Why don't you make yourself race, make yourself go

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me

Let's have some fun
Let's have a good time you and me
Sittin' there with your mouth poked out
Just as sweet as you can be

Why don't you live
Live the life you got
Come on girl, let's get it
While the feelin' is gettin' hot and hot

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me

Hey there girl, I've been watchin' you
I can wipe away that frown
Oh, you and I can get together
We can tear the house down
We can tear the house down
We can tear the whole house down

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
You better enjoy yourself
You got to enjoy yourself

NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE-THE JACKSON 5

Never can say goodbye-1971 #2

Never can say goodbye ('never say goodbye girl')
No, no, no, no... I
I never can say goodbye
Even though the pain and heartache seem to follow me wherever I go
Though I tried and tried 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 ('tell me why') is it so? ('is it so')
But I never can say goodbye ('never say goodbye girl')
No, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
('never say goodbye girl')
Ev’ry time I think I’ve had enough and start heading for the door
There’s a very strange vibration that pierces me right thru the core
It says turn around you fool you know you love her more and more
Tell me why ('tell me why') is it so? ('is it so')

Don’t wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, baby,
(don’t wanna let you go, girl)
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no

Ohh, I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, ohh,
(don’t wanna let you go, baby) ('Ooh')
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no,
Ohh

Never can say goodbye ('never say goodbye girl')
No, no, no, no
I never can say goodbye
('never say goodbye girl')
I keep thinkin' that our problems soon are all gonna work out
But there’s that same unhappy feelin that there’s that anguish, there’s that doubt
It’s that same old dizzy hang-up can’t do with you or without
Tell me why ('Tell Me Why') is it so? ('Is it so')

Don’t wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, baby,
(baby)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no

Ohh, I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye, girl)
Ohh, ohh, ohh,
(baby)
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no,
Ohh

'Oh, girl, I never can say goodbye girl
(never can say goodbye girl)
Ooh, ooh baby
(baby)
I never can say goodbye,
No, no, no, no, no, no'

'Ooh ooh, I never can say goodbye girl
(never, never, never girl)
Ooh ooh, Oh
(baby)
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no, no, no, no (no no no)'

THE LOVE YOU SAVE-THE JACKSON 5

The love you save-1970 #1

Stop, you better save it
Stop, stop, stop, you better save it, woo
Do do do do do ...

When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be it
But chasin' 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 in grade school
You're doin' the same old thing

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone
You better stop
The love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're heading for a 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 Benjii held your hand he felt electricity
When Alexander called you, he said he rang your chimes
Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time

Stop, the love you save may be your own
Darlin' take it slow or some day you'll be all alone
You better stop
The love you save may be your own
Darlin' look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on..

"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
Baby, ooh
You'd better stop
The love you save may be your own
Please, please or some day, some day baby you'll be heading for a danger zone
(All alone)

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

Ooh, stop, the love you save may be your own oh baby
You better stop it, stop it, stop it girl or someday you'll be all alone

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name, turn your name
Stop, the love you save may be your own
Don't you know, don't you know
Some day baby you'll be heading for a danger zone
(All alone)

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed
(Fade Out)
