GET IT TOGETHER (Jackson 5)

Get It Together

YOU BETTER GET IT TOGETHER
OR LEAVE IT ALONE
IF YOU DON'T WANT MY LOVIN'
I'LL BE GONE
GET UP, GET UP, GET UP

(1ST VERSE)
GET UP OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE GIRL
THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOIN', DOIN'
GET UP OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE GIRL
THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOIN' DOIN'

(2ND VERSE)
(I'M SPINNIN' AROUND)
I'M SPINNIN' AROUND
ON YOUR MERRY-GO-ROUND
YOU GOT ME DIZZY, DIZZY, DIZZY, DIZZY, DIZZY

(CHORUS)
GET IT TOGETHER
OR LEAVE IT ALONE
IF YOU DON'T WANT MY LOVIN'
I'LL BE GONE
NOW, NOW BABY

CHORUS

REPEAT 1ST VERSE

I CAN'T STAND ALL THIS CONFUSION
ALL THIS SHUCKIN' AND JIVIN'
KEEPS PUTTIN' ME DOWN, DOWN, DOWN

CHORUS

THINK GIRL, WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'
THROWIN' THIS HEART OF MINE ALL AWAY
OH,THINK GIRL,YOU KNOW I LOVE YA
TO KEEP A LOVE LIKE MINE IS HARD THIS DAY

CHORUS

Don't Say Goodbye Again

Girl don’t you say
Girl don’t you make
Girl don’t you make
Make me cry
Make me cry

You had my life
In the palm of your hand
Why you threw it away
I’ll never ever understand
You took away the best part
The best part of me
You took away, you
How cruel could you be
You’re just another heartache
I’ve got to learn to take
You’re just another habbit
I have to learn to break
Am I alone again
Am I alone again
Am I alone, alone, alone

Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t make me cry, cry, cry
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t make me cry, cry, cry, again
Again, again

The more I try the more you hurt me
Why
Tell me why
Tell me why

I can take an aspirin
For a bad headache
But what pill for loneliness can I take
I can seal to you
Just like cellophane
But I need you, baby
Like a star needs fame
You’re not another habbit
I have to learn to break
Let’s try to patch it up
Before it’s too late
I’m in love with you
I’m in love with you
I’m in love, in love, in love

Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t make me cry, cry, cry
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t say goodbye again
Don’t make me cry, cry, cry, again

The more I try the more you hurt me
Why
Tell me why
Tell me why

Reflections

THROUGH THE MIRROR OF MY MIND
TIME AFTER TIME
I SEE REFLECTIONS OF YOU AND ME

(REFLECTIONS OF)
THE WAY LIFE USED TO BE
(REFLECTIONS OF)
THE LOVE YOU TOOK FROM ME, OH

I'M ALL ALONE NOW
NO LOVE TO SHEILD ME
TRAPPED IN A WORLD
THAT'S A DISTORTED REALITY

HAPPINESSYOU TOOK FROM ME
AND LEFT ME ALL ALONE
WITH ONLY MEMORIES

THROUGH THE MIRROR OF MY IMND
THROUGH THESE TEARS THAT I'M CRYING
REFLECTS A HURT I CAN'T CONTROL

(CAUSE ALTHOUGH YOU'RE GONE)
I KEEP HOLDING ON
(TO THE HAPPY TIMES)
OH, WHEN YOU WERE MINE

(ALL THE LOVE)
ALL THE LOVE THAT I'VE WASTED
(ALL THE TEARS)
ALL THE TEARS THAT I'VE TASTED
ALL IN VAIN

THROUGH THE HOLLOW OF MY TEARS
I SEE A DREAM THAT'S LOST
FROM THE HURT GIRL
THAT YOU HAVE CAUSED

EVERYWHERE I TURN
SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING I SEE
REFLECTS THE LOVE THAT USED TO BE

(REFLECTIONS)
THE LOVE YOU TOOK FROM ME
(REFLECTIONS)
IN YOU I PUT ALL MY FAITH AND TRUST
(REFLECTIONS)
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES MY WORLD HAS TURNED TO DUST
(REFLECTIONS)
THE WAY LIFE USE TO BE
(REFLECTIONS)
THE LOVE YOU TOOK FROM ME

Mama Got A Brand New Thing (Don't Say No)

Sunday morning, I heard Mama pray
From her room I heard her say
"Good Lord, help my son find his way.
Lord, he just a country boy
He thinks the world's a great big toy
There ain't nothing he can't do (if he wants to).

He got himself a part-time job
Saved his money and bought him a guitar
Plays from sunup to sundown (hey, hey, hey).
(He don't wanna) go to school no more,
Won't do his household chores
But I'ma admit, the neighbors dig his sound (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah).

(He) got some some big ideas
Now he's talkin' 'bout leaving here
Going to a place called New York City
He's done told me,
'Mama, got a brand new thing. Don't say no. Let me go.' "

Mama said, "My son, my son, you're only sixteen
I know being a star is your dream
But I think it's time you stop all this foolin', and get to your schoolin'!"
When I'm in a state of frustration
Don't start preachin' that education 'cause
This guitar gon' make me a king

Above everything else, listen!...

Donned from head to toe
First class everywhere we go
Just give me a chance to do my thing

Mama, got a brand new thing. Don't say no. Let me go.
(Got a burnin' down deep inside, I wanna see my name's in lights
Please, please, please, let me go)
I can see it now...

Champagne and caviar
A black limousine, chauffeured car
Trips all around the world
And I have my choice of any girl!
People lined up as far as you can see,
Standing in line just to see me
Money stacked, clean up to the sky
Mom, ain't nothing that we can't buy
Have a little faith in me
And mama, I'm sure that you will see
That your son and his guitar are gonna go far!

Mama, got a brand new thing. Don't say no. Let me go.
Mama...

I gotta brand new thing
(Oh I) Gotta brand new thing (It's alright)

Tell me do you like my thing
(It's alright; I believe I like it; Do you like it)

If you like it, let me see you move
If you like it, let me see you groove
Let me see you move
Let me see you groove
Let's groove

Wait a minute!
I believe I'm ready to give you some help now
(We got a brand new thing, oh, we got a brand new thing)
Here it is!

Mama, got a brand new thing. Don't say no. Let me go.

It's Too Late To Change The Time

In this automatic age
We shop through the Yellow Page
Gone is the corner store
There’s a supermarket there for you
People give way to change
But feelings remain the same

And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
Well, it’s too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
But it’s not too late to change your mind

It’s a new day, a new age
A photograph just taken
Is ready one minute later
Cars are bigger and better
But the man in fact is satisfied never
In a world full of crime
I can’t let you take that ride

And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
But it’s not too late to change your mind, no, no

So you wanna be a star
I really think you are
You don’t have to go further
Than my lovin’ arms

And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
But it’s not too late to change your mind

Are you sure you wanna go to New York City
Where girls make it big if they’re pretty
Let’s say you give that penthouse view
But who’s gonna love you
The way I do

It’s too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
Too late
Too late to change the time
But it’s not too late to change your mind
Too late
Too late to change the time
And it’s too late
Too late to change the time
Too late, too late to change the time

You Need Love Like I Do (Don't You?)


Well, well, well, well
Seems like it was only yesterday
When my mama told me don't fall in love
With the first girl that comes your way
He was handsome and nice
But I took her advice and passed her by
Years have passed and don't look
Like love's gonna give me a second try
Boy the look on your face tells me you understand
could it be your love life's like mine
Needs a helping hand well, well
You need love like I do (don't you).

girl I can tell by the way
You look when I'm looking at you
I know it ain't fit and proper
for a girl to talk this way
But I can't cope with this loneliness
Not one more doggone day
Everyday has been an uphill climb
Keeping my hopes a-float
Judging from your silence girl
You must be in the same boat
ain't it true now
You need love like I do (don't you)
girl I can tell by the way you look
When I'm looking at you
Well, well, well you need love
Like I do (don't you)

(Boy it seems like I'm looking in the mirror
When I'm looking at you
I can't begin to tell
The many nights I sit home lonely
Come on and tell me boy
Has it ever happened to you
Boy I'm gonna tell you something
And believe me it ain't no joke
My love life is just like a sinking boat)NO?????


I can understand a person being without money
But there sho' ain't no reason
For a person to be without love
Listen to me now
I'm a girl and you're a girl
So come on let's give love a try
Tell me lil' bgirl
You need love like I do (don't you)
I can tell by the way you look
When I'm looking at you
Girl finding true love is a dream
That everyone wants to come true
Girl can't you see it's up to us
To make this dream come true oh
