[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl

[Verse 1: Jermaine Jackson]
Mama, life for me now
Is a new sensation
Just like you said it would be
With the right situation
Now love has a meaning
And I have a goal
This feeling inside me now
Makes yesterday a hundred years old
Now I understand (Understand)
What it is to be a man, baby (To be a man)
The way you explained it to me that day
You said only the right girl can make you feel this way

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl, yeah, yeah
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl

[Interlude: Jermaine Jackson]
She said, "Son, all that messin' around
There's a good girl who's out there to be found"
[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl

[Interlude: Jermaine Jackson, Jackie Jackson, Jermaine & Michael]
So you found that girl, Jermaine?
That's right, Jack, I found her
But before you get hung up on one, have you seen all the fine, foxy girls here in L.A.?
Say that again
Have you seen all the fine, foxy girls here in L.A.?
Well, you know, I know it's a lot of them out there but I haven't found mine
I'll tell you what, Jermaine: Say, why don't you rap to all the lovely girls in the house tonight
I can't do that
How come?
My rap is too heavy for them, they can't dig it
Well, there's only one way to find out
And what's that?
Do yours, brother
Won't you take me with you
Won't you take me with you, girl
I need one thing, I know now, darlin'
I wanna be your man, oh no, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus: The Jackson 5]
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl
Mama, oh Mama, I found that girl
