Intro / I Want You Back

[Intro: Bill Cosby]
This is your roving reporter Scoop Newsworthy standing in front of the actual rehearsal hall where the Jackson 5 are preparing for their Indiana concert
We wish we could take you inside but nobody's allowed in while they're rehearsing, you see
So, wait- hi
*Laughter*

[Tommy Smothers]
How're you' doin?

[Bill Cosby]
Scoop Newsworthy

[Tommy Smothers]
Yeah

[Bill Cosby]
Yeah. *Laughter*

[Tommy Smothers]
What's uh, what's goin' on?

[Bill Cosby]
Uh, Jackson 5's rehearsing in there, but you can't go in

[Tommy Smothers]
J-J5?

[Bill Cosby]
J5, J5. But you can't go in, you're gonna be thrown right out

*Door opens and closes, laughter*

[Bill Cosby]
Even if we wanted to go in therе, we couldn't because thе security is so tight, that any unauthorised individual going through that door will be forcibly ejected, you see
Folks, I'm sorry, but you can't go in there, kiddies, 'cause the sign says "No admittance"

*Runs inside*

This is Scoop Newsworthy - I'll get 'em
*Laughter*

[Michael Jackson]
Uh-huh huh uh uh
Let me tell ya now
Uh-huh

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & (Jackson 5)]
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)

[Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson & (Jackson 5)]
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
Tryin' to live without your love is just one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on I leave tear stains on the ground, yeah
Following the girl I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
Oh, darlin', all I need is one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms, uh-huh

[Bridge: Michael Jackson]
A buh buh buh buh
A buh buh buh buh, all I want
A buh buh buh buh, all I need
A buh buh buh buh, all I want
A buh buh buh buh, all I need

[Chorus 2: Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
Oh, just one more chance
To show you that I love you
Baby! Baby!
Baby! Baby!
Baby! Baby!
I want you back

[Jackie Jackson & Jackson 5]
Forget what happened then
I want you back

[Jermaine Jackson]
And let me live again

[Chorus 3: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
Oh darlin', I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms
I want you back

[Jackie Jackson]
Spare me of this 'cause

[Jermaine Jackson]
And give back what I lost

[Outro: Michael Jackson and Jermaine Jackson]
Oh baby I need one more chance, ha
I'll show ya that I love you
(Baby!) Oh! (Yeah baby!) Oh! (Yeah baby!) Oh!
I want you back!
Ha, I want you back!

I want you back!

*Applause*
