[Intro: Michael Jackson]
Mhm, yeah, yeah, oh
Ah yeah, now, now, now, mhm, yeah

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
How many times have you heard that sad story
About people who have no friends, yeah
Step by step they're on a lonesome road
Tears and saddened heart all they'll only know

Know you must have seen somebody
Walking with their head hanging down, yeah
Wishing for a friend to come their way
And hoping for a new and brighter day, woo

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Take heed, and love your fellow man
(Well, well, well, uh-huh)
You and I want to be loved, yeah
(Well, well, well, uh-huh)
When you're down, it's so hard to get back up
(Well, well, well, uh-huh)
Trying hard but running into doors that shut
(Well, well, well)

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Listen, I'll tell you how, yeah
Listen, I'll tell you how, yeah
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
If you're looking for a chance to move it on up
To get yourself on the right track, ooh
Remember to help and love your brother
When you're in need, he'll pay you back, ooh-ooh
When you see your brother, give him a smile
Shake his hand and wish him good will
By starting to trust and respect each other
The blowing winds of hate will be still, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
Take heed, and love your fellow man
(Well, well, well, uh-huh)
You and I want to be loved, yeah
(Well, well, well, uh-huh)
When you're down, it's so hard to get back up
(Well, well, well, uh-huh)
Trying hard but running into doors that shut
(Well, well, well)

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Listen, I'll tell you how, yeah
Listen, I'll tell you how

[Outro: Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5]
How, how, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-ooh
(Ooh, listen, I'll tell you how)
I'll tell you how to get along, yeah
Take heed, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Ooh, listen, I'll tell you how)
I'll tell you how to love, yeah
Ooh, na-na-na-na, yeah, yeah
(Ooh, listen, I'll tell you how)
