The Jacksons

It was on the street so evil, so bad that even hell disowned it.
Every single step was trouble for the fool who stumbled on it.
Eyes within the dark were watchin' I felt that sudden chill of danger.
Something told me to keep on walkin' told me I should not have gone there.

Baby, because you cut me like a knife without your love in my life.
I'm out, I'm walkin' the night 'cause I just canmt stop this feelin'.
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture.

She was up a stair to nowhere.
A room forever I'll remember.
She said as though I should have known her,
Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?
Every little thing you find here is simply for the thrill you're after.
Loneliness or hearts on fire.
I am here to serve all masters.

She said Reality is a knife when there's no love in your life.
Unmerciful is the night when you just can't stop this feelin'.
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture.

And I still can't find the meaning of the face I keep on seeing.
Was she real or am I dreaming?
Did the sound of your name turn a wheel, strike a flame in me?

Baby, because you cut me like a knife without your love in my life.
I'm out, I'm walkin' the night and I just can't stop this feeling.
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture.

She said Reality is a knife when there's no love in your life.
Unmerciful is the night when you just can't stop this feelin'.
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture.

How come you tell me that we have to get away?
But girl you can't be found.
We'll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysees
When ever you come around.
There's been a breakdown, breakdown.
Don't change your mind on me.
Just take a little time.
You say the finer things are just worth waiting for.

Just gimme some kind of sign, baby.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer, I canmt wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back me tears any longer, longer.

Sometimes I think of all the moments that we shared.
I been waiting for so long.
You know it hurts me every time you run and hide.
I look up and now your gone.
I been put down, weighed down.
There's no tomorrow for me.
We can't let love just fade away, baby.

I can't wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.

Well, I've been longing for you deep inside.
And I tell my self, baby, baby if this love of ours will survive,
Then let's take this chance together, together, baby we'll know.

I just can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer, longer.
I can't wait, wait for a hundred years.
Can't hold back my tears any longer.

You pushed my heart around, tore me up inside, made me feel so bad.
You took away my pride.
I keep waiting, waiting for a hundred years.
I can't hold back my tears any longer.
I can't hold back my tears any longer.

Just remember everything I tell you.
Sorry for the pain and I have caused you.
You know it's true, I want to stay.
I know you tried to make it what it should have been.
You were there to help me when I couldn't have been.
I don't know what ever came over me.

Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.

Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.

I just want to do half of what you do.
And I know it seems so strange of me to say this.
If there is a hundred ways to say it, all in one it means don't go away.
Everybody's goin' around tellin' you lies.
They don't know how hard I've tried.
You know it takes the pressure for me to see.

Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme one more chance for me.

Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.

If you could read my mind how wonderful it would be.
Love is hard to find, and what it means to me is so divine.

Gimme that one more chance
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.

Gimme that one more chance.
Remember all that we've planned.
Gimme that one more chance for me.

Gimme that one more chance.
I want to prove it
Remember all that we've planned
I know we can do this
Gimme that one more chance for me.

Gimme that one more chance.
Love's my playground
I realise I let you down
Gimme one more chance for me.

Say you love me.
Say you love me.
I want you to say it, say it,-acapo

Always be not always and if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please be not always.
And if always, bow our heads in blame.
'Cause time has made promises, just promises.

Faces, did you see their faces?
Did they touch you?
Have you felt such pain?
To have nothing, to dream something, then lose hoping.
Is not life but lame?
But time has made promises, just promises.

Mothers cry, babies die helplessly in arms while rockets fly and research lies in progress to become.

But what of men are flesh and blood?
We turn our backs on life.
How can we claim to stand for peace when the race is armed in strife, destroying life?

Always, be not always.
But if always, bow our heads in shame.
Always, please, be not always.
'Cause if always, bow our heads in blame.
'Cause time has made promises, just promises.
Death promises.

Come on baby.
You gotta be mine,
'Cause your so fine.
I like your style.
It makes me wild.
You take it to me good.
You like it;
Know you should.
You get me on my knees.
Well, please, baby, please.

Listen:
She looks so great.
Every time I see her face, she puts me in a state, a state of shock.

She put me on my knees.
Please, baby, please.
I know you like to tease.
Please, baby, please.
You take it to me good.
You like it;
Know you should.
I love the way you walk,
And talk, baby, talk.

Listen:
She's so great.
Ev'ry time I see her face, she puts in a state a state of shock.

Now come over here,
(No come over here)
Talk, talk to me
A state of shock.
You put me in
You know I really love you baby
A state of shock

You know I really want you mama, you got me paralysed
(You got me paralysed)
You got me catatonic
(You got me catatonic, baby)
You got me supersonic
(You got me supersonic, baby)
Baby, you know I'm deep fried
(You know I'm deep fried)
A state of shock

Yeah, look what you've done to me look what you done to me look what you done to me.
Yeah, I can hardly move
(A state of shock)
You know I need mouth to mouth resuscitation come on baby.

You know I really love you baby
State of shock
You know I really want you mama yeah baby, yeah baby
Just look at me, look at me
State of shock
You got me in you got me in a state of shock you got me in, look at me look at me, look at me.

All for one and one for all is what we all should be.
But instead we go and fight each other.
Now, that wasn't meant to be.
You know, the sun is there to light the day.
The night is lit by the moon.
If we don't come together, my brother, it all can end very soon.

It's your world now.
The furture is plain to see.
(Sing it, yeah. Sing it, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
Give love right now.
We need the harmony.

Some of us have a heart of stone and feel as cold as ice.
Love can make a change in you, take a wrong and make things right.
If you only knew how it was planned for life to really be,
You would join in, you won't hesitate, you would help bring the harmony.

God made this world for all souls.
Why, tell me why so many obstacles?
Hems the one, hems the only one that knows.
He judges the heart before he saves the soul.
We can change, we can change the world.

Brothers, let's unite; come, let's make evmrything all right.
We can change this world, help this world, oh.
Everybody needs love.
Turn it aloose; don't stop that love.
You know it's time for wakin' up.

It's your world now.
The future is plain to see.
Stop balking, let's get walking.
To make wrong things right, it just don't happen overnight.

You use the love to quench my desire.
You play with me, you play with fire,
I'd give my heart to take you higher.
This is my only one desire.
We can't get along.
And you won't come home.
There's a day I caught you in his arms, seducing him with all your charms.
You know you really hurt me so.
I need you and I won't let go.

Can't get away, babe.
Can't get along, mama.
Can't get away, babe.
Oh, you hurt me so.
Oh, babe, you got me crying in my sleep.
I close my eyes, it's you I see.

You're not with someone else, I know.
My heart says not to let you go.
Oh, babe, my heart is stronger than my soul.
You hurt my head down to me toes.
I won't let go; you make me wild.
You leave me, girl, you know I'll die.

Can't get away, babe
Can't you let you go, darlin'
I can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so.
Can't get away
Can't let you go
Can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so.

Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home.

Never thought that I would hurt so bad.
And ever since the day that I met you, all alone I sit 'cause I'm so sad.
Don't you know this heart, it grieves for you?
There you were, holdin' back your love, tryin' to make me feel real bad, 'cause your love I never had.

I pray to her.
(He loves you)
I needed her
(He needs you)
I told her that
(He wants you)
I want her back
(He loves you).

Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.

Darlin', donmt you want to have some fun?
Don't you know, baby, I'm the one?
Just come with me and I'll make you feel.
Don't you know, babe, this love is real?
There you were, holdin' back your love,
All alone, you lookin' sad, but I know you want it bad.

Deceivin' me
(He loves you)
What is the key?
(He needs you)
Do you believe in me?
(He wants you)
It's a disgrace, you see.
(He loves you)

Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.
Girl, I want your body.
You know I love your body.
Girl, I need your body.
Why don't you come home with me now.

Live and sin
Ten years ago on this day, my heart was yearning
I promised I would never ever be returning
Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning

As we walked into the room, there were faces
Saring, glaring, tearing through me
Someone said welcome to your doom
Then they smiled with eyes that looked as if they knew me
This is scaring me

We walked up the stairs still concealing gloom
There were two girls sitting in My room
She walked up to my face
And said this is the place
You said meet you right here at noon

Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel

Hope is dead
She thought that I had cheated for another lover
I turn my back to see that I am undercover
Now I can't convince this girl there ain't no other

Someone's evil to hurt my soul
Every smile's trial thought in beguile
To hurt me
Then the man next door had told
He's been here in tears for fifteen years
This is scaring me

We came to this place, where the vicious dwell
And found that wicked women run this strange hotel
There was Sefra and Sue,
Every girl that I knew
And my baby said love is through

Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel

Here, when all my work is done
She calls and she says, dear, can I come?
I say to her, that you know our love has gone
But aggressive heart, you're really not the one
She comes to the door, crying at my feet
Guilt shines in her eyes
As she slowly sinks in deep
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep
I sigh, 'cause I thought this would never be
I say ooh, I'm screamin' out for someone
And now she's knockin' on the door for me
She just won't leave me alone
She wants to speak with me
And persuade me in her arms
And how she's callin' on the phone for me
Just won't leave me alone
Deep down inside she's trying to be clever,
To love once more then leave me forever
I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I try so hard to cope with you
I can't bear with the things you put me through
To love as friends, I wish that we could see
But persuasive heart, you just won't
let pure friendship be
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never
-

My baby's always dancin'
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
But I don't get no loving
And thats no lie

We spent the night in 'Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed
Our love goodbye

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

That nasty boogie bugs me
But somehow it has drugged me
Spellbound rhythem gets me
On my feet

I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightning leave me
My baby just can't take
Her eyes off me

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't you blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Whoo!

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet

I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet

Sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't on good times
Blame it on the boogie

This magic music grooves me
That dirty rhythm moves me
The devil's gotten to me
Through his dance

I'm full of funky fever
A fire burns inside me
Boogies got me in a
Super trance

Don't blame it on the sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

Don't you blame it sunshine
Don't blame it on the moonlight
Don't blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie

Boogie

Don't you blame it

You just got to

You just want to

Yeah

Blame it on yourself

Ain't nobody's fault

But yours and that boogie

Dancin' all night long

Yours and that boogie

Ain't nobody's fault

But yours

Live and sigh, crying eyes
Your touch, your heart, your warmth, lullaby
Live to dream, don't it seem
The tears, the pain, the hurt, reality

Don't you know these dreams, I wish could be
The real you and me
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away

Don't you know these dreams, I wish could be
The real you and me
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away

People all over the world are the same everywhere I go
I give in to this, I give in to that
Every day it bothers me so

Am I in a bad situation
People taking me to the exteme
Am I being used
I just need a clue
I don't know which way to go

So I took my problems to a doctor
So he could check it out, he don't know
Took it to a palm reader so she could
Read my hand, she don't know
Five minutes later I started to understand
I started screaming, shouting, acting mad
No one could help me but myself
But I gave everything I had

Chorus:
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me

Always wanting something for nothing
Especially what they don't deserve
Reaching in my pocket
I just got to stop it
Even though they got a lot of nerve

Am I in a bad situation
People taking me to the extreme
They don't use rejection
So I need protection
To keep my equity

So I took my problems to a doctor
So he could check it out, he don't know
Took it to a palm reader so she could
Read my hand, she don't know
Five minutes later I started to understand
I started screaming, shouting, acting mad
No one could help me but myself
But I gave everything I had

Chorus:
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It's things I do for you
In return do the same for me

I don't know whats going happen to you baby
But I do know that I love ya
You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want ya

Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground

You tease me with your loving to play hard to get
Cause you do know that I want ya
You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want ya

Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground

You are the spark that lit the fire inside of me
And you know that I love it
I need to do just something to get closer to your soul
And you do know that I want ya

Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let's dance, let's shout
Shake you body down to the ground

In this world there's so much confusion
And I've tasted the city life and it's not for me
Now I do dream of distant places
Where I don't know now, but it's Destiny

If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things

I want Destiny
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be free, let me be me

I'm a man that's for all seasons
What the city offers me ain't naturally
I look to greet the stars
But there's no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny

If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things

I want Destiny
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be free, let me be me

I'm a man that's for all seasons
What the city offers me ain't naturally
I look to greet the stars
But there's no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny

I wanna be far from here
Should I up and fly away so fancy free
Nobody can change my mind
I'm screamming out these words for me
While time
Destiny, ah destiny, it's calling me
Destiny, a place for me
Ah, destiny
I want destiny
It's the place for me.......

I try to do what's right for me
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go

Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself

Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times

Sometimes I cry 'cause I'm confused
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
'Cause I give myself at beck and call

Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself

Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times

The life your leading is so dangerous
It's so dangerous, dangerous all
The life your leading is so dangerous
Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous

Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself

Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you've pleased none

I don't like it baby
When your stopping me on the floor
'Cause the more I keep on dancin'
The more I keep wanting some more

I don't care what your saying
You're talking in my ear much too loud
And the music's taking my body
On a trip from nine to five

Keep me dancin' all night
All night, all night

Gonna dance up fire
Calling engine number 109
There ain't no chains to hold me
Gonna burn this place down till five

You can't stop this fever
'Cause my temperature is burning hot
And all I want to do is dance, dance
Sweating from my face to my feet

Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night
Keep me dancin' all night

Jack still cries day and night
Jack's not happy with his life
He wants to do this
He wants to that
You want to be kind but ends up flat for love
For love

(Chorus:)
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
But love's not harsh and love's not bad
So what's he doing for love is so sad
He wants to be so bad
He wants to be so bad
All the time getting in
Things he can't get out
Something deep inside of him
Eatin' up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
That's what you get for being polite
For being polite

Jack still sits all alone
He lives the world that is his own
He's lost in thought of who to be
I wish to god that he would see just love
Give him love

(Chorus)

(Jack still) tryin' to make you happy but
(Jack still) tryin' to make you happy but
(Jack still) tryin'to make you happy but it's love, but it's love
(Jack still) tryin' to make you, but don't you know he cries
(Jack still) don't you know he's scared
(Jack still) it's often for his love
It's for his love
Don't you know he often cries about you
He cries about me
He cries about you (you) and me (and me)
And every little thing that's in his way
He cries about me
He cries about you (you) and me (and me)
He knows he deserves to cry

(Chorus)

My baby's always dancin'
