Lyrics / Paroles

michael
You better

jackson 5
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone

michael
Get up, get up, get up
Get up off your high horse, girl
Think what you’re doing, doin’
Get up off your high horse, girl
Think what you’re doin’, doin’

jackson 5
Spinnin’ around

michael
I’m spinnin’ around on your merry-go-round
You got me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy

jackson 5
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone

michael
Now, now, babe

jackson 5
Get it together
Or leave it alone
You better, get it, get it
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone

jermaine
Get up off your high horse, girl
Think what you’re doin’, doin’
Get up off your high horse, girl
Think what you’re doin’, doin’

michael
I can’t stand all this confusion
All this shuckin’ and jivin’
You’re putting down, down, down

jackson 5
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone

michael
Big girl what you’re doing
Throwin’ this heart of mine all away
Oh, big girl you know I love you
To keep a love like mine is hard this day
All ya gotta do, girl

jackson 5
Get it together
Or leave it alone
If you don’t want my lovin’
I’ll be gone
