feelin' too good myself.

Twee-twiddly-dee-twiddly-dee-dee
Twee-twiddly-dee-twiddly-dee-dee

Walk On / The Love You Save

Walk on!
Walk on!
Walk on!

Stop! Na na na, you'd better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it

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.

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.

I'm the one who loves you.
I'm the one you need.
Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed.
They'll ruin your reputation.
They'll label you a flirt.
The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh!

Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benjie held your hand he felt
Electricity
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes.
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your times.

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.

Slow down, slow down.
Slow down, slow down.
S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"
O is for "Oh, no"
P is for "Please, please, don't go"

The love you save may be your own.
Some day you may be all alone.
Stop it. Save it, girl
Or some day you'll be all alone.

You'd better stop! the love you save may be your own.
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.
Stop! The love you save may be your own.
