The Jackson 5 Third Album Lyrics
1.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
Just call my name and i'll be there

I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you, i'm so glad that i found
you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, i'll keep holding on

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all i'm after
Whenever you need me, i'll be there
I'll be there to protect you, with an unselfish love that
respects you
Just call my name and i'll be there

If you should ever find someone new, i know he'd better be good
to you
'cause if he doesn't, i'll be there
Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, i'll be there, just call my name, i'll be there

(just look over your shoulders, honey - oo)

I'll be there, i'll be there, whenever you need me, i'll be
there
Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah

I'll be there, i'll be there, just call my name, i'll be
there...

3.Oh How Happy


4.Bridge Over Troubled Water

Ooh,
When you're weary feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry then all
I'm on you side
Oh, times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
Oh, and darkness come
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Ooh

I will lay me down
Sail on silver
I will lay me down
Sail on silver, girl
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Ooh

I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Ohh, ohh, ooh
Like a bridge over troubled water

(bum, bum, bum, bum)
You send cold chills
Up and down my spine
We kiss for thrills

That love ain't right
But don't you know
Good lovin' is the spice of life yeah

(chorus)
Mama's pearl, let down those curls
Won't you give my love a whirl
Find what you been missin'
Ooh, ooh, now baby
Goody girl, let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don't keep me wishing

(bum, bum, bum, bum)
You want my lovin' yes you do, do, do
You know my lovin' is true, true, true
Now baby

But your conscience tells you
That love is wrong
But just a little lovin' never hurt no one, oh

Let all it hang (girl, don't be afraid)
(oh, we've got the first step made)
(ooh, the rest is up to you)

Let yourself just oh now, now no
Let your lovin' go now, now
Just give it to me

Let's fall in love, let's fall in love

Find out what you're missin'
Goody girl lay down your curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
