Michael Jackson Pure Michael:Motown A Cappella Lyrics
1.I Want You Back

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 it is on
(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 it is on

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 it is on
(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!


2.ABC

You went to school to learn girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like 'I' before 'E' except after 'C'
And why 2 plus 2 makes 4
Now, now, now

Teach you, teach you
All about love girl
All about love
Sit yourself down, take a seat
All you gotta do is repeat after me

Come on and love me just a little bit
I'm gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me tell you what it's all about
Reading, writing, arithmatic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But without the roots of love everyday girl
Your education ain't complete
Tea-Tea-Teacher's gonna show you
(She's gonna show you)
How to get an 'A'(na-na-na-naaaaaa)
How to spell 'me', 'you', add the two

3.The Love You Save

Stop! Nanana! 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
E-lec-tri-ci-tee!
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...


4.I'll Be There

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

5.Never Can Say Goodbye

Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no...

Tell me why
Is it so

That I
Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Evertime I think I had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
That pushes me right to the core
It says turn around you foole
You know you love her more and more

Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let yo go

I never can say goodbye
Oo oo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo

Oh, I never can say goodbye
Oo oo, I never can say goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo

I keep thinkin that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling and
there's that anguish,there's that doubt
It's that same old did ya hang up
Can't do with you all the time

Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let you go

I never can say goodbye, girl
Oo oo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo

Oh, I never can say goodbye, girl
Oo oo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo

Oh no, I never can say goodbye, girl
Oo oo, baby
I never can say goodbye
No no no
No no no, oo

8.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
Bring her good times
And show her that she's my girl
Oh 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 her world beside me

So I've got to be there
Got to be there in the morning
And welcome her into my world
And show her that she is my girl
When she says, 'hello world!'
I need her sharing the world beside me

That's why I've got to be there
Got to be there where love begins
And that's everywhere she goes
I've got to be there so she knows
That when she's with me, she's home

Got to be there
Got to be there


9.Rockin' Robin

He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin and a-boppin and singing his song
All the little birdies on jaybird street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Rockin robin, rock rock
Rockin robin
Blow rockin robin
cause were really gonna rock tonight

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin their wings singing go bird go

Rockin robin, rock rock
Rockin robin
Blow rockin robin
cause were really gonna rock tonight

Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them how to do the bob and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriol

He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin and a-boppin and singing his song
All the little birdies on jaybird street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Rockin robin, rock rock
Rockin robin
Blow rockin robin
cause were really gonna rock tonight

Lyricist:Don BlackWalter ScharfThe Corporation TM
Writer(s):Don BlackWalter Scharf
Mixing:The Corporation TM

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
I don't listen to 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
