She’s
Out Of My Life
She’s
out of my life she’s out of my life
And
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
I
don’t know whether to live or die
And
it cuts like a knifes she’s out of my life
It’s
out of my hands it’s out of my hands
To
think for two years she was here
And
I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now
the way that it stands she’s out of my hands
(Bridge)
So
I’ve learned that love’s not possession
And
I’ve learned that love won’t wait
Now
I’ve learned that love needs expression
But
I learned too late
She’s
out of my life she’s out of my life
Damned
indecision and cursed pride
Kept
my love for her locked deep inside
And
it cuts like a knife she’s out of my life
Girlfriend

The
Girl Is Mine
Every
night she walks right in my dreams
Since
I met her from the start
I’m
so proud I am the only one who is
Special
in her heart
(Chorus)
The
girl is mine the doggone girl is mine
I
know she’s mine because the doggone girl is mine
I
don’t understand the way you think
Saying
that she’s yours not mine
Sending
roses and your silly dreams
Really
just a waste of time
(Chorus)
Because
she’s mine the doggone girl is mine
Don’t
waste your time because the doggone girl is mine
(Bridge)
I
love you more than he (take you anywhere)
But
I love you endlessly (loving we will share)
So
some and go with me to one town
But
we both cannot have her so it’s one or the other
And
one day you’ll discover that she’s my girl forever and ever
I
don’t build your hopes to be let down
‘cause
I really feel it’s time
I
know she’ll tell you I’m the one for her
Cause
she said I blow her mind
(Chorus)
The
girl is mine the doggone girl is mine
Don’t
waste your time because the doggone girl is mine
She’s
mine, she’s mine no, no, no, she’s mine
The
girl is mine, the girl is mine the girl is mine, the girls is mine
The
girl is mine, (yep) she’s mine the girls is mine, yep she’s mine
Don’t
waste your time because the doggone girl is mine
The
girl is mine, the girl is mine
Michael,
we’re not going to fight about this, okay
Paul,
I think I told you, I’m a lover not a fighter
I’ve
heard it all before, Michael
She
told me that I’m her forever lover, you know
Don’t
you remember
Well,
after loving me, she said she couldn’t love another
Is
that what she said yes, she said it, you keep dreaming
I
don’t believe it the girl is mine (mine, mine, mine)
Billie
Jean
She
was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I
said don’t mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who
will dance on the floor in the round
She
said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
She
told me her name was billie jean , as she caused a scene
Then
every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who
will dance on the floor in the round
(Bridge)
People
always told me be careful of what you do
And
don’t go around breaking young girls hearts
And
mother always told me be careful of who you love
And
be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth
(Chorus)
Billie
jean is not my lover she’s just a girl who
Claims
that I am the one
But
the kid is not my son she says I am the one,
but
the kid is not my son
for
forty days and forty night the law was on her side
but
who can stand when she’s in demand her schemes and plans
cause
we dance on the floor in the round
so
take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(do
think twice)
She
told my baby, we where dancing still 3:00
Then
she looked at me, she show me a photo
My
baby cried, cause his eyes where like mine
(Bridge)
People
always told me be careful of what you do
And
don’t go around breaking young girls hearts
She
came and stood right by me then the smell of sweet perfume
This
happened much too soon she called me to her room
(Chorus)
Billie
jean is not my lover she’s just a girl who
Claims
that I am the one
But
the kid is not my son billie jean is not my lover
She’s
just a girl who claims that I am the one
but
the kid is not my son
she
says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
billie
jean is not my lover
she’s
just a girl who claims that I am the one
but
the kid is not my son
she
says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
she
says I am the one, she says he is my son
she
says I am the one Billie jean is not my lover

Looking
out across the night-time
The
city winks a sleepless eye hear her voice
Shake

Get

Won’t

If
this town is just an apple then let me take a bite
(Chorus)
If
they say why, why, tell ‘em that is human nature
Why,
why, does he do me that way if they
Say,
why, why, tell ‘em that is human nature
Why,

Reaching
out to touch a stranger
Electric
eyes are everywhere see that girl
She
knows I’m watching she likes the way I stare
(Chorus)
If
they say, why, why, tell ‘em that
Is
human nature why, why, does he do me that why
If
they say why, why, tell ‘em that
Is

Looking
out across the morning
The

I
touch her shoulder I’m dreaming of the street

Thriller
Its
close to midnight and something evils
Lurking
in the dark
Under
the moonlight you see a sight that almost
Stops
your heart
You
try to scream but terror takes the sound
Before
you make it
You
start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You’re
paralyzed
(Chorus)
Cause
this is thriller, thriller night
And
no ones gonna save you from the beast about strike
You
know its thriller, thriller night
you are fighting for your life inside a
killer, thriller tonight
you
hear the door slam and realize there’s
nowhere
left to run
you
feel the cold hand and wonder if you’ll ever
see
the sun
you
close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
but
all the while you hear the creature creepin up behind
you
are out of time
(Back
to chorus)
(Bridge)
Night
creatures call and the dead start to walk
In
their masquerade
There’s
no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they’re open wide)
This
is the end of your life
They’re
out to get you, there’s demons closing in on every side
They
will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now
is the time for you and I to cuddle close together
All
thru the night I’ll save you from the terror on the screen
I’ll
make you see
(Chorus)
That
this is thriller, thriller night
Cause
I can thrill you more than any ghost
Would
dare to try
Girl,
this is thriller, thriller night
So
let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller
Thriller
here tonight
Darkness
falls across the land the midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures
crawl in search of blood to terrorize yawls neighborhood
And
whosoever shall be found without the soul for getting down
Must
stand and face the hounds of hell and rot inside a corpses shell
The
foulest stench is in the air the funk of forty thousand years
And
grizzy ghouls from every tomb are closing in to seal your doom
And
though you fight to stay alive your body starts to shiver
For
no mere mortal can resist the evil of the thriller
Album of Bad (1987)

Man
in The Mirror
I’m
gonna make a change, for once in my life
It’s
gonna feel real good
Gonna
make a difference gonna make it right
As
I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This
wind is blowin’ my mind I see the kids in the street
With
not enough to eat who am I, to be blind?
Pretending
not to see their needs a summer’s disregard
A
broken bottle top and a one man’s soul they follow each other on
The
wind ya Know cause they got nowhere to go
That’s
why I want you to know
(Chorus)
I’m
starting with the man in the mirror I’m asking him to change
His
ways and no message could have been any clearer
If
you wanna make the world a better place
(if
you wanna make the world a better place)
Take
a look at youself, and then make a change
(Take
a look at youself, and then make a change)
Na
na na na na na na na na na
I’ve
been a victim of a selfish kind of love it’s time that I realize
That
there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
Could
it be really me, pretending that they’re not alone?
A
willow deeply scarred, somebody’s broken heart
And
a washed-out dream (washed out dream)
They
follow the pattern of the wind, ya’ see cause they got no place
To
be that’s why I’m starting with me (starting with me)
(Back
to Chorus)
I’m
starting with the man in the mirror, (man in the mirror) oh..yeah!
I’m
asking him to change his ways (better change!)
No
message could have been any cleares (if you wanna make the world a better
place)
(take
a look at yourself and then make the change)
(you
gotta get it right, while you got the time)
(cause
when you close your heart) you can’t close your… your mind!
(then
you close your… mind!!)
That
man, that man, that man, that man with
That
man in the mirror
(Man
in the mirror, oh yeah!) that man, that man, that man
I’m
asking him to change his ways (better change!)
You
know…. That man no message could have been any clearer
If
you wanna make the world a better place
(if you wanna make the world a better place)
Take
a look at yourself and then make a change
(Take
a look at yourself and then make a change)
Hoo!
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Na! na! Na! Na Na Na!
Gonna
feel real good now! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Na! na! na!

Today!

Got
to not let yourself

So

So

But
I was too blind to see that you seduce every man
This
time you won’t seduce me
She’s
saying that’s ok hey baby do want you please
I
have the stuff that you want I am the thing that you need
She
looked me deep in the eyes she’s touchin’ me so to start
She
says there’s no turnin’ back she trapped me in her heart
Dirty
Diana, nah dirty Diana, nah dirty Diana, no dirty Diana
Let
me be! Oh no… oh no..oh no..
She
likes the boys in the band she knows when they come to town
Every
musician’s fan after the curtain comes down
She
waits at backstage doors for those who have prestige
Who
promise fortune and fame, a life that’s so carefree
She’s
saying that’s ok hey baby do what you want
I’ll
be your night lovin’ thing I’ll be the freak you can taunt
And
I don’t care what you
Say

Me
I said my baby’s at home she’s probably
Worried
tonight
I
didn’t call on the phone to say that I’m al right
Diana
walked up to me, she said I’m all yours tonight
At

I

She
said he’s not coming back because he’s sleeping with me
Dirty
Diana, nah
Dirty

Heal
the World
There’s
a place in your heart and I know that it is love
And
this place could be much brighter than tomorrow
And
if you really try you’ll find there’s no need
To
cry in this place you’ll feel there’s no hurt or sorrow
There
are ways to get there if you care enough
For
the living make a little space make a better place…
Heal
the world make it a better place for you and for me
And
the entire human race there are people dying
If
you care enough for the living make a better place for you and for me
If
you want to know why there’s a love that cannot lie
Love
is strong it only cares for joyful giving if we try
We
shall see in this bliss we cannot feel
Fear
or dead we stop existing and start living
Then
it feels that always love’s enough for us growing
So
make a better world make a better world…
Heal
the world make it a better place for you and for me
And
the entire human race there are people dying
If
you care enough for the living make a better place for you and for me
And

And
the world we once believed in will shine
Again
in grace then why do we keep
Strangling

Crucify

This
world is heavenly be god’s glow
We
could fly so high let our spirits never die
In
my heart I feel you are all my brother create a world with
No
fear together we’ll cry happy tears see the nations turn
Their
swords into plowshare we could really get there
If
you cared enough for the living make a little space
To
make a better place…
There
are people dying if you care enough
For
the living make a better place for you and for me
There
are people dying if you care enough
For
the living make a better place for you and for me
For
you and for me for you and for me

Stranger

was wandering in the rain mask of life, feelin’ insane
Swift
and sudden fall from grace sunny days seem far away
Kremlin’s
shadow belittlin’ me stalin’s tomb won’t le me be
On
and on and on it came wish the train would just let me
How
does it feel (how does it feel) how does it feel
How
does it feel when you’re alone and you’re cold inside
Here
abandoned in my fame Armageddon of the brain
KGB
was doggin’ me take my name and just let me be
Then
a begger boy called my name Happy days will drown the pain
On
and on and on it came and again, and again, and again
Take
my name and just let me be
How
does it feel (how does it feel) how does it feel how does it feel
How
does it feel how does it feel (how does it feel now)
How
does it feel how does it feel when you’re alone
And
you’re cold inside
Like

We’re
talkin’ danger we’re talkin’ danger, baby
Like
stranger in Moscow we’re talkin’ danger
We’re
talkin’ danger, baby like stranger in Moscow
I’m
live in lonely, I’m live in lonely, baby stranger in Moscow

Childhood
Have
you seen my childhood? I’m searching for the world that I come from
Cause
I’ve been looking around in the lost and found mf my heart…
No
one understands me they view it as such strange eccentricities…..
Cause
I keep kidding around like a child, but pardon me
People
say I’m not okay cause I love such elementary things…
It’s
been my fate to compensate, for the childhood
I’ve
never known…
Have
you seen my childhood? I’m searching for that
Wonder
in my youth
Like
pirated in adventurous dreams, of conquest and kings on the throne
Before
you judge me, try hard to love me, look
Within
your heart then ask,
Have
you seen my childhood? People say I’m strange that way
Cause
I love such elementary things, it’s been my fate to compensate
For
the childhood (childhood) I’ve never known…
Have
you seen my childhood? I’m searching for that wonder in my youth
Like
fantastical stories to share but the dreams I would dare, watch me fly…
Before
you judge me, try hard to love, the painful youth I’ve had
Have
you seen my childhood
(childhood) I’ve never known…
Have
you seen my childhood? I’m searching for that wonder in my youth
Like
fantastical stories to share but the dreams I would dare, watch me fly…
Before
you judge me, try hard to love, the painful youth I’ve had
Have
you seen my childhood
You
Are Not Alone
Another
day has gone I’m still all alone
How
could this be you’re not here with me
You
never said goodbye someone tell me why
Did
you have to go and leave my world so cold
Everyday
I sit and ask myself how did love slip away
Something
whispers in my ear and says that you are not alone
For
I am here with you though you’re far away
I’am
here to stay but you are not alone for I am here with you
Though
we’re far apart you’re always in my heart
But
you are not alone
Lone,
lone why, lone just the other night I thought I heard you cry
Asking
me to come and hold you in my arms
I
can hear your prayers your burdens I will bear
But
first I need your hand then forever can begin
Everyday
I sit and ask myself how did love slip away
Something
whispers in my ear and says that you are not alone
For
I am here with you though you’re far away
I’m
here to stay
For
you are not alone for I’m here with you
Though
we’re far apart you’re always in my heart
For
you are not alone
Whispers
three words and I’ll come runinn’ and girl
You
kow that I’ll be there
I’ll
be there you are not alone for I am here with you
Though
you’re far away I am here to stay for you are not alone
For
I am here with you though we’re far apart
You’re
always in my heart
For
you are not alone for I am here with you
Though
you’re far away I am here to stay
For
you are not alone for I am here with you
Though
we’re far apart. You’re always in my heart. For you are not alone......
