Show You the Way to Go Lyrics
Let me show you
Let me show you the way to go
I don't know everything
But there's something I do know
(I know, I know)
I've read and heard a lot
And now I'm ready to show
That we can come together
And think like one
Come together now
Live together underneath the sun
Please, please let me show you
Let me show you
Let me show you the way to go
Follow me, my friend
Let me show you, come on
Let me show you the way to go
Just put your trust in me
I'll try not to let you down
(Let you down, let you down)
The job is hard to do
But only we can wear the crown
'Cause we can help each other to overcome
We can do it
We can do it now
Rejoice everybody
And get the job done
Please, please, please
Just let me show you
Let me show you
Let me show you the way to go
Follow me my friend, hey, hey
Let me show you
Let me show you the way to go
Please follow me, now
That we can help each other to overcome
We can do it
We can do it, now
Live together underneath the sun
Please, please, please
Just let me show you
Let me show you
Let me show you the way to go
I swear I'll never let you down
(Let me show you)
Come on
(Let me show you the way to go)
We can do it, we can do it
We can do it, now
(Let me show you)
(Let me show you the way to go)
Let me, let me, let me
Just let me, let me show you, now
(Let me show you)
Come on
(Let me show you the way to go)
(Follow me, follow me)
(Let me show you)
(Let me show you the way to go)
I swear
I'll never let you down
Come on
Come on
Let me, let me, let me show you
Let me, let me, let me, let me show you
Let me show you
Never let you down
Never let you down
Put your hand in mine
We can do it, we can do it
We can work it out
And get on top
Let me show you
Let me show you
Let me show you
Let me, let me, let me
Let me, let me, let me show you
Let me show you the way to go
But there's something I do know

What I love about this song is that it showcases Michael Jackson's voice at its most pleasing--a young man's voice, not a child's, smooth but with an appealing little quaver here and there. If only Michael had stuck with his natural voice (which probably would have deepened a bit with age but remained melodic and flexible) instead of trying to keep it artificially high.
I also like the slick production that makes the vocals and background ride down like French silk. The whole thing just makes a very enjoyable package.
I've tried to change one lyric without success yet. At the end of the verse which starts, 'Just put your trust in me', he later says, not 'but only we can work this out' - he actually says, 'but only we can wear the crown' which is what is sounds like and rhymes with the earlier word 'down'. Plus in at least two videos I have seen, he taps his head upon saying the word 'crown'.
