The Jackson 5
You Ain’t Giving Me What I Want (So I’m Taking It All Back)
[Intro: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Love, oh love, oh love, sweet love
Let me tell you now, uh huh
Gave you all my heart, treated you tenderly
I had to take a whole lot of heartbreak
Just to make you see
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
You ain't giving me what I want
(So I'm gonna get it all back)
Trying so hard to change your mind
('Cause it's running on a one way track)
All I wanted was a little bit of love
('Cause you don't know about that)
I'm gonna give it to somebody else
('Cause you ain't where it's at)
[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
Got hung up for her personality, yeah
But all it did was make a fool out of me
I thought that I was giving you satisfaction, yeah
Then I found out that it was a false reaction
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
You ain't giving me what I want
(So I'm gonna get it all back)
Trying so hard to change your mind
('Cause it's running on a one way track)
All I wanted was a little bit of love
('Cause you don't know about that)
I'm gonna give it to somebody else
('Cause you ain't where it's at)
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
Loving you is one mistake
That feeling got me confused
That I found out at once
I was being misused
It hurt me to my heart
To find from the very beginning
All that I was in store
Was an unhappy ending
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
You ain't giving me what I want
(So I'm gonna get it all back)
I'm gonna give it to somebody else
('Cause you ain't where it's at)
[Bridge: The Jackson 5]
Well, well, well, who will you choose?
Who will it be representing me?
Well, well, well, who will you approve?
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
You ain't giving me what I want
(So I'm gonna get it all back)
Trying so hard to change your mind
('Cause it's running on a one way track)
All I wanted was a little bit of love
('Cause you don't know about that)
I'm gonna give it to somebody else
('Cause you ain't where it's at)
[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
Now that I finally got myself together
Can't walk away with a smile on my face
Knowing that the past has gone forever
Memory of you will be hard to erase
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Oh, you ain't giving me what I want
(So I'm gonna get it all back)
I'm gonna give it to somebody else
('Cause you ain't where it's at)
[Bridge: The Jackson 5]
Well, well, well, who will you choose?
Who will it be representing me?
Well, well, well, who will you approve?
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
You ain't giving me what I want
(So I'm gonna get it all back)
I'm trying so hard to change your mind
('Cause it's running on a one way track)
All I wanted was a little bit of love
('Cause you don't know about that)
I'm gonna give it to somebody else
('Cause you ain't where it's at)
