The Jackson 5
You went to school to learn, girl, what you never, never knew before
like "I" before "E" except after "C"
and why two plus two makes four, now now now
I'm gonna teach you...all about love dear
Sit yourself down, take a seat
Oh all you gotta do is repeat after me
*ABC (it's) easy as 123, ah simple as Do, Re, Mi
ABC, 123, baby, you and me, girl
(*repeat)
Come on, let me love you just a little bit
Come on, let me love you just a little bit
**I'm gonna teach you...how to sing it out
Come-a, Com-a, Come on let me show you what it's all about
Reading and writing 'rithmatic are the branches of the learning tree
But listen without the roots of love, let me tell you girl
Your education ain't complete
T-t-teacher's gonna show you (show you, show you)
How to get an "A" (na, na, na, na, na, na)
Spell "me", "you", add the two
listen to me baby, that's all you gotta do, oh
(*repeat)
***ABC, it's easy, it's like counting up to three
sing a simple melody...that's how easy love can be
That's how easy love can be...Sing a simple melody
One, two, three, you and me
Sit down, girl, I think I love you! No, get up, girl! Show me what you can do
Shake it, shake it, baby, come on now...
Shake it, shake it, baby, ooh ooh
Shake it, shake it, baby, oh
One two three it, baby, ooh ooh
ABC it, baby, now now,
Do, Re, Mi, baby...that's how easy love can be
(**repeat)

COMPLETE MOTOWN ANTHOLOGY, THE (2:32)
I know you wanna leave me, but I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg, plead, for your sympathy, I don't mind 'cuase you mean that much to me
*Ain't too proud to beg Sweet darlin' (And you know it)
Please don't leave me, girl, don't you go.
ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby. Please don't leave me, girl, don't you go.
Now I've heard a cryin' man is half a man, with no sense of pride
But if I have to cry to keepyou, I don't mind weepin'; if it'll keep you by my side
(*repeat)
If I have to sleep on your doorstep, all night and day...just to keep you from walkin' away.
Let your friends laugh, even this I can stand...'cause I wanna keep you any way I can
(*repeat)

I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do, you're all right
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real, I say that you do, you're outta sight
So fee fi, fo fum, look out baby, 'cause here I come
*And I'm bring you a love that's true, so get ready, so get ready
I'm gonna try to make you love me too, So get ready, so get ready...'cause here I come
(Get ready 'cause here I come now) I'm on my way (Get ready 'cause here I come)
If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind you, it's all right.
The loving you're gonna miss in the time it takes to find you, it's outta sight
So fiddle lee dee, fiddle lee dum, look out, baby, 'cause here I come
(*repeat)
(Get ready)
