Jam
- Michael Jackson

Nation to nation
All the world
Must get together
Face the problems
That we see
Then maybe somehow we can
Work it out
I asked my neighbor
For a favor
She said later
What has come of
All the people
Have we lost love
Of what it's about

I have to find my peace cuz
No one seems to let me be
False prophets cry of doom
What are the possibilities
I told my brother
There'll be problems,
Times and tears for fears,
But we must live each day
Like it's the last

Chorus:
Go with it
Go with it
Jam
It ain't too much stuff
It ain't too much
It ain't too much for me
Jam
It ain't too much stuff
It ain't
Don't you
It ain't too much for me

The world keeps changing
Rearranging minds
And thoughts
Predictions fly of doom
The baby boom
Has come of age
We'll work it out
I told my brother
Don't you ask me
For no favors
I'm conditioned
By the system
Don't you preach to me
Don't scream and shout

She pray to God, to Buddah
Then she sings a
Talmud song
Confusions contradict
The self
Do we know right
From wrong
I just want you to
Recognize me
I'm the temple
You can't hurt me
I found peace
Within myself

Chorus
Chorus

Jam jam
Here comes the man
Hot damn
This big boy stands
Movin' up a hand
Makin' funky tracks
With my man
Michael Jackson
Smooth Criminal
That's the man
Mike's so relaxed
Mingle mingle jingle
In the jungle
Bum rushed the door
3 and 4's in a bundle
Execute the plan
First I cooled like a fan
Got with Janet
Then with Guy
Now with Michael
Cause it ain't too hard to...

Why You Wanna Trip On Me
- Teddy Riley & Bernard Bell

They say I'm different
They don't understand
But there's a bigger problem
That's much more in demand
You got world hunger
Not enough to eat
So there's really no time
To be trippin' on me

You got school teachers
Who don't wanna teach
You got grown people
Who can't write or read
You got strange diseases
Ah but there's no cure
You got many doctors
Who aren't so sure
So tell me

Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Stop trippin'

We got more problems
Then we'll ever need
You got gang violence
And bloodshed on the street
You got homeless people
With no food to eat
With no clothes on their back
And no shoes for their feet

We got drug addiction
In the minds of the weak
We've got so much corruption
Police brutality
We got street walkers
Walkin' into darkness
Tell me
What are you doing
To try to stop this

Chorus:
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Why you wanna trip on me
Stop trippin'

Yeah stop trippin'
Everybody just stop trippin'

Chorus
Chorus

Ooh stop trippin'
Yeah stop trippin'
Everybody just stop trippin'

Stop trippin'

In The Closet
- Michael Jackson & Teddy Riley

Mystery Lady:
There's something
I have to say to you
If you promise you'll understand
I cannot contain myself
When in your presence
I'm so humble
Just touch me
Woman to man

She's just a lover
Who makes me high
It's worth the giving
It's worth the try
You cannot cleave it
Or put it in the furnace
You cannot wet it
You cannot burn it

Chorus 1:
She wants to give it
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
Dare me
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
She wants to give it
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
Yea
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)

It's just a feeling
You have to soothe it
You can't neglect it
You can't abuse it
It's just desire
You cannot waste it
Then, if you want it
Then, won't you taste it

Chorus 1

Mystery Lady:
One thing in life
You must understand
The truth of lust
Woman to man
So open the door
And you will see
There are no secrets
Make your move
Set me free

Chorus 2:
Because there's something
About you baby
That makes me want
To give it to you
I swear there's something
About you baby

Just promise me
Whatever we say
Whatever we do to each other
For now we take a vow to just
Keep it in the closet
(Repeat)

If you can get it
It's worth a try
I really want it
I can't deny
It's just desire
I really love it
'Cause if it's aching
You have to rub it
She wants to give it

Chorus 1

Mystery Lady:
Just open the door
And you will see
This passion burns
Inside of me
Don't say to me
You'll never tell
Touch me there
Make the move
Cast the spell

Chorus 2

Just promise me
Whatever we say
Or do to eachother
For now we take a vow to just
Keep it in the closet

Because there's something
About you baby
That makes me want
To give it you
(Repeat 7 times)

Just promise me
Whatever we say
Or whatever do to eachother
For now we'll make a vow to just
Keep it in the closet

Chorus 1
(Repeat to end)

She Drives Me Wild
- Michael Jackson & Teddy Riley

She got the look
She so fine
And you know damn well
The girl will be mine

She got the brakes
She the scene
And you know damn well
She gives it to me

Black jeans and
A turtleneck sweater
I know the girl
Is fakin' cause
I've seen her look better

She composition
She statistical fact
She got it ready
For the willing
Got it sweaty in the back

Come to the place
Shock tacy
And you know damn well
You know what I mean
Talk hot in the face
One and 3.
Like a pleasure trip
Like you've never seen
Satin lace
And a paisley cut top
The girl is wasting over
And she know
What she's got

She got position
She got just what it takes
She got a mojo
In her pocket
She got it ready
Just in case

Remember The Time
- Michael Jackson, Teddy Riley & Bernard Bell

Do you remember
When we fell in love
We were so young
And innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven
So why did it end?

Do you remember
Back in the fall
We'd be together
All day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands
In eachother's eyes
We'd stare
(Tell me)

Chorus:
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time

Do you remember
How we used to talk
(Ya know)
We'd stay on the phone
At night til dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said like
I love you so
I'll never let you go

Do you remember
Back in the Spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
They'll just go on and on
In the back of my mind

Chorus

Those sweet memories
Will always be dear to me
And girl no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby

Chorus
(Repeat - ad lib to end)

Can't Let Her Get Away
- Michael Jackson & Teddy Riley

I thought she had to have it
Since the first time she came
Who knows the situation
Mysteries remain
And now I wonder why
I break down when I cry
Is it something I said
Or is it just a lie
(Is it just a lie)

I try so hard to love you
Some things take
Time and shame
I think the whole world of you
Your thoughts of me remain
I'll play the fool for you
I'll change the rules for you
Just say it and I'll do
Just make this thing come true
(Make this dream come true)

If I let her get away
Though I'm begging on my knees
I'll be crying everyday
Knowing the girl
That got away

Chorus:
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away

I tried to mastermind it
By saying let it be
But every time I did it
The hurt came back at me
I told you that I need you
A thousand times and why
I played the fool for you
And still you said goodbye
(Still you said goodbye)

Chorus
(Repeat to end)

Heal The World
- Michael Jackson

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 hurt or sorrow

There are ways
To get there
If you care enough
For the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...

Chorus:
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 of joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In the bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
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...

Chorus

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify it's soul
Though it's plain to see
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 brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords
Into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...

Chorus
(Repeat)

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
(Repeat)

You and for me
You and for me
(Repeat to end)

Black Or White
- Michael Jackson (Rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell)

I took my baby
On a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we're one and the same

Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But
If you're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

They print my message
In the Saturday Sun
I had tell them
I ain't second to none

And I told about equality
And it's true
Either you're wrong
Or you're right
But
If you're thinkin'
About my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I ain't scared of your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain's scared of nobody
Girl when the goin' gets mean

Rap:
Protection
For gangs, clubs, and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war
On a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it's not about races
Just places, faces
Where your blood comes from
Is where your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to spend
My life being a color

Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you
Kickin' dirt in my eye
But
You're thinkin'about my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

I said
If you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
I said
If you're thinkin' of being my brother
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now

It's black, it's white
It's tough for them
To get by
It's black, it's white, whoo
(Repeat)

Who Is It
- Michael Jackson

I gave her money
I gave her everything
I gave her everything
Inside one heart could find
I gave her passion
My very soul
I gave her promises
And secrets so untold

And she promised me forever
And a day we'd live as one
We made our vows
We'd live a life anew
And she promised me in secret
That she'd love me for all time
It's a promise so untrue
Tell me what will I do?

Chorus 1:
(Who is it?)
It is a friend of mine
(Who is it?)
Is it my brother?
(Who is it?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it?)
I can't take this stuff no more

I am the damned
I am the dead
I am the agony inside
The dying head
This is injustice
Woe unto thee
I pray this punishment
Would have mercy on me

And she promised me forever
That we'd live our life as one
We made our vows
We'd live a love so true
It seems that she has left me
For such reasons unexplained
I need to find the truth
But see what will I do?

And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't judge of my composure
'Cause I'm bothered everyday
And she didn't leave a letter
She just up and ran away

Chorus 1
Chorus 1

Chorus 2:
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm lying to myself
And the reason why she left me
Did she find in someone else?

And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm bothered everyday
And she didn't leave a letter
She just up and ran away

Chorus 2
(Repeat to end)

Give In To Me
- Michael Jackson & Bill Bottrell

She always takes it with a heart of stone
'Cause all she does is
Throw it back to me
I've spent a lifetime
Looking for someone
Don't try to understand me
Just simply do the things I say

Chorus:
Love is a feeling
Give it when I want it
'Cause I'm on fire
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Talk to me woman
Give in to me
Give in to me

You always knew just how to make me cry
And never did I ask you
Questions why
It seems you get your kicks
From hurting me
Don't try to understand me
Because your words just
Aren't enough

Chorus

It's all right
But it's ok
But it's ok
You're always thinkin'
That you know it's a lie
But it's ok
And I'd
I'd never find
Better peace of mind
No

Don't try to tell me
Because your words
Just aren't enough
Love is a feeling
Quench my desire
Give it when I want it
Takin' me higher

Talk to me woman
Love is a
I don't want to hear it
Quench my desire
I'm on fire
Give it to me woman
I don't want to hear it
Tell it to the preacher

Love is a woman
Love is a feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me

Love is a feeling
I don't wanna hear it
Quench my desire
Takin' me higher
Tell it to the preacher
Satisfy the feeling
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give in to me
Give it to me woman
Talk to me lady
'Cause I'm on fire

Will You Be There
- Michael Jackson

Hold me
Like the river Jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend

Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?

When weary
Tell me will you hold me
When wrong, will you mold me
When lost will you find me?

But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight til the end
But I'm only human

Everyone's taking control of me
Seems that the world's
Got a role for me
I'm so confused
Will you show to me
You'll be there for me
And care enough to bear me

(Hold me)
(Lay your head lowly)
(Softly then boldly)

(Hold me)
(Love me and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)

(Carry)
(Carry me boldly)
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me there)

(Save me)
(Heal me and bathe me)
(Softly you say to me)
(I will be there)

(Lift me)
(Lift me up slowly)
(Carry me boldly)
(Show me you care)

(Hold me)
(Lay your head lowly)
(Softly then boldly)
(Carry me there)

(Need me)
(Love me and feed me)
(Kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)

In our darkest hour
In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tribulations
Through our doubts
And frustrations
In my violence
In my turbulence
Through my fear
And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of tomorrow
I'll never let you part
For you're always in my heart

Gone Too Soon
- Buz Kohan & Larry Grossman

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

Dangerous
- Michael Jackson, Bill Bottrell & Teddy Riley

The way she came into the place
I knew right then and there
There was something different
About this girl
The way she moved
Her hair, her face, her lines
Divinity in motion
As she stalked the room
I could feel the aura
Of her presence
Every head turned
Feeling passion and lust
The girl was persuasive
The girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous

I never knew but I was
Walking the line
Come go with me
I said I have no time
She said don't you pretend we didn't
Talk on the phone
My baby cried
And left me standing alone

Chorus:
She's so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But your no damn good for me

She came at me in sections
With the eyes of desire
I fell trapped into her
Web of sin
A touch, a kiss
A whisper of love
I was at the point
Of no return
Deep in the darkness of
Passion's insanity
I felt taken by lust's
Strange inhumanity
This girl was persuasive
This girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous

I never knew
But I wan living in vain
She called my house
And said you know my name
And don't you pretend
You never did me before
With tears in her eyes
My baby walked out the door

Chorus

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to God
'Cause I know how
Lust can blind
It's a passion in my soul
But you're no damn lover
Friend of mine
And then it happened
She touched me
For the lips of
A strange woman
Drop as a honeycomb
And her mouth was
Smoother than oil
But her inner spirit and words
Were as sharp as
A two-edged sword
But I loved it
'Cause it's dangerous
I cannot sleep alone tonight
My baby left me here tonight
I cannot cope 'til it's all right
You and your manipulation
You hurt my baby
Chorus
(Repeat - ad lib to end)
