Mama, oh mama, I found that girl
Mama, oh mama, I found that girl
Jermaine: Mama, blind 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
May chance to be a 100 years old
Now I understand
J5: I understand
Jermaine: What it is to be a man
J5:To be a man
Jermaine: The way you explained it to me that day,
You said only the right girl
Can make me feel this way
Well mama, I think I found that girl
J5: I found that girl
Jermaine: Yeah, yeah
Mama, I think I found that girl
J5: I found that girl
Jermaine: Oooh, mama, she's that beautiful dream
That I dream each night,
She's that hurdle of....
On those wings, of their flight
She's those words left,
When there's no more to say
She's my sunshine
At the end, of a perfect day
Jermaine: All this lets me find
J5: Let's me find
Jermaine: A reason to be alive
J5: To be alive
Jermaine: That day, when you set me upon your knee,
You said only the right girl can be all these things
Jermaine: Mama, I think I found that girl
J5: I found that girl
Jermaine: Mama, I think I found that girl
J5: I found that girl
Jermaine: You said son, go on and search around,
There's a good girl, who's out there, to be found
Jermaine: And Mama, I think I found that girl
J5: I found that girl
Jermaine: Yeah, yeah mama, I think I found that girl
J5: I found that girl
Jermaine: Whoa-ho-ho, whoa-ho-ho, um-hum, hum hum
Mama, I know, I know I found that girl
