Jackson 5 - Mama's Pearl Lyrics






You send cold chills up and down my spine
We kiss for thrills, then you draw the line oh baby (oh baby)
Cause your mama told you that love ain't right
But don't you know that lovin' is the spice of life, yeah.

[Chorus:]
Mama's pearl, let down those curls
Let me give my love a whirl
Find what you been missing (what you been missing)
Ooh ooh now baby

Goody girl, let down those curls
Let me give your heart a twirl
Don't keep me wishin' (keep me wishin')
(Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum bum
bum ba bum ba bum ba bum bum bum
bum ba bum ba bum ba bum bum
Bum ba bum ba bum ba bum bum bum)

You want my lovin' yes you do do do (Yes you do, I know you do)
Know my lovin' is true true true now baby (Oh baby)
But your conscience tells you that love is wrong (Love is wrong, ooh)
But don't you know that lovin' never hurt no one, oh.

[Chorus]

Let it all hang out (Girl don't be afraid
Oh we've got the first step made
Ooh, the rest is up to you
Here is what you do, let yourself go)
Let yourself just go, now now now
Let your lovin' flow, 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
Find out what you're missing
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
Just give in, just give in to me
Cause I've got what you need
Got what you need
(Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Let yourself go)
Let yourself just go, let your lovin' flow
Just give it to me
(Cause I've got what you need got what you need)
(Mama's pearl, don't be afraid
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Daddy's girl we've got it made
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love)
Find out what you been missing sugar
Goody goody goody girl
(Mama's pearl, don't be afraid
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love
Daddy's girl we've got it made
Let's fall in love, let's fall in love)

    T.... M....

    Michael didn't right this...the Funk Brothers did and Barry Gordy ripped them off for the rights. Funk Brothers foe Life!

  51. D.... G....

    the j5 was the best i was 11 years old back then55 now 1971 was a good year

  52. c.... 6....

    I love the base guitar and Micheal Jacksons singing. It's fantastic.
    R.I.P

  53. A.... L....

    LOL! Such a highly inappropriate song for a little boy (or anyone really) to be singing...

  54. c.... 6....

    This song is awsome

  55. t.... j....

    HAVE NO IDEA WAAT THIS SONG MEANS

  56. g.... k....

    I feel you no the J5 didn't get a Grammy , by the time mama`s pearl came out the novelty had worn off of this cute little act and many were burned out on bubblegum. besides there was a lot of stiff competition in the music industry in the 70`s. Can you say Stevie F. Wonder? Elton John, Earth Wind and Fire, Curtis Mayfield, Chaka Kahn just to name a very few.

    g.... k....

    gary kelly EWF first top 40 pop hit was Mighty Mighty and much later( 1973) than Mamas Pearl. Rufus first Tell me something Good was after also. J5 had hits every 6 months! By 1972 they had played out.

    g.... k....

    gary kelly , early 70's (1970 - 1971) competition for the J5. You can Google these acts and see what hits they hand during this time. Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, the Chi Lites, Delphonics, Temptations, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Gladys Knight and the Pips, the Isley Brothers, WAR, and that doesn't even scratch the surface .

  57. h.... ....

    I love this mix of the song, the first one was a little flat

  58. K.... A....

    This is the first 45 record I remember buying as a kid. Will always be a favorite.

  59. M.... ....

    I LOVE THIS SONG. I WAS 14 YEARS OLD.......I THOUGHT I WAS MICHAEL! REST IN PEACE. 2017.

  60. T.... M....

    Growing up with the musical sensation that was the Jackson 5 was an experience that was like no other time in history, the present and certainly whatever the future holds.  The Seventies was a wonderful time to be alive and living!!!

  61. j.... ....

    Bubble, gum music! Nothing like it in the whole wide world! 1971, was a beautiful time being a teenager!

  62. S.... J....

    This is genuine, pure,  rock and roll: tuneful melody, strong rhythm, and heartfelt singing. Perfection.

  63. P.... J....

    Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, but is he the King of Hoaxes?

    Trilogy of documentaries PROVE 100% Michael Jackson Faked his Death!

    Propofol proves the corpse was a decoy!

    C.... J....

    @Living With Lexyy it's fine 😊

    C.... J....

    @CandyLee72 Sorry.....I was born the day The Beatles had the top 5 songs on the charts in America. No doubt they were talented...but the Jackson 5 had my heart! This is talent......I never saw The Beatles dancing....LOL ;)

    C.... J....

    @Lorraine Rutherford The Beatles were my mom's generation but I grew up loving them and their music.But my heart also belongs to Michael Jackson.Thriller was my first album and I enjoyed the Jackson 5 cartoon as a kid

    C.... J....

    @CandyLee72 Beatles were my mom's generations, too. Being born in 1964, I didn't get into music in a huge way until I was 5...so I love the Jackson 5! Yes, I remember the cartoons as a kid, too. :) You have great taste in tunes!

  69. E.... S....

    It's MJs feelings snd emotions coming thru his vocals... he COULD (Still can thru recordings) touch your SOUL..atleast for me..that is what makes him so SPECIAL!!

    o.... ....

    real music has that Effect on you

    o.... ....

    I'm 14 but ok

  74. M.... ....

    Feb 1971.. Cindy Polaski and I

  75. C.... M....

    Love that song. Cant get enough of it.

  76. A.... H....

    love it

  77. I.... A....

    I cannot stop singing this song

  78. J.... P....

    4 number 1 hits off this album and no grammy for the year everyone. some racial bullshit then

    J.... P....

    Right On Brother! DY_NO_MITE!

    J.... P....

    @ Foster Mac....good stay angry.

    J.... P....

    Stevie wonder had close to the most Grammy wins and most were at this time

    J.... P....

    Bubble gum pop don't get grammys.

    J.... P....

    Stevie Wonder and Roberta Flack won so many Grammy's at the time, I was certain it was fixed. I think they're black.

  79. T.... W....

    How wasn't this a big hit?

    T.... W....

    Exactly

    T.... W....

    it stalled at number 2 otherwise that would be 5 or six number one hits

    T.... W....

    Thanks for the info, gentleman.

    T.... W....

    Keshun Grantham

    The reason why it wasn't a big hit was because in 1971, The Temptations song 'Just My Imagination' was number one.

    T.... W....

    It was for us in the 70's

  80. m.... ....

    Virtually most, if not all, of the Jackson Five songs from their first 4 albums appeared on the cartoon show on Saturday Mornings including this one from the episode where the fivesome had trouble finding a girl of their own.

  81. A.... W....

    Love it when Jermaine comes in on "Let's fall in love, let's fall in lo-ooove"

    A.... W....

    Jermaine and Micheal flow so well together

    A.... W....

    Man, there are SO many things I enjoy about this song; it has all the all the elements that made this group so appealing: a terrific pop song, a great arrangement that builds throughout, excellent musicianship and vocals, and a big 'ol dose of fun. GOODY GOODY GIRL!!!

    A.... W....

    Yes, I love Michael and Jermaine voices together. Too bad Jermaine left the group so soon.

  82. S.... J....

    he was one of the best ,no body will ever be better than him his

    S.... J....

    On point.

  83. T.... J....

    I love this song so much! It's so catchy, I can't stop singing it!
