Jackson 5 - To Know Lyrics






To know of life
(To know of life)
Is to know what I'm living for
Touch my hand
And, baby, I'm yours

To know of love
(To know of love)
Is to know that I live for you
To be in love
Is to be there with you

(Everyday)
Everyday means so much to me
But it all depends on you
Don't you know, oh, baby
We were meant to be
Oh, and life for me
Begins and ends with you

To know you're mine
(To know you're mine)
Is to know how it used to be
Yesterday is all I can see
That's how I know
Life can be beautiful
But it all depends on you
Now that you're gone, baby

(Since you've been gone)
Just not the same, baby
Since you've been gone
Just not the same, baby

To know of us
Is what I'm still living for
But it all depends on you
Baby, it all depends on you
(Baby, come home)
To know happiness
Is to know you're here in my arms
(Baby, come home)
Let me know, let me know, let me know
What it is to live again
(Baby, come home)
(Baby, come home)

  17. S.... ....

    I never knew the J-5 did this song originally, the first time I heard it was back around 1982-83 on a version that Syreeta Wright did, produced by Jermaine and he also sang back up on it.

  18. H.... ....

    This is beautiful. Thank you. I’m glad my 2 brothers and one little sister grew up in the time of the Jackson 5. I’m the 3rd son.

  19. P.... S....

    Is it Tito who has those low voice?

    Tito is the mouthpiece of the jacksons

  23. N.... Y....

    A piece of my heart lives here.

  24. C.... M....

    Beautiful Song

  29. N.... G....

    Always loved this one from the looking through the Windows album

    N.... G....

    Should have been a Single, With that album they wrote more Mature material for the group and trying to go more soulful funk alittle. This is my 1# by them.

  30. C.... S....

    One of my favorite deep, deep, cuts. I used to know the (writer producer). Hal Davis? The Corporation? Mike sold the lead on every single cut.

  31. c.... r....

    The title says it all xx 😘 love you my tit in rusty tin x

  32. B.... ....

    "To know happiness
    Is to know you're here in my arms
    (Baby, come home)
    Let me know, let me know, let me know
    What it is to live again"

  33. N.... D....

    a real flirt in my pants but honey, it's sweet to my heart as I hear this Willie hutch ( Mr. Pam Grier) composition. it feels good when people put you down. I want to be in Hollywood so bad to record thus song with Michael's voice for a demo scratch. I love to he him say...." baby, let me know,let me know, let me know."

  34. a.... n....

    gen. love.

  35. B.... S....

    This video is so sad it's not good without Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 not singing anymore 😭😭😭😭😭I miss him so much I'm about to cry I miss him so much 😢😢😢

  36. D.... W....

    There mostly my favorite group in the whole wide world #we love you Michael Jackson

  37. r.... ....

    From my favorite Jackson album of all time, "Looking Through The Windows", title song written by Clifton Davis....

  38. T.... W....

    Background vocals that brings tears to your eyes! Those boys can sing. I'm sorry SING!

  39. N.... S....

    and uncut sbit this song banging i remeber this song

  40. V.... ....

    eres mi único Idolo y que sepan que yo no elijo a cualquiera, que te lo ganaste a pulso, nunca pense que fueses tan grande Michael, Gracias por esta increible cancion y gracias al que la subio por compartirla con todos.

    V.... ....

    tienes mucha razón grande Michael , no sé por qué nunca canto estos temas en vivo si son tan hermosos

  41. V.... ....

    esta cancion es increible, la voz de Michael Impresionante, el Puto Amo

  42. S.... s....

    Marlon and Michael use to be the same height

  43. T.... K....

    optymiskit

  44. K.... S....

    whoever put this together did a beautiful

  45. R.... V....

    A beautiful song that was the flip side of Lookin thru the Windows and sounds better today than did back in 1972! Listening to Tito's bass voice makes this track stand out!

    R.... V....

    This really sounds like the flip side of Looking Through the Window. Wow I got chills

  46. R.... W....

    Michael had what I feel was the perfect lead voice for the beginning of a new era, a group of kids that made grown women swoon.That voice, the magic of the Motown music machine had America singing and dancing like never before. They are a jewel in the triple crown of acts that broke barriers that can't be denied: Elvis, the Beatles and the Jackson Five.

    R.... W....

    Richard Warr

  47. S.... G....

    This is a classic if you were a J-5 fan from the 70's..They really tore shit up on this ballad..Listen to them in harmony an acapella!!! OMG!!! These boys was BORN to entertain!!!

    S.... G....

    im from the 70s. to. my brother knock out i play this song know group cant never sing like this

    S.... G....

    Mike and I is the same age. It was an absolutely great era. I absolutely miss the elements of black harmony and brotherhood that were present during that time. Thank God for this great music performed by this beautiful family of brothers.

  48. d.... ....

    Michael Jackson is a str8-up Mack.

  49. S.... G....

    Michael when he gets on stage he light up the stage I mean since he was little he been doing this I'm not going to call Michael Jackson anymore he does yell Mike that you like could Michael Jackson is so white Mike two pieces of my wish Mike was here but when he light up the stage it was like he left it all on the stage I mean he left all of his shyness and all his worries on the stage he was he was a good in the tank he was good top Russian song Michael God bless your soul

  50. K.... ....

    will always be the greatest of all time

  51. B.... ....

    And just when I thought I've heard all of J5's songs. What a gem!

    B.... ....

    kelly cherisse that's what I was just thinking, wow

  52. K.... S....

    aww so beautiful just not the same without Michael Jackson

  53. R.... E....

    I love this song so much. He had such mature lyrics.

  54. m.... ....

    this song.. my god, this song!!!

  55. L.... L....

    they were some very handsome boys

  56. T.... U....

    God Michael was truly amazing... I never stop being amazed by him... what a person he was... wow...
    Just listen to this ! It's amazing ! those vocals oh my god ! How old was he ? It's so perfect...

    T.... U....

    Uh, MICHAEL did not do this all by himself. His brothers, those great musicians, the production team, the arrangers ect, HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THIS. This is the JACKSON 5, NOT MICHAEL JACKSON as a SOLO performer.

  57. C.... A....

    To know of life is to know what I'm living for

    C.... A....

    Consuela Allen they singing the hell out this song, first time I'm hearing it, and I'm s long time fan since 82

  61. D.... H....

    I love this song

    D.... H....

    I do to true hi fi let's you know there's still beauty in the world

  62. E.... ....

    I loved Mike vocals on this song. ☺️

    E.... ....

    Did you hear their new album "Rare Pearls?" If so what are your top five or three favorites off that album?

    E.... ....

    +ramon baugh I love "If I had to move a mountain" I love Mike soulful voice on there, and I also liked "I got a sure thing" what about you?

    E.... ....

    Well, I love most of their "Lookin' Through The windows" session songs. "Going My Way" (Jermaine is amazing on that song. It really meant to be on his solo album Come Into My Life.) "Makin' Life Alittle Easier For You" (The brother show so much harmony with that song.) "Up On The Roof" (Awesome cover. Mike goes hit notes on the very end with Jermaine.) "Would Ya Would Ya Baby" (was amazing too. I always loved that funky groove to it. It has the sound to make you dance. )
    "Label Me Love" Is a also a favorite. "Love Trip" That was an outtake from Skywriter, It should be worked a bit more on then it could have been a huge single. It has that type of Fifth Dimension group sound) "Jumbo Sam"
    "Keep Off The Grass" and "Let's Go Back To Day One" These songs should have been mega hits. (Too Me)

    E.... ....

    +ramon baugh oh yea, those are good ones as well.

    E.... ....

    Johnny raven thanks for sharing I loved reading this thread and going to listen to all these songs

  63. B.... D....

    What a Bass line!! Great job Jermaine...

  64. A.... ....

    I never remember all the J5 songs but I like this ! Cute song! With real meaning to it! HappyJ5 thanks!

  65. D.... ....

    This Song To Know by The Jackson 5. Was Taken from their Looking Through The Windows LP.

    D.... ....

    This my number 1# along with "One More chance" song from them. "I'll Be There" is a great song but not my number 1# favorite of all time. This should have been put out as a single. Should have made the top ten at number 2# at least.

    D.... ....

    Yeah 1972 release.

  66. P.... ....

    I loved it! Beautiful song, beutiful pictures... I really loved it, congratulations :)

  67. 2.... ....

    wow.  you just can't teach this. I would love to have been one of those old folks at Motown when they were producing these records.  I know those folks were saying "wow!  Did 'so and so' just take him in the back and show how to do that?"

  68. j.... ....

    Its something, how you remember every note, where the horns come in, how much fun you had singing all these J5 songs downstairs in Carol's basement almost every weekend...: ). Great montage, by the way.

    j.... ....

    jobracie.

  69. s.... ....

    Al B Sure copied the beat of this song in his 'Still in love with you' song. He even made his own version of 'Lady of my life', and did a duet song with Diana Ross, lol.

    0:20 MJ was in love with Diana Ross, not Cher, lol.

    1:00 Pure fantasy of la la land of falsehood, lol.

    s.... ....

    @iloveyou75204 Al B. Sure Still in Love with you was a cover of Al Green's song. Not this beat

    s.... ....

    @kgalford Ok. But it sounds like this beat more than Al Green's. Point is, is that he copied this beat regardless where Al B Sure got it from, he copied it was my point, lol.  

    s.... ....

    I believe this song, produced and arranged by "The Corporation", kinda copied the the Al Green Memphis feel..

  70. K.... Y....

    one of the hidden treasures from the Jackson 5

    K.... Y....

    You can say that again😆

    K.... Y....

    yeah, only true fans know about the velvet vocals on this one.

    K.... Y....

    Karl Youngman
    b side!!!

  71. J.... S....

    such a beautiful ballad.

  72. M.... C....

    It's the first time I hear this! Michael is always amazing!!!

    M.... C....

    Mayett C.A. I grew up on this ☺

    M.... C....

    tomorrow is his birthday so excited!! 😍😍😍

    M.... C....

    Why do y'all always respect Michael but not his brothers

    M.... C....

    Me too😅

  73. P.... C....

    Michael we've been apart too long! I want to come home! Can you make that happen? I love you very deeply my angel for all eternity! 

  74. P.... C....

    Yes, I am coming home, don't worry! I love you my angel, Michael We are Forever!

  75. l.... ....

    some of these comments are rude as hell,, this person goes to the trouble to put together this vid an people wanna complain,, the nerve,, anyways i love ur interpretation for the vid its done well an its a great underrated jackson 5 song real r&b soulful joint, i appreciate the work put into the vid as well thank u for the upload*

  76. c.... j....

    best group ever!!! 404krap is a hater.

  77. 2.... ....

    In today's world, I pity the child born with a talent like this. And to think that modern America discards Joe Jackson as a misguided parent. A child today channeling this genius would destroy a family and would be destroyed by his or her own talent's inability to trump the vices of life.

  78. s.... ....

    Love the song, hate the video. It's made based on your intrepertation.

  79. s.... ....

    Love the song, hate the video. It's made based on your intrepertation.

  82. i.... ....

    Love this song <3.

  83. i.... ....

    Love this song, aww!

  84. i.... ....

    Love this song, aww!

  85. T.... ....

    Absolutely killer bass lines in this song..... sounds like Jameson work... he's a motown master.

  86. 2.... ....

    you know sometimes I think most of us are in the habit of singing along with records we like for enjoyment. When this song comes on its no different, except at about :15 seconds in I just shut my mouth because there is no sound from my voice that can even remotely approximate the beautiful delivery of that feathery soft part of the record.

    I often wonder if Motown had older artists come in a offer samples of ways the songs he lead on could be delivered particularly this part of the song

  87. J.... G....

    this makes me spin round 7 times!!!

  88. K.... J....

    I WAS ONLY 5YRS OLD WHEN THIS CAME OUT, BUT I REMEMBER IT, AND I ALSO REMEMBER MY UNCLES THINKING THEY WERE THE JACKSON 5! SHOUT OUT TO MY UNCLES, DERRICK, RONNY, AND VAN BOSWELL!

  89. k.... ....

    The artists made nothing? Doubt that. I need to check out Jakcie's lp ,thanks. Lumbia lighten up on Motown .They discovered and developed more superstar acts than any company and had more hits than any , except possibly Atlantic on the pop charts and no one comes close on the soul charts.

  90. N.... C....

    This is one of my favourite J5 tracks, it's awesome. Yeah, strange they never put it on compilations, because it's one of the best tracks from Lookin' Thru the Windows. Maybe there's a reason, there must be, 'cos surely it's one of the greatest tracks ever!

  91. k.... ....

    Same thing with the " Got to Be There " album. releasing a re-make like Rockin Robin, which was a big hit, but not releasing original gems like "Wings of my Love" to Radio. One Day in Your Life didn't have a chance in the US, because those without the album probably never heard it.. It went to number one in the UK six years later. Motown did have great albums though and some of the songs would have this fate. Back then actss usually only released two singles per album.

  92. N.... C....

    This is one of my favourite J5 tracks, superb! Thanks for making a great video for it. It is one of the best songs of ALL time!

  93. K.... J....

    REMEMBER THIS ONE, UNCLE VAN?

  94. 1.... ....

    Michael, "since you've been gone...
    Just not the same, baby."

  95. k.... ....

    Motown blew it by not releasing this song as a s ingle! Several other J5 songs also were good enough to be on the radio but were not released!

  96. D.... S....

    This is my jam!!!!!!! The bside of corner of the side
