The Jacksons – Victory Lyrics

Torture

written and composed by Jackie Jackson & Kathy Wakefield

It was on a street so evil
So bad that even hell disowned it
Every single step was trouble
For the fool who stumbled on it
Eyes within the dark were watchin’
I felt the sudden chill of danger
Something told me keep on walkin’
Told me I should not have gone there

Baby, ’cause you cut me like a knife (ooh)
Without your love in my life
Alone I walk in the night
‘Cause I just can’t stop this feeling
It’s torture
It’s torture
It’s torture (ooh)

She was up a stair to nowhere
A room forever I’ll remember
She stared as though I should have known her
Tell me what’s your pain or pleasure
Every little thing you find here
Is simply for the thrill you’re after
Loneliness or hearts on fire
I am here to serve all masters

She said, ‘Reality is a knife
When there’s no love in your life
Unmerciful is the night
When you just can’t stop this feeling’
It’s torture
It’s torture
It’s torture

And I still can’t find the meaning, no
No, no, of the face I keep on seeing
Was she real or am I dreaming
Did the sound of your name
Turn a wheel
Start a flame in me (ooh)

Baby, ’cause you cut me like a knife
Without your love in my life
Alone I walk in the night
And I just can’t stop this feeling
It’s torture
It’s torture
It’s torture
(Adlib and the words when you call my name It’s torture to fade)

Wait

written and composed by Jackie Jackson & David Paich

How come you tell me that we have to get away
But girl, you can’t be found
We’ll dine in Paris on the Champs Elysées
Whenever you come around
There’s been a break down, break down
Don’t change your mind on me
Just take a little time
You say the finer things
Are worth waiting for
Just give me some kinda sign, baby

I can’t wait, wait, wait for a hundred years
I can’t hold back my tears anylonger, longer
I can’t wait, wait, wait for a hundred years
I can’t hold back my tears anylonger, longer

Sometimes I think of all the moments that we share
I’ve been waiting for so long
You know it hurts me
Everytime you run and hide
I look up and now you’re gone
I’ve been put down, way down
There’s no tomorrow for me
You can’t let love just fade away, baby

I can’t wait, wait, wait for a hundred years
I can’t hold back my tears anylonger, longer
I can’t wait, wait, wait for a hundred years
I can’t hold back my tears anylonger

Girl, I’ve been longing for you deep inside
And I tell myself, baby, baby
If this love of ours will survive
Then let’s take this chance together, together
Baby, you know

I just can’t wait, wait, wait for a hundred years
(I just can’t wait)
I can’t hold back my tears anylonger, longer
I can’t wait, wait, wait for a hundred years
I can’t hold back my tears anylonger
Now hear, you pushed my heart around
Tore me up inside, made me feel so bad
You took away my pride
(My pride)
I can’t wait, wait, wait for a hundred years
I can’t hold back my tears anylonger
I can’t hold back my tears
(Anylonger)
I can’t hold back my tears, baby
(Anylonger)
I can’t hold back my tears, darling
(Anylonger)
I can hold back my tears, baby
(Anylonger)
Anylonger
I can’t wait
I’m down on my knees, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Don’t talk to me (oh)
Break down on my knees, baby
Must tell me
Can’t help my soul
I can’t help my soul, baby, baby
(Anylonger)
Talk to me
(Anylonger)
Break down on my knees, now baby
(Anylonger)
(Anylonger)
Can’t wait
(Anylonger)
I can’t wait
I can’t wait
(Anylonger)(oh)
I can’t wait
(Anylonger)
(Adlib)
I can’t wait no more, now baby
Break down on my knees

One More Chance (1984)

written and composed by Randy Jackson

Hello
Hello
Hello

Hello

Just remember everything I tell you
Sorry for the pain
That I have caused you
You know it’s true I wanna stay
I know you tried to make me
What I should have been
You were there to help me
When I could have been
I don’t know whatever came over me

Give me that one more chance
Remember all that we planned
Give me that one more chance
For me
Give me that one more chance
Remember all that we planned
Give me that one more chance
For me

I just wanna do
Half of what you do
And I know it seems so strange
Of me to say this
If there is a hundred ways to say it
All in one it means don’t go away

Everybody’s coming round
Telling you lies
They don’t know how hard
That I’ve tried
You know it takes the pressure
For me to see

Give me that one more chance
Remember all that we planned
Give me that one more chance
For me
Give me that one more chance
Remember all that we planned
Give me that one more chance
For me

If you could read my mind
How wonderful it’d be
Heaven’s hard to find
And what it means to me
Is so divine (ooh)

Give me that one more chance
Remember all that we planned
Give me that one more chance
For me
Give me that one more chance
Remember all that we planned
Give me that one more chance
For me

(Give me that one more chance)
I wanna prove it
(Remember all that we’ve planned)
I know we can do this
(Give me that one more chance)
For me
(Give me that one more chance)
Love is not a playground
(Remember all that we planned)
Sorry I let you down
(Give me that one more chance)
For me

Say you love me
Say you love me
I want you to say it
Say it
Do you love me
Do you love me
Do you love me
Darling, do you love me
(I love you
Please tell me you love me)

Be Not Always

written and composed by Michael & Marlon Jackson

Always, be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please be not always
And if always
Bow our heads in blame
‘Cause time has made promises
Just promises

Faces, did you see their faces
Did they touch you
Have you felt such pain
To have nothing
To dream something
Then lose hoping
Is not life but lame
But time has made promises
Just promises

Mothers cry, babies die
Helplessly in arms
While rockets fly
And research lies
In progress to become
But what of men
Of flesh and blood
We turn our backs on life
How can we claim to stand for peace
When the races are in strife
Destroying life

Always, please be not always
But if always
Bow our heads in shame
Always, please, please be not always
‘Cause if always
Bow our heads in blame
‘Cause time, time has made promises
Death promises

We Can Change The World

written and composed by Tito Jackson

All for one and one for all
Is what we all should be
But instead we go and fight each other
Now that wasn’t meant to be
You know the sun is there
To light up the day
The night is lit by the moon
If we don’t come together, my brother
It all can end very soon

It’s your world now
The future is plain to see
Sing it, yeah
Sing it, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give love right now
We need the harmony (aah)

Some of us have a heart of stone
And feelings cold as ice
Love can make a change in you
Take a wrong and make things right
If you only know how it was planned
For life to really be
Well, you would join in
You won’t hesitate
You will help bring the harmony

God made this world
For all souls
Why, tell me why
So many obstacles
He’s the one
He’s the only one that knows
He judges the heart
Before He saves the soul

We can change
We can change the world
Brothers, let’s unite
Come, let’s make everything all right
We can change this world
Help this world (ooh)

Everybody needs love
Turn it loose
Don’t stop that love
You know it’s time for waking up (ooo)

God made this world
For all souls
Why, tell me why
So many obstacles
He’s the one
He’s the only one that knows
He judges the heart
Before He saves the soul

We can change
We can change the world
Brothers let’s unite
Come, let’s make everything all right
We can change this world
Help this world

Stop balking
Let’s get walking
If you lead
All will follow
We can change this world
Help this world (help)
To make wrong things right
It just don’t happen overnight

Brothers come unite
We can make everything
Everything all right
We can change it
Help me change it (wooh)
We can change
We can change the world
We can change it
Help me change it (wooh)
We can change
We can change the world

The Hurt

written and composed by Michael & Randy Jackson, David Paich & Steve Porcaro

You use my love
To quench your desire
You play with me
You’re playing with fire
I give my heart to take you higher
This is my only one desire
We can’t get along
You won’t come home

Yesterday I found you in his arms
Seducing him with all your charms
You know you really hurt me so
I need you
And I won’t let go

Can’t get away, babe
Can’t get along, mama
Can’t get away, babe
Though you hurt me so

Ooh ooh, babe

You got me cryin’ in my sleep
I close my eyes
It’s you I see
You might be somewhere else, I know
My heart says not to let you go
Oh, babe
My hurt is strong deep in my soul
It hurts my head down to my toes
I won’t let go
You make me wild
You need me girl
You know I’ll die

Can’t get away, babe
Can’t let you go, mama
I can’t get away, babe
Though you hurt me so
Can’t get away, babe
Can’t let you go, mama
Can’t get away
Though you hurt me so

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Lord help us
You hurt me so
You leave me
How can you leave me here
No place to go
Lord help us
You hurt me so
You left me here
And I can’t
I can’t get away, babe

(Spoken)
You made it hurt
So deep in my soul

Can’t get away, babe
Can’t get away, babe
Can’t let you go, mama
Though you hurt me so

Can’t get away, babe
Can’t let you go, mama
Can’t get away, babe
Though you hurt me so

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I wonder
I wonder why

You got me cryin’ in my sleep, babe
You that I see
Oh, oh, baby

Body

written and composed by Marlon Jackson

Girl, I want your body
You know I love your body
Girl, I need your body
Why don’t you come home with me now
Girl, I want your body
You know I love your body
Girl, I need your body
Why don’t you come home

Never thought that I would hurt so bad
Ever since the day that I met you
All alone I sit ’cause I’m so sad
Don’t you know this heart
It grieves for you
There you were
Holding back your love
Tryin’ to make me feel real bad
‘Cause your love I never had

I begged to her
(He loves you)
I needed her
(He needs you)
I told her that
(He wants you)
I want her back
(He loves you)

Darlin’, don’t you wanna have some fun
Don’t you know, baby
I’m the one
Just come with me
And I’ll make you feel
Don’t you know
Babe, this love is real
But there you were
Holding back your love
All along you’re lookin’ sad
But I know you’re holding back

Deceiving me
(He loves you)
What is the key
(He needs you)
Do you believe in me
(He wants you)
Is it disgrace you see
(He loves you)
(Come home)

(Girl, I want your body)
You know I love your body
Girl, I need your body
(Why don’t you come home with me now)
Girl, I want you
(Want your body)
(Body)
Oh baby, I need you
(Why don’t you come home with me now)
Oh baby, don’t you want me
(Want your body)
(Body)
Ooh girl, I need
I need you
(Why don’t you come home with me now)

(Why don’t you come home with me now)
(Want your body)
(Body)
(Why don’t you come home with me now)

Sing it

Girl, I want
Want you body
Body
Sing it
Why don’t you come home with me now
