The Jackson 5 Abc Lyrics
1.The Love You Save

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...

Etc to fade


2.One More Chance

Everybody loves the star
When he's on the top
But noone ever comes around
When he starts to drop

But you were someone special
You stuck through thick and thin
But i was much too busy
Trying to shine
To let your love shine in

Let you slip away
I must have been insane
Stop in the name of love
Don't make me live my life in vain

(chorus)
Give me one more chance
That's all i ask of you
Just one more chance
I'll make it up to you
Just one more chance
That's all i ask of you
I'll build you a world for two
I'll make it up to you

Now since i'm all alone
I'm talking to myself
I know you're out there somewhere
Having fun with someone else

But a distant voice of hope
Echo from within, sayin'
(don't give up)
(your ship is comin' in)

Though my ship's alone
I'll play right to the end
I'm crying outside
Heaven's door
Won't you let me back in

You'll never know
What i've been through
Let your love shine in again
This time i'll shine with you

Jermaine: i'm a going to teach how to sing it out!
Michael: come on, come one, come on
Let me show you what it's all about!

Reading, writing and arithmetic
Are the branches of the learning tree

Jermaine: but without the roots of love every day, girl

Michael: your education ain't complete

J5: show you, show you

Shake it, shake it, baby, ooo oooh!
Shake it shake it, baby, huh!
Abc, baby, oo ooo!
123, baby, nah nah!
Do re mi, baby, huh!
That's how easy love can be.

J5: abc
Michael: abc, it's easy

Easy as123
It's like counting up to 3
Or simple as do re mi
Sing a simple melody
All: that's how easy love can be!


4.2-4-6-8


5.come 'round Here I'm The One You Need

Now you say... everytime you need some affection
The one you love goes in another direction
You just sit back in a daze reunising
'cause you know some other lips, she's been kissing

Now when you need the love you never saw you come 'round here
And when you need some loving arms to hold you come 'round here
Now i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
But i know, i'm the one you need (honey, honey)
Say now, i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
But, i know, i'm the one you need (honey, honey)

Your life stands still the minute he goes
You count the hours just hoping he shows

Girl, can't you see while you're looking for his touch (honey,
honey)
That i won't want to love you so much (honey, honey)
And while you're looking for kissing friends (honey, honey)
You're lovely with the tears on your face (honey, honey)

Now when you feel the need to cry to someone cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone lean on me
Now, i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
But i'm sure not the one you need (honey, honey)
Now, i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
But i'm sure not the one you need (honey, honey)

Now, the day, the days, the days you sit round by yourself
He's out fooling round with somebody else
Leaving you alone here with nothing to do
He's just waiting till he has time for you

Now, when the loveliness gets hard to play, girl come 'round
here
And when you need a little chicken lover care, girl come 'round
here

Now, i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
But, i'm sure not the one you need (honey, honey)
Now, i may not be the one you want (honey, honey)
But, i'm sure not the one you need (honey, honey)


6.Don't Know Why I Love You

Oh, sure don't baby, baby, baby... ooh, ooh
I don't know why i love you
I don't know why i love you
I don't know why i love you but i love you
Always treat me like a fool
Kick me when i'm down that you do
I don't know why i love you, but i love you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh you'll never, you'll never stop your cheating ways
With another guy you laugh in my face
Lord i know 'cause i feel disgrace
'cause i love you, oh, baby, baby, baby
I don't know why i love you
I don't know you and me, baby, oh yeah
I don't know why i love you, but i love you, baby
Oh darling, darling, darling, darling ...
You throw my heart down in the dirt
Oh, you make me cry
On this cold black earth, baby yeah
I never knew, i never knew how much i could hurt
'til i love you baby, baby, baby, baby, yeah
Can't stop, i can't stop crying can't you see
Here i'm pleading on my knees, upon my knees, yeah baby, yeah
Won't you help me, help me, please,
'cause i love you, love you, love you, ohh
(you know , baby)
I don't know, we don't know, we don't know
(i don't know why i love you)
I don't know why i love you baby, baby (i don't know, i don't
know)
I don't know why i love you baby, baby...


7.Never Had A Dream Come True

Everybody has something they have to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use look'in back or wonder'n
How it could be now or mighta been
Oh this i know but still i can't find ways to let you go
Chorus
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that i found you
Even though i pretend that ive moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one i think about each day
And i know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

Somewhere in my memory i lost all sense of time
Soon my road can never be 'cause yesterday is all that fills my
mind
There's no use look'in back or wonderin
How it could now or mighta been
Oh this i know but still i can't find ways to let you go

Chorus

You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will you know you will o baby
You'll always be the one i know i'll never forget
There's no use lookin back or wonderin
'cause love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how i try and try i just can't say goodbye
No no no no no

Chorus


8.True Love Can Be Beautiful


9.La-la Means I Love You

Many guys have come to you
With a line that wasn't true
And you passed them by
Are you in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try
No, i don't wear a diamond ring
I don't even know a song to sing

Chorus
All i know is la-la la-la la-la la-la la means, i love you
Oh, baby, please, now
La-la la-la la-la la-la la means, i love you

If i ever saw a girl
That i needed in this world
You are the one for me
Let me hold you in my arms
Girl, and thrill you with my charms
I'm sure you will see
The things i am sayin' are true
Listen to me

Chorus

The things i am sayin' are true
And the way i explain them to you
Yes, to you listen to me

Chorus


10.I'll Bet You
