The Jackson 5 - If You Want Heaven

Girl, wishing won’t get you to heaven
If you were meant to be heaven for me
Stop treating me like you do, ooh, angel
Ooh, never love lost may forgiven

Where you been sitting in Sunday school
Show us that old golden rule
You better be good, girl

If you want heaven you gotta
Make heaven all by yourself (reach out)
If you want heaven you gotta
Make heaven for somebody else (reach out)
Can’t go around thinking just
Of yourself love will pass you by if you do
Hey, girl!
You’ve causing your heart lots of trouble
Caught in your own little bubble of love
Wondering why you get blue, ooh baby

So, quiet and shy, yeah, that’s you girl
Sweet as a cake all the way through
(reach out)
You can’t have your cake and love to
You know you’ve gotta reach out

If you want heaven you gotta
Make heaven all by yourself (reach out)
If you want heaven you gotta
Make heaven for somebody else (reach out)
Can’t go around thinking just
Of yourself love will pass you by if you do

Oh, reach out, reach out
Ooh, if you want heaven (oh, reach out)
Ooh, if you want heaven (oh, reach out)

If you want heaven you gotta
Make heaven all by yourself
(reach out) , oh yes you do now
If you want heaven you gotta
Make heaven for somebody else (reach out)
If you want heaven you gotta make
It heaven all by yourself
(reach out) , oh, you yes you do now
If you want heaven, yeah, yeah, yeah
(reach out)
