Take Me Back is a track also writen by Holand & Holland.

Lyrics

Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That's with you baby
Ah take me back
Take me back where I belong
That's with you baby

I thought the grass was green on the other side
Thought the sun shone brighter without saying goodbye
There's a card in my hand
Tears fall like rain
I wanna come home again
I want you to...

Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That's with you baby
Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That's with you baby
Ain't no love in this world
Ain't no love in this world without you

In my search to find myself
I saw your face and nothing else
Every place I go everything I do
I still feel the need for you
Come on and...

Take me back
Take me back where I belong
That's with you baby
Ah take me back
Take me back where I belong
That's with you baby

I'm on my way back to you
And I wanna make it up to you
And all the prolems that I caused you
If ti takes my life I'll make it up to you
I just want you to take me, take me
Take me, take me, take me, take me

Take me back, forgive me
Take me back where I belong
If you can, if you can find it
In your heart to forgive me

Michael Jackson singles chronology
"With a Child's Heart" (1973) "We're Almost There" (1975) "Just a Little Bit of You" (1975)

"We're Almost There" is a 1975 song released as a single by singer Michael Jackson, and which was the first release off his final Motown album, Forever, Michael. The single showcased Jackson's tenor more prominently than in previous releases the past year. The song is a soul-type of ballad that sparked a departure from the singer's previous material which had included bubblegum pop. As Jackson's voice matured, Motown found it difficult to find material to suit Jackson, who had sung in a higher voice for most of the duration of his Motown (1969-1975) tenure. With the return of the Holland brothers Brian and Edward, Motown had the duo write a collection of songs to fit Jackson's age. The duo composed this song and the modest hit, "Just a Little Bit of You", which became a top forty hit after this single was released. Performing more modestly, the song eventually peaked at number fifty-four on the pop chart while hitting number seven on the R&B chart. These two singles would end up being the last Jackson released as an active Motown artist though the label would release more Jackson singles until 1984.

LYRICS

No matter how hard
The task may seem
Don't give up our plans
Don't give up our dreams

No broken bridges
Can turn us around
Cause what we're searchin' for
Will soon be found

[Refrain]
Cause we're almost there
Just one more step
(Cause we're almost there)
Just one more step
(Just one more step)
Don't give up
'Cause we're almost all almost there
('Cause we're almost there)

(Look at the lovers)
Look at the lonely lovers
That didn't make it
Life's long hard climb
(Life's long hard climb)
They just couldn't take it
(They just couldn't take it)

Don't let it happen to me and you
Hold on together, darlin'
We'll make it through

Darlin', keep on reachin' out for me
Keep on reachin, do it for me
Do it for me, cause baby

[Refrain]
('Cause we're almost there)
(We're almost there)
('Cause we're almost there)

We're so close
I can taste it
A life so sweet
Can't afford to waste it
(Can't afford to waste it)

Need to feel your hand
Slippin' from mine?
Just hold on tighter now, darlin'
Keep on tryin'

[Refrain]
Baby, do it for me, do it do it baby
(Cause we're almost there)
Just one more step
(We're almost there)
Don't give up
(Cause we're almost there)
Just one more step

Baby baby, don't give up
('Cause we're almost there)
Keep on, keep on
(We're almost there)
Just one more step
('Cause we're almost there)
Cause we're almost there

[Instrumental]

Juste one more step
Cause we're almost there
We've come to far
To turn around

Ooh!!

Keep on reachin'
For higher ground
We've had our ups and we've had our downs
Let nothin' in the world darlin'
Turn us around

Cause we're almost there
We're almost there
We're almost there

Everything we're lookin' for
We're almost there
Keep on reachin' out for me

Cause we're almost there darlin'
We're almost there
We're almost there darlin'
We're almost there
We're almost there

Ah we're almost there

"We're Almost There" Released: February 1975 "Just a Little Bit of You" Released: April 1975 "One Day in Your Life" Released: June 1975 (UK only)

Forever, Michael is the fourth solo album by American singer Michael Jackson, released by the Motown label in 1975 selling 1.5 million copies worldwide. The album was reissued in 2009 as part of the 3-disc compilation Hello World: The Motown Solo Collection.

Album information

The album was Jackson's fourth as a solo artist and would end up being his final album released with Motown before he and his brothers (The Jackson 5) left for CBS Records a year later. This album displayed a change in musical style for the sixteen-year-old, who adopted a smoother soul sound that he would continue to develop on his later solo records for Epic Records.
Most of the tracks were recorded in 1974, and the album was originally set to be released that year. However, because of demand from the Jackson 5's huge hit "Dancing Machine", production on Jackson's album was delayed until the hype from that song died down.
The album helped return Jackson to the top 40, aided by the singles "We're Almost There" and "Just a Little Bit of You", both written by the Holland Brothers (Eddie and Brian) of Holland–Dozier–Holland.

In 1981 Motown released "One Day in Your Life" as a single, coupled with the One Day in Your Life compilation album release, to capitalize off Jackson's Off the Wall success on Epic. The single went to number one in the UK, becoming the 6th best-selling single of 1981 in the UK.

Track listing

Trivia

• This is the only Michael Jackson studio album that doesn't share a name with one of the songs on the album.

1. Don't Stop till You Get Enough

2. Rock with You - The tune is very laid back and an easy listening. The lyrics also describe the laid back mood when he ask the girl to dance and get into the dance and embrace the magic of love then only you can appreciate love even if the dance has stop. Good one i might say... Rod Temperton is a genius!
The image of Michael smiling keeps appearing in my head everytime i listen to this song. you can feel the happy vibe/feeling emitting from his voice. Another plus point is his video clip . I like it, i dont know whether it was something different at that time but im sure it did make a difference. So distinct with a dark surrounding and green disco light from the back keeps the focus on MJ and creates that association with the current Disco craze in 1979. Probably not the first time he wore clothes with glitter sequin/rhinestones (i dont know) but probably the only one with glitters all over from top to toe. Another clip that he appeared alongside D.Ross was also a popular eith both of them wearing the same - white suit and glittering shirt. He moved to perfection!

I give it a 10 out of 10
