The Jacksons – Destiny Lyrics
Blame It On The Boogie
(Mick Jackson / David Jackson / E. Krohn)
My baby’s always dancing
And it wouldn’t be a bad thing
But I don’t get no loving
And that’s no lie
We spent the night in Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed
Our lov goodbye
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don’t you blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie, woo
I just can’t, I just can’t
I just can’t control my feet
I just can’t, I just can’t (Yeah)
I just can’t (Woo) control my feet
I just can’t, I just can’t
I just can’t control my feet
I just can’t, I just can’t
I just can’t control my feet
Sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
This magic music grooves me, that dirty rhythm fools me
The devil’s gotten to me through this dance
I’m full of funky fever, a fire burns inside me
Boogie’s got me in a super trance
Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don’t you blame it sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on the good times
Blame it on the boogie
Ow (Sunshine)
Ooh (Moonlight)
Yeah (Good times)
Mmm (Boogie)
You just gotta (Sunshine)
Yeah (Moonlight)
(Good times)
Good times (Boogie)
Don’t you blame it (Sunshine)
You just gotta (Moonlight)
You just wanna (Good times)
Yeah, oh (Boogie)
Blame it on yourself (Sunshine)
Ain’t nobody’s fault (Moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (Good times)
All night long (Boogie)
Can’t stop that boogie (Sunshine)
Ain’t nobody’s fault (Moonlight)
But yours and that boogie (Good times)
Dancin’ all night long (Boogie)
Blame it on yourself (Sunshine)
Ain’t nobody’s fault (Moonlight)
But yours and that boogie, boogie, boogie (Good times)
All night long (Boogie)
Push Me Away
(Michael Jackson / Marlon Jackson / Tito Jackson / Jackie Jackson / Randy Jackson)
Live and sigh, crying eyes
Your touch, your heart, your warmth lullaby
Live to dream, don’t it seem
The tears, the pain,
Reality
Don’t you know
These dreams I wish could be
The real you and me
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away
Darken days, go away
The nights are bright, dream and stay
As I dream loving you
Your touch, your heart, your warmth
Please come true
Don’t you know
These dreams I wish could be
The real you and me
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away
Don’t you know
These dreams I wish could be
The real you and me
I come running back to you
You push me away, you push
You push me away
Things I Do For You
(Michael Jackson / Randy Jackson / Jackie Jackson / Tito Jackson / Marlon Jackson)
People all over the world are the same everywhere I go
I give in to this, I give in to that
Every day it bothers me so
Am I in a bad situation
People taking me to the extreme
Am I being used
I just need a clue
I don’t know which way to go
So I took my problems to a doctor
So he could check it out, he don’t know
Took it to a palm reader so she could
Read my hand, she don’t know
Five minutes later I started to understand
I started screaming, shouting, acting mad
No one could help me but myself
But I gave everything I had
It’s things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It’s things I do for you
In return do the same for me
Always wanting something for nothing
Especially what they don’t deserve
Reaching in my pocket
I just got to stop it
Even though they got a lot of nerve
Am I in a bad situation
People taking me to the extreme
They don’t use rejection
So I need protection
To keep my equity
So I took my problems to a doctor
So he could check it out, he don’t know
Took it to a palm reader so she could
Read my hand, she don’t know
Five minutes later I started to understand
I started screaming, shouting, acting mad
No one could help me but myself
But I gave everything I had
It’s things I do for you
In return do the same for me
It’s things I do for you
In return do the same for me
Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)
(Michael Jackson / Randy Jackson)
I don’t know what’s going happen to you baby
But I do know that I love ya
You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want ya
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
You tease me with your loving to play hard to get
Cause you do know that I want ya
You walk around this town with your head all up in the sky
And I do know that I want ya
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
You are the spark that lit the fire inside of me
And you know that I love it
I need to do just something to get closer to your soul
And you do know that I want ya
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Let’s dance, let’s shout
Shake you body down to the ground
Destiny
(Michael Jackson / Randy Jackson / Jackie Jackson / Tito Jackson / Marlon Jackson)
In this world there’s so much confusion
And I’ve tasted the city life and it’s not for me
Now I do dream of distant places
Where I don’t know now, but it’s Destiny
If it’s the rich life, I don’t want it
Happiness ain’t always material things
I want destiny
It’s the place for me
Give me the simple life
I’m getting away from here
Let me be me, let me feel free, let me be me
I’m a man that’s for all seasons
What the city offers me ain’t naturally
I look to greet the stars
But there’s no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny
If it’s the rich life, I don’t want it
Happiness ain’t always material things
I want destiny
It’s the place for me
Give me the simple life
I’m getting away from here
Let me be me, let me feel free, let me be me
I’m a man that’s for all seasons
What the city offers me ain’t naturally
I look to greet the stars
But there’s no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny
I wanna be far from here
Should I up and fly away so fancy free
Nobody can change my mind
I’m screamming out these words for me
While time
Destiny, ah destiny, it’s calling me
Destiny, a place for me
Ah, destiny
I want destiny
It’s the place for me
Bless His Soul
(Michael Jackson / Marlon Jackson / Tito Jackson / Jackie Jackson / Randy Jackson)
I try to do what’s right for me
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can’t please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It’s hard to find
A person like you
You’re one of a kind
If I were you, I’d change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
Sometimes I cry cause I’m confused
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
Cause I give myself at beck and call
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can’t please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing what’s right for you
Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It’s hard to find
A person like you
You’re one of a kind
If I were you, I’d change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
The life you’re leading is so dangerous
It’s so dangerous, dangerous all
The life you’re leading is so dangerous
Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can’t please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing what’s right for you
‘Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It’s hard to find
A person like you
You’re one of a kind
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you’ve pleased none
All Night Dancin’
(Michael Jackson / Randy Jackson)
I don’t like it baby
When you’re stopping me on the floor
‘Cause the more I keep on dancin’
The more I keep wanting some more
I don’t care what you’re saying
You’re talking in my ear much too loud
And the music’s taking my body
On a trip from nine to five
Keep me dancin’ all night
All night, all night
Gonna dance up fire
Calling engine number 109
There ain’t no chains to hold me
Gonna burn this place down till five
You can’t stop this fever
‘Cause my temperature is burning hot
And all I want to do is dance, dance
Sweating from my face to my feet
Keep me dancin’ all night
Keep me dancin’ all night
Keep me dancin’ all night
Keep me dancin’ all night
That’s What You Get (For Being Polite)
(Michael Jackson / Randy Jackson)
Jack still cries day and night
Jack’s not happy with his life
He want to do this, he want to do that
You want to be kind, but ends up flat for love
For love
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
Love’s not harsh and love’s not bad
And what’s he doing for love is so bad
(He wants to be so bad)
(He wants to be so bad)
All the time getting in
Things he can’t get out
Something deep inside of him
Eating up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
(That’s what you get for being polite)
(For being polite)
Jack still sits all alone
He lives the world that is his own
He’s lost in thought of who to be
I wish to God that he would see just love
Give him love
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
Love’s not harsh and love’s not bad
And what’s he doing for love is so sad
(He wants to be so bad)
(He wants to be so bad)
All the time getting in
Things he can’t get out
Something deep inside of him
Eating up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
(That’s what you get for being polite)
(For being polite)
(Jack still) Tryin’ to make you happy, but…
(Jack still) Tryin’ to make you happy, but…
(Jack still) Tryin’ to make you happy, but he’s not, but he’s not
(Jack still) Tryin’ to make you, but don’t you know he cries
(Jack still) Don’t you know he’s scared
(Jack still) It’s often for his love, it’s for his love
Don’t you know he often cries about you
He cries about me
He cries about you (You) and me (And me)
And every little thing that’s in his way
He cries about me
He cries about you (You) and me (And me)
Know that he deserves to cry
(Jack still) Don’t you know he cries
(Jack still) Don’t you know he’s scared
(Jack still) It’s often for his love, yeah, yeah
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know
He cries, he cries because there is a lack of love
