"Mama's Pearl" est le cinquième single des Jackson Five, qui atteignit une fois de plus une excellent place dans les charts, même si, pour la première fois, ce n'était pas en tant que numéro 1.

Un détail important, la version présente sur l'album n'est pas la version finale de la chanson. Pour une question de temps, c'est une version inachevée au niveau du mixage que Motown a inclus dans l'album, et la version définitive, avec une instrumentation différente est celle présente sur le 45 tours original américain, et sur quelques compilations, dont l'Anthology 1986.

US single released January 7, 1971
# 2 RNB, # 2 Pop
Sales : 2 387 569 (World), 1 887 959 (USA)

Lyrics / Paroles

You send cold chills up and down my spine
We kiss for thrill then you draw the line, oh baby
’Cause your mama told you that love ain’t right
But don’t you know good lovin’ is the spice of life, yeah

Mama’s pearl
Let down those curls
Won’t you give my love a whirl
Find what you been missin’
Ooh ooh, now baby, goody girl
Let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don’t keep me wishin’

You want my lovin’
Yes, you do, do, do
(Yes you do, I know that you do)
You know my lovin’ is true, true, true
Now baby
But your conscience tells you that love is wrong
But just a little lovin’ never hurt no one

Mama’s pearl
Let down those curls
Won’t you give my love a whirl
Find what you been missin’
Ooh ooh, now baby, goody girl
Let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don’t keep me wishin’

Girl don’t be afraid
Oh we’ve got the first step made
Oh, the rest is up to you
Here is what to do
Let yourself go
let yourself just oo, now now no
Let your lovin’ go, now, now, now
Just give it to me
’Cause I’ve got what you need
Got what you need

Let’s fall in love
Let’s fall in love
And find out what you’re missin’

Goody girl let down your curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Why don’t you give my love a whirl
Girl, don’t be afraid
Oh, we’ve got the first step made
Ooh, just give in, just give in to me
’Cause I got what you need
Got what you need
Let’s fall in love
Let’s fall in love
Let yourself go
