[Intro: The Jackson 5]
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson & The Jackson 5]
It's so poor, boy, to hurt his girl
And to watch her walk away cryin’ (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
When all along, you know he's wrong
To be so hard on a girl that's tryin’ (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I was so unkind to hurt you so
Goin' out of my mind, I just gotta let you know, yeah

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson, The Jackson 5]
I remember you said you would always care
Until death should we will part (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
And it surely must be my destiny
To die one day after a broken heart (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
So before I become a wandering rover
Let's get together and talk things over
[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding

[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson & Michael Jackson]
That's all it is
Baby, let’s talk it over, ah yeah
(Please)

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson & Jermaine Jackson]
You love him so long that it just seems wrong
That our love should never be
You could be anywhere, baby, I wouldn’t care
If I thought that you needed me
All the chains in the world couldn't hold me
Like a robot your love controls me (Yeah)

[Chorus: The Jackson 5, Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson]
Baby, I can’t let you go (Baby)
I realize I hurt you so
Our love surely can be mended
(Let's talk it over)
It's just a little misunderstanding
Baby, I can't let you go (Please forgive me)
I realize I hurt you so (Let’s talk it over)
Our love surely can be mended (Please forgive me)
It's just a little misunderstanding (Let's talk it over)
(Let's talk it over)
[Chorus: The Jackson 5 & Michael Jackson]
Baby, I can't let you go (Please forgive me)
I realize I hurt you so (Let's talk it over)
Our love
