The song “I Want You Back” is actually by the Jackson 5, not just Jackson. Here are the lyrics:
Verse 1: You know I never loved you, but I need you now To help me get this sad, sad feeling out Of my heart, out of my mind
Chorus: Tryin’ to live without your love is one long sleepless night Let me tell you now, tryin’ to live without your love is one long sleepless night I have to have your lovin’, please, please, please I want you back, I want you back
Verse 2: My darling, my darling, I was blind to let you go But now since I’ve seen you, in his arms, I want you back I was blind to let you go But now since I’ve seen you, in his arms, I want you back
Chorus: Tryin’ to live without your love is one long sleepless night Let me tell you now, tryin’ to live without your love is one long sleepless night I have to have your lovin’, please, please, please I want you back, I want you back
Bridge: I have to have your lovin’, please, please, please I want you back, I want you back
Chorus: Tryin’ to live without your love is one long sleepless night Let me tell you now, tryin’ to live without your love is one long sleepless night I have to have your lovin’, please, please, please I want you back, I want you back
These lyrics were written by Freddie Perren, Alphonzo Mizell, Deke Richards, and Berry Gordy Jr., and the song was released in 1969 as the Jackson 5’s debut single. It became a huge success and launched the career of Michael Jackson and his brothers.
