Ecrit par Willie Hutch et Richard Hutch
Produit par Willie Hutch
Voix : Michael Jackson

Les Paroles

Oh, girl
I can't get ready (Can't get ready for losing you)
Oh, girl
I can't get ready (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no

I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Girl, I can't get ready (Can't get ready) no, no, no
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Oh, can't get ready (Can't get ready)
No, girl for losing you
Losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)

Thought I had your love in the palm of my hands
But I let it slip away from me, girl
And now you're happy with another guy
Someone who doesn't make you cry (He doesn't make you cry)
And now it's got me shedding tears
Oh girl, how I wish you were here

'Cause I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
No, for losing you (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no
I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Oh, girl for losing you (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no
Can't get ready (Can't get ready) oh girl, for losing you
Losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)

Girl, I took your love for granted
I know, I know, I treated you so unkind
And now the shoe is on the other foot
And you don't even take a second look
You told me there would come a time
Oh,girl, it's really blowing my mind

'Cause I can't get ready (Can't get ready) no, no, no, no, no
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Oh, can't get ready (Can't get ready)
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no
Can't get ready (Can't get ready)
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)

Les paroles :

LOVE OH LOVE OH LOVE SWEET LOVE
LET ME TELL YOU NOW, UH, UH

GAVE ALL MY HEART, TREATED YOU TENDERLY
I HAD TO TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF HEARTBREAK JUST TO MAKE YOU SEE

Refrain - YOU AIN’T GIVING ME WHAT I WANT
[SO I’M GONNA GET IT ALL BACK]
TRYING SO HARD TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
[‘CAUSE IT’S RUNNING ON A ONE WAY TRACK]
ALL I WANT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE
[‘CAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT]
I’M GONNA GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE
[‘CAUSE YOU AIN’T WHERE IT’S AT]

GOT HUNG UP FOR HER PERSONALITY
BUT ALL IT DID WAS MAKE A FOOL OUT ME
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS GIVING YOU SATISFACTION
BUT I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A FALSE REACTION

Refrain

LOVING YOU IS ONE MISTAKE
A FEELING I BEEN CONFUSED
THAT I FOUND OUT AT ONCE
I WAS BEING MISUSED
IT HURT ME TO MY HEART
TO FIND FROM THE VERY BEGINNING
ALL THAT I WAS INSTORE
WAS AN UNHAPPY ENDING

YOU AIN’T GIVING ME WHAT I WANT
[SO I’M GONNA GET IT ALL BACK]
I’M GONNA GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE
[‘CAUSE YOU AIN’T WHERE IT’S AT]

WELL, WELL, WELL
WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE
WHO WILL IT BE
REPRESENTING ME
WELL, WELL, WELL
WHO WILL YOU APPROVE

Refrain

NOW THAT I FINALLY GOT MYSELF TOGETHER
CAN’T WALK AWAY WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE
KNOWING THE PAST HAS GONE FOREVER
MEMORY OF YOU WILL BE HARD TO ERASE

YOU AIN’T GIVING ME WHAT I WANT
[SO I’M GONNA GET IT ALL BACK]
I’M GONNA GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE
[‘CAUSE YOU AIN’T WHERE IT’S AT]

WELL, WELL, WELL
WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE
WHO WILL IT BE
REPRESENTING ME
WELL, WELL, WELL
WHO WILL YOU APPROVE

Everybody Is A Star
Who would rain and chase the dust away
Everybody wants to shine

'Til the sun that does you proud
When the system tries to bring you down
Every hand to shine tonight
You don't need darkness to do what you think is right

Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa

Everybody Is A Star
I can feel it when you shine on me
Oh, I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be

Ever catch a falling star
Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground
Everybody Is A Star
One big circle going round and round

Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa
Ooh, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa (Shine, shine, shine, shine)

Lead vocals : Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson
Background Vocals : The Jackson 5
Produced by Hal Davis
Recorded at the Motown Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California.

Les paroles :

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's a cold man to hurt his woman
And watch her walk away crying

When all along, he knows he's wrong
Being so hard on a woman who's trying

I was so unkind to hurt you so
Going out of my mind
I just gotta let you know that

Baby, I just can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love, surely can we mend it
It's just a little misunderstanding

I remember you said
You would always care
Until death should we do part
Baby, surely must be our destiny
To die the death of a broken heart

So before I go, a wandering rover
Let's get together
Talk this thing over now

Baby, I just can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love, surely can we mend it
It's just a little misunderstanding
That's all it is

If our love is so wrong?
It just seems wrong
That our love could never be
You could be anywhere
Baby, I wouldn't care
If I thought that you're leaving me

All the chains in the world
(Couldn't hold me, couldn't hold me)
Like the ? our your love
(Controls me, controls me)

Baby, I just can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love, surely can we mend it
It's just a little misunderstanding
That's all it is

Baby, I just can't let you go (oh, yeah)
I realize I hurt you so (ooh, yeah)
Our love, surely can we mend it
(Surely we can we mend it)
It's just a little misunderstanding

Baby (baby)

Produit par Hal Davis
Voix : Michael Jackson

Les Paroles

(Ask the lonely, ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely)
(Ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely, baby)

When you feel that you
Got the strength to make it on your own
People let me tell you now
That no one here will get the love
To make it on their own
You tell 'em Michael

Just ask the lonely
They know the hurt and the pain
'Cause losing a love you can never, never regain

(Ask the lonely, ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely)
(Ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely, baby)

The young and foolish laugh at love
Oh, it will slowly run away
Confident and sure that faith
Will bring another love their way
Somehow, someday
Tell 'em Mike

Just ask the lonely
How many a heart can yearn
For losing a love that will never, never return

(Ask the lonely) Yeah (Ask the lonely)
(Just ask the lonely)
(Ask the lonely, ask the lonely)
(They'll tell you) They'll tell you, yeah
Yes they will, baby (Just ask the lonely)

They'll tell you a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
They'll tell you the loneliest one is me, yeah
Yes, I'm lonely

(Ask the lonely, baby)
All you got to do is ask me
'Cause I'm so lonely
Yes I am, yes I am, yes I am, oh baby

They'll tell a story of sadness
A story too hard to believe
They'll tell you the loneliest one is me

(Ask the lonely, ask the lonely) The lonely one is me
(Ask the lonely) The lonely one is me
(Just ask the lonely, baby)
Ask me, yeah, ask me
I'm the loneliest one, I'm the loneliest one

Les paroles :

You know, the landlord rang my front door bell.
I let it ring for a long, long spell.
I went to the window,
I peeped through the blind,
And asked him to tell me what s on his mind.
He said,

Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey, if you want to get along with me.

Well, I screamed and I hollered,
I was so hard-pressed.
I called the woman that I loved the best.
I finally got my baby about half past three,
She said I d like to know what you want with me.
I said,

Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.

Well, I said tell me baby, what s wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through
I said, tell me baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
She said,

Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get a long with me.

Well, I ve learned my lesson and now I know
The sun may shine and the winds may blow.
The women may come and the women may go,
But before I say I love you so,
I want

Money, honey.
Money, honey.
Money, honey,
If you want to get along with me.
