Mama's Pearl
(The
Corporation)
Lead vocals : Michael Jackson
Background vocals : The Jackson 5
Arranged by The
Corporation
Produced by The
Corporation
Recorded at the Motown Recording Studio, Los Angeles, California.
"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.

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
