Corner Of The Sky
The Jackson 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

Automatic Systematic
Full of color self contained
Tuned and channeled to your vibes

Captivating Stimulating
She such a sexy lady
Built with space age design
Shes moving grooving dancing to the music stop now
Yeah

Rhythmic acrobatic
She a dynamite attraction
At the drop of a coin she comes alive now
She knows what shes doing
She super bad now
She's geared to really blow your mind

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Do it baby

Dancing, dancing, dancing
She´s a dancing machine
Ah babe
Move it baby

Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene
Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing
Right on the scene

Come on babe
Come on babe
Babe
Babe
Shake it baby
Shake it babe
Babe
Babe
Babe

Dance
Dance
Dance
Dance

I like it

I love you

Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down
As she do, do, do her thing Right on the scene




Shes a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancing machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down

What I like best about this song is you can clearly hear Michael, Marlon, Jermaine, Tito, and Jackie in their individual parts. They sound great solo, and as a group harmonizing.

Janis Dasilva

the words are so true and honest in the 70's and even now in 2022.The meaning is deep and real

I swear when Jermaine comes in...it’s remarkable, the depths of his voice is beautiful.

Lisa White

Jermaine is underrated

The musical "Pippin" was partially financed by Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records. So of course he gave one of the songs to one of his top acts. Great version.

MrMaxismybaby

Didn't know that about Berry Gordy.

Claudia Boneparte

Great history.....

Simmie Williams

These brothers were a real band. I saw them live as a kid, they played the instruments, sang and dancing with Military precision..no lip syncing. The real deal✊🏾

Charles Peterson
