The Jackson 5 (also spelled The Jackson Five, sometimes stylized The Jackson 5ive), later known as The Jacksons, or simply Jacksons, are an American popular music family group from Gary, Indiana. Founding group members Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Marlon Jackson and Michael Jackson formed the group after performing in an early incarnation called The Jackson Brothers, which originally consisted of a trio of the three older brothers. Active from 1964 to 1990, the Jacksons played from a repertoire of R&B, soul, pop and (in the 1970s) disco.

You're shiftless and you're lazy 
Just like the hound dog Daisy 
I had when Grandma raised me, honey chile 
When Granny got to old to scorn me 
Dear old Auntie warned me 
You sure was no good for me, honey chile 

But your kiss is sweeter than the cake 
That Grandma used to make 
All the sweet li'l things about you 
Sure enough taste like cake 
You ain't gonna amount to nothin' 
But you ain't gonna work for nothin' 
Without you I'm good for nothin', honey chile 

Honey chile, sure about to drive you wild 
I love you so, keep me goin' now, honey chile 
Sugar chile, I won't need a country mile 
Just to be with you, exactly true now, honey chile 

I try to act like a lady 
But you've been goin' with Sade 
Your reputation's gained me 
Hey, you even took out Sally 
Who lives across the alley 
Oh I've been keepin' a tally, honey chile 

You're like the grapes upon the vine 
The grapes in Granny's wine 
A vine that always was so sweet 
But you're not happy not outside now 
You ain't nothin' but a playboy 
Usin' me for a play toy 
You're ruinin' my pride and joy now, honey chile 

Honey chile, sure about to drive you wild 
I love you so, keep me goin' now, honey chile 
Sugar chile, I won't need a country mile 
Just to be with you, exactly true now, honey chile  

Listen here now 
One day I'm gonna get stronger 
And I won't need you no longer 
This feelin' will be gone now, honey chile 
Hey, now I can't take disgracin' 
That ain't the way Granny raised me 
You're gonna have the gravy, honey chile 

Sugar chile, I won't need a country mile 
Just to be with you, exactly true now, honey chile 
Hey, honey chile, sure about to drive you wild 
I love you so, keep me goin' now, honey chile
