Art Of Madness
By Jermaine Jackson, Michael Omartian, Bruce Sudano
I can't help the things I do
Tho' they might seems strange
to you
Got my mind just spinnin' round
Inside, outside, upside down
(Chorus)
There's an art to all this madness
Tho' it seems insane to you
There's a rhyme to all the reason
In everything I do
Have you any imagination
Of what I'm goin' though
There's art to all this madness
I'm just crazy over you
People just can't understand
They don't think I'm a normal
So tell me why they walk around
Using half of their brain
You tell me now who's insane
(Chorus)
There's an art to all this madness
Tho' it seems insane to you
There's a rhyme to all the reason
In everything I do
Have you any imagination
Of what I'm goin' though
There's art to all this madness
I'm just crazy over you
I went to the doctor the other day
Just to make sure if I was OK
The diagnosis said I was totally insane
I found out the doctor used half of his brain
(Repeat Chorus)
Nothin' (That Compares 2 U)
By L.A. Reid, Babyface
I'll give my all and all
To you and no other woman
Never will I let you down
Never will I do wrong
And I'll give my heart and soul
And hope that you will never let
me go
Never had a woman so fine
And if I give my love completely
(Will U love me in return)
And if it's in your heart than
show me
Then you'll never have to worry
Cause I'll always be around
(Chorus)
Nothin
And I do mean nothin
Nothin that compares 2 U
You're so fine that I'm scared
of you
Nothin
And I do mean nothin
Nothin that compares 2 U
You're so fine that I'm scared
of you
I'll give my everything
To you and have no other
Ever since I fell in love
Never have have I been down
You've been the only one
Promise my one and only lover
Never has my love been so sound
And if you give your heart
completely
I will never let you go
And I will love you so sweetly
You will never have to worry
Cause I'll always be around
(Chorus)
Nothin
And I do mean nothin
Nothin that compares 2 U
You're so fine that I'm scared
of you
Nothin
And I do mean nothin
Nothin that compares 2 U
You're so fine that I'm scared
of you
And if I give my love completely
Will you love me in return
And if it's in your heart than
show me
Then you'll never have to worry
Cause I'll always be around
(Chorus)
Nothin
And I do mean nothin
Nothin that compares 2 U
You're so fine that I'm scared
of you
Nothin
And I do mean nothin
Nothin that compares 2 U
You're so fine that I'm scared
of you

Private Affair
By Diane Warren
Darling what are you going
When the sun goes down
There are things we could do
Why don't you come come around
There's a party tonight
That you're invited to
It's a party that's just for me
and you
(Chorus)
Heartbeat to heartbeat
So close together
Let the moment come
And carry us away
Tonight tonight
The time is right
The big night
For a private affair
Close your eyes
Tune out the world outside
Hold me tight it's a private affair
Now there's soft music playing
On the stereo and some rhythm
To take you where you want to go
There'll be nobody calling on the telephone
You're with me darling, will be
all alone
It's a special occasion
It's a celebration
And I made a reservation
For just me and you
(Chorus)
Heartbeat to heartbeat
So close together
Let the moment come
And carry us away

Memories of growing up
And working hard
Our childhood passed us by
Mom and Dad
They sacrificed their wants
and need
So we could reach the light
Although the times were tough
for us
We knew they both worked hard
They gave us all their hearts
could give
And still made room for love
We're all united
And standing strong
And still today
We're one big family
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
In harmony, together we'll join
Hands and sign
Our love across the land
Remember we always said, if we
got a change
We'll plan our work
And work our master plan
Although the road of life is tough
It has its ups and downs
We are the one and all
We can conquer all
We are united
And standing strong
And still today we're one
big family
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
Mother and Father
They raised us to be
The best that we could be
Now the stage is set
The curtain's up
The crowd applauds your name
Then give a smile
Let's do your best
No matter how far we go
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
2300 Jackson Street
Always home
Harley

I have a love
You gotta see
She's real tough, an' lookin'
real mean
I turn her on
I have key
The sound she makes excites me
The way she sits
The way she moves
Her body parts
Just makes you wanna groove
If you see her
Stop an' take a stare
If you look around
The lady won't be there
She's bad, bad
She's bad
She's bad, bad
She's bad, bad
She's bad
Can I take you for a ride
On my motorbike
(Chorus)
Can I take you for a ride
On my motorbike

Bad say yeah
You will be surprised
Just how smooth she glides
She's Harley and
She's bad say yeah
Can I take you for a ride
On my motorbike
It's Harley and she's
Bad say yeah
You will be surprised
Just how smooth she glides
She's Harley and
She's bad say yeah
Got on top of her
I cool her out
We cruise the town
Went all about
That's the way she lived
Told me she didn't know
Gonna take her to this place
Called 2300 Jackson Street
She bad, bad
She's bad
She's bad, bad
She's bad, bad
She's bad
(Chorus)
Can I take you for a ride
On my motorbike

She loves

I have found a lady
That's so real to reality
She's the kind of lady
That's so fresh and dressed to the T
Flowers, fancy car, diamonds
and gold
She wears it well
She's the kind that's close to me
And flower can't you tell
She's mine
She's mine
And she's fine
And I know so deep in my heart
I really need her
And I know that
She-is the one I love
She-one I'm thinking of
She-that girl blows my mind
She- I know my girl is fine
Leather and lace and designer
pantyhose
She looks so good to me
Bad from head to toe
Body so hot
Looks so good
She makes me sweat
I know I love that girl
I know I can't forget her
She's mine
She's mine
And she's fine
And I know so deep in my heart

She's-lady of my dreams
She's-not the way it seems
She

And I know that

Alright With Me
By Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Tito Jackson, A. Zane Giles
Yah tell me lies
It brings me down down
I sacrifice do all I can for you
Then you throw me away
It's hard to figure out
If you want me
If you need me
I just have to wait and see
(Chorus)
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
There's nothing you can do
To turn and make me walk away
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
There's nothing you can do
I don't care what people say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Must be love
You misused the person in me
(yeah you did)
Like a hand in glove
Always thought that's how we
should be
If I turn back the time
When you were all mine
Try to love you
Try to please you
I just have to wait and see
(Chorus)
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
There's nothing you can do
To turn and make me walk away
Alright it's alright
Alright with me
There's nothing you can do
I don't care what people say
I'm gonna love you anyway
Play It Up
By Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Randall Jackson, Tito Jackson, A. Zane Giles
You've been sitting here thinking
Rather or not
He's gonna be with you
Give it up babe
Not meant to be this time
If he's not gonna love ya
Then don't worry 'bout losin'
his love
You'll make it up baby
Don't let it get you down
I can show you what love is
all about
You're such a treat so candy sweet
With one chance I'll love away
All your doubts
Won't you be mine
(Chorus)
Let's have a good time
Play it up
Just play it on up
Play it up
Just play it on up
Just it on up baby
Don't let it get you down
Show expression in whatever
you do
Gain possession
Keep control of your mind
Wake up baby
Don't let get you down
Cryin' just don't make sense
Another victim of his evil game
I'll treat you right baby
Girl you should be mine
I can show you what love is
all about
You're such a treat so candy sweet
With one chance I'll love away
All your doubts
Won't you be mine
(Chorus)
Let's have a good time
Play it up
Just play it on up
Play it up
Just play it on up
Don't let it get you down
Midnight Rendezvous
By Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Randall Jackson, Tito Jackson, A. Zane Giles
Gettin' close to midnight
I feel the trouble in the air
Livin' here in the city life
So it seems they just don't care
She said groove all night
I said it's gotta be alright
She said take my advice
The night just began
Let's get down
(Chorus)
Midnight rendezvous
Ah where people go
Can't help but get loose
Midnight rendezvous
This place uptown
Where they all get down
Wall to wall people jumpin'
A lot of babes are in this place
I don't care if she belongs to him
I'm gonna stare back in her face
She said take my advice
She says groove all night
You said wanna start a fight
I said take my advice
And yeah the night has just begun
Let's get down
(Chorus)
Midnight rendezvous
Ah where people go
Can't help but get loose
Midnight rendezvous
This place uptown
Where they all get down
Ah no
Ah groove all night long
Groove on
All my baby, baby, baby
Dance with me 'til mornin'
Midnight rendezvous
If You'd Only Believe
By Billie Hughes, Roxanne Seeman, Jermaine Jackson
I have seen love make men stagger
Prey on their weakness and wound
their pride
But you won't be touched by
its dagger
When you're close by my side
(And) I will climb with you the
mountain
Sail the shining deep blue sea
'Til we find a place where we
can go
Where a soul can be free
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If you'd only believe
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What your love means to me
And if the sky comes
tumbling down
Raining too hard for you to see
That's the time when you need
someone around
And who's got a shoulder like me?
Can you tell me what you're
feeling now
Open your heart so you can see
In this world there are so
many ways
We can get what we need
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If you'd only believe
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What your love means to me
Why should the sky come
falling down
Why should it rain on you and me
Just remember when you need
someone around
Who loves you more than me?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If you'd only believe
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What your love means to me
