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 in his arms
(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 in his arms
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 in his arms
(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!
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...

You went to school to learn girl

Like "I" before "E" except after "C"
And why 2 plus 2 makes 4

Each time you look into my eyes

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)
Got to be there (got to be there)
Got to be there in the morning
When she says hello to the world
Got to be there (got to be there)
Got to be there in her down time
And show her that she´s my girl
Ooo what a feeling there´ll be
The moment I know she loves me
Cause when I look in her eyes I realize
I need her sharing the world beside me
So I got to be there (got to be there)
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And show her that she´s my girl
When she says hello world (got to be there) (got to be there)
I need her sharing the world beside me
That´s why I got to be there (got to be there)
Got to be there where it all begins
And that´s everywhere she goes
I got to be there so she knows
That when she´s with me
Shes home (ooo shes home) (ooo shes home) yea
(Got to be there) got to be there, got to be there
(Got to be there) got to be there, got to be there
(Got to be there) ooh baby, baby, got to be there, got to be there
(Got to be there) got to be there, got to be there
(Got to be there) ooh, got to be there, got to be there
(Got to be there) ooh, got to be there, got to be there
I Wanna Be Where You Are
(T-Boy Ross/Leon Ware)
Ooh
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 don´t have to worry cause i´m coming
Back to where I should have always stayed
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
But this time let me tell you where i´m at
I wanna, wanna be where you are (ooh aah)
Anywhere you are (ooh aah)
I wanna, wanna be where you are (ooh aah)
Everywhere you are (ooh aah)

Theres so many things we haven´t tried

And give you all the love I have inside
Ooh

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I´ll never be alone
And you, my friend will see
You´ve got a friend in me
(You´ve got a friend in me)
Ben, you´re always running here and there
(Here and there)
You feel you´re not wanted anywhere (anywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don´t like what you find
There´s something you should know
You´ve got a place to go
(You´ve got a place to go)
I used to say ´I´ and ´me´
Now it´s ´us´, now it´s ´we´
(I used to say ´I´ and ´me´
Now it´s ´us´, now it´s ´we´)
Ben, most people would turn you away
(Turn you away)
I don´t listen to a word they say
(A word they say)
They don´t see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I´m sure they´d think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(A friend)
Like Ben
(Like Ben)
Like Ben
