Black or White

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 thinking about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

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

And I told about equality
An it’s true, either you’re wrong or you’re right

But, if you’re thinking about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

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’t scare of nobody
Girl, when the going 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

[Michael]
Don’t tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

But, if you’re thinking about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

I said if you’re thinking of being my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

I said if you’re thinking of being my brother
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
It’s black , it’s white [6x]

Por Michael Jackson e Bill Bottrell (rap)

Human Nature

Looking out across the night-time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out into the night-time
Four walls won’t hold me tonight
If this town is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

If they say: Why, why?
Tell them that it’s human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say: Why, why?
Tell them that it’s human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

Reaching out to touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl, she knows I’m watching
She likes the way I stare

If they say: Why, why?
Tell them that it’s human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say: Why, why?
Tell them that it’s human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

I like living this way
I like loving this way

Looking out across the morning
Where the city’s heart begins to beat
Reaching out, I touch her shoulder
I’m dreaming of the street

If they say: Why, why?
Tell them that it’s human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say: Why, why?
Oh! Tell them…
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say: Why, why?
Cha, cha, cha
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say: Why, why?
Oh! Tell them…
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say: Why, why?
Oh! Tell them…
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say: Why, why?
Da, da, da
Why, why does he do me that way?

I like living this way

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

People always told me:
– Be careful what you do
– And don’t go around breaking young girl’s hearts

And mother always told me:
– Be careful of who you love
– Be careful of what you do
– Cause the lie becomes the truth

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 for forty nights
Law was on her side
But who can stand
When she’s in demand her schemes and plans

Cause we danced 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?d danced till three
And she looked at me

Then showed a photo
My baby cries
His eyes would like mine

But we danced on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me:
– Be careful of what you do
– And don’t go around breaking young girl’s hearts

But she came and stood right by me
Just the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
As she called me to her room

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 (2x)

She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son (2x)

Billie Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl
Who claims that I am the one
(No it just ain’t me baby)
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
(You know what you did)
She says he is my son
(Breaking my heart baby)
She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover (4x)
(Call me Billie Jean)
Billie Jean is not my lover
(She is not above a scene)
Billie Jean is not my lover

Give In To Me

She always takes it with a heart of stone
‘Cause all she does is throws it back to me
I’ve spend a lifetime looking for someone
Don’t try to understand me
Just simply do the things I say

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

Love is a feeling, quench my desire
Give it when I want it, takin’ me higher
Love is a woman, I don’t wanna hear it
Give in to me, give in to me

You and your friends were laughing at me in town
But it’s okay, and it’s okay
You wont be laughing girl when I’m not around
I’ll be okay, and I’ll, I’ll not find
Gotta, the 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 feeling
Give in to me, give in to me, give in to me

Oh! Love is the 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

I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna hear it, give it to the fire
Talk to me woman, quench my desire
I don’t like a lady, talk to me baby
Give in to me

Give in to the fire, give in to me
Give in to me, give in to me
Love is a woman

Give in to me, give in to me
Give in to me, give in to me
‘Cause I’m on fire, talk to me woman
Quench my desire, give in to the feelin’

Man In The Mirror

I’m gonna make a change
On 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 blowing my mind

I see the kids in the streets
With not enough to eat
Who am I to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs

A summer disregard
A broken bottle top
And a one man soul

They follow each other on the wind, ya’ know
‘Cause they got nowhere to go
That’s why I want you to know

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
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

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

They follow the pattern of the wind, ya’ see
‘Cause they got no place to be
That’s why I’m starting with me

I’m starting with the man in the mirror (Oh!)
I’m asking him to change his ways (Oh!)
And no message could have been any clearer:
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

I’m starting with the man in the mirror (Oh!)
I’m asking him to change his ways (Oh!)
And no message could have been any clearer:
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make that CHANGE!

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 clearer
(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 the 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
Take a look at yourself and then make the change

I’m gonna make a change
It’s gonna feel real good

Come on! (Change)
Just lift yourself, you know
You’ve got to stop it, yourself!
(Yeah! Make that change!)

I’ve got to make that change, today!
(Man in the mirror)
You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother
(Yeah! – Make that change!)

You know, I’ve got to get
That man, that man… (Man in the mirror)
You’ve got to, you’ve got to move!

Come on! Come on! You got to…
Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
(Yeah! – Make that change)
Stand up and lift yourself, now!
(Man in the mirror)

(Yeah! – Make that change!)
Gonna make that change.
Come on! (Man in the mirror)

You know it! You know it
You know it! You know it
(Change) Make that change
