Jermaine Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And get on with my life, my life
Oh, but I don't regret no
Every precious moment that we spent
They were well spent
Oh girl, yes they were (yes they were)
Don't be sad, don't be blue
Love was here, now it's gone
So it's time you keep moving on
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come easy go
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Some good things come to an end
No blame, no shame
It was nice, but sometimes things do change
We change, but we can still be friends, be friends
Oh girl you have so much to offer to someone else in their life
If you reach out, oh girl yes you can, yes you can
Don't be sad, don't be blue
You have your whole life ahead of you (oh)
Love was here, now it's gone
So it's time you keep moving on
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come easy go
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Some good things come to an end
So long (you know)
It seems the time has come (so long my love)
To move on and go our separate ways
Since we're not going to be lovers anymore
Well, let's just be friends
Don't be sad, don't be blue
You have your whole life ahead of you (oh)
Love was here, now it's gone
So it's time you keep moving on (oh)
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Easy come easy go (easy come easy go baby)
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet (oh)
Some good things come to an end (baby)
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet (baby, baby, baby)
Easy come easy go (oh)
Don't take it personal
Take the bitter with the sweet
Some good things come to an end (baby)

For those who say that Michael Jackson was the only talent in the family this is proof right here,this song is so smooth and relaxing
Antonius Johnson
Only? What about Janet?
Terah Kirksey
@Antonius Johnson of course Janet who could forget her
Phyllis Lawson
β@Antonius Johnsoni never knew. This were Jermaine. I thouht this song, belong to Babyface.
Phyllis Lawson
They should have never placed him in competition with his brother MicheL. Wow. Joe. You had some talented children. I guess the music world could not see having, all those children on payroll, from one family. So alegily, Jeremaine was dropped!
Sheila Turner
Exactly Jermaine had that voice too.
Emanuel Pought
Jermaine Jackson is so underrated musically. Great Artist
Anthony Taylor
That's why he's in the rock and roll hall of fame and this was hit among others and was part of legendary family band there is nothing underrated about that and why does folks put the word underrated on YouTube so darn much
twohands
