“One More Chance” by the Jackson 5 (1970)


I used to LOVE this song. I felt it described Michael’s later years so well and it was nice to hear a younger MJ singing it. Kind of a bookend now, it seems.

Everybody loves the star when he’s on the top
But no one ever comes around when he starts to drop
But you were someone special, you stuck through thick and thin
But I was much too busy trying to shine to let your love shine in

Let you slip away, I must have been insane
Stop in the name of love, don’t make me live my life in vain

Give me one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
Just one more chance
Ill make it up to you
Just one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
Ill build you a world for two
Ill make it up to you

Now since I’m all alone, I’m talking to myself
I know you’re out there somewhere having fun with someone else
But a distant voice of hope echoes from within, sayin’
Don’t give up, your ship is comin’ in

Though my ship’s alone, I’ll play right to the end
I’m crying outside heaven’s door. Won’t you let me back in?

Give me one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I’ll make it up to you
Just one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
I’ll build you a world for two
I’ll make it up to you

You’ll never know what I’ve been through
Let your love shine in again, this time I’ll shine with you

Give me one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
Just one more chance
I’ll make it up to you
Just one more chance
That’s all I ask of you
I’ll build you a world for two
I’ll make it up to you…
