Why You Wanna Trip On Me
Written and composed by Teddy Riley and 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
That aren't so sure
So tell me

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

We've got more problems
Than 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 for their back
And no shoes for their feet

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

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'

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'

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'

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

In the Closet
Written and composed by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley

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
Don't hide our love
Woman to man

She's just a lover
Who makes me high
It 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

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 a desire
You cannot waste it
Then, if you want it
Then, won't you taste 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)
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)

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

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

Just promise me
Whatever we say
Or do to each other
For now we'll make a vow
To just keep it
In the closet

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 it it's aching
You have to rub 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)
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)

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

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
Or do to each other
For now we take
A vow to just
Keep it in the closet

About you baby
That makes me want
To give it to you

About you baby
That makes me want
To give it to you

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

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

I swear there's something
About you baby
That makes me want
Just promise me
Whatever we say
Or whatever we do to
Each other
For now we'll make a vow
To just
Keep it in the closet

She Drives Me Wild
Written and Composed By Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley

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

She got the breaks
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 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 waisting over
And she knows
What she's got

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

Remember The Time
Written and composed by Teddy Riley, Michael Jackson, and 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 each other's eyes
We'd stare
(Tell me)

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 till 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

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

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

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 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

Remember the times
Ooh
Remember the times
Do you remember girl
Remember the times
On the phone you and me
Remember the times
Till dawn, two or three
What about us girl

Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you
Do you, do you
Remember the times
In the park, on the beach
Remember the times
You and me in Spain
Remember the times
What about, what about...

Remember the times
Ooh...in the park
Remember the times
After dark... do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Yeah yeah

Can't Let Her Get Away
Written and composed by Michael Jackson and 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 breakdown 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

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 everytime 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)

If I let her get away
Then the world will
Have to see
A fool who lives alone
And the fool who
Set you free

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

Can't let go
Can't let go

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

Can't let go
Can't let go

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

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

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

Can't let go
Can't let go

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

Heal The World
Written and composed by 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 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 of
Joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this 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...

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 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 its 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...

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

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

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
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

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

You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me

Black or White
Written and composed by 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 to 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 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 scared of nobody
Girl when the
Goin' gets mean

Protection
For gangs, clubs,
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
It's a turf war
On a global scene
I'd rather hear bother sides
Of the tale
See, it's not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where you 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
Kicking dirt in my eye

But, 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 baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

I said if
You're thinkin' of
Being my baby
It don't matter if you're
Black or white

Ooh, ooh
Yea, 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

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

Who Is It
Written and composed by Michael Jackson

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

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 someone else?

(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 anymore

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 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

(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 it 'cause I'm lonely

And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortunes
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 someone else?

And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortunes
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

No fortunes
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 someone else?

And it doesn't seem to matter

Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure

Give In To Me
Written and composed by Michael Jackson and 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
Thing 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

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 in to me woman
Talk to me lady
'Cause I'm on fire

Will You Be There
Written and composed by Michael Jackson

(Angel's Intro)
(Piano's Intro)

Hold me
Like the River Jordan
And I will 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 lost will you find me?

But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight till 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 you head lowly)
(Softly then boldly)
(Carry me there)

(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)
(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 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
Another tomorrow
I'll never let you part
For you're always in my heart.

Keep The Faith
Written and composed by Glen Ballard, Siedah Garrett, and Michael Jackson

If you call out loud
Will it get inside
Through the heart of your surrender
To your alibis
And you can say the words
Like you understand
But, the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance

'Cause you can
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest see, hee
All you need is the will to want it
And uhh, little self-esteem

So keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round
You gotta know when
It's good to go
To get your dreams
Up off the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
Believe in yourself
No matter what it's gon' take
You can be a winner
But you got to keep the faith
...Gon' keep it brother
You got it

And when you think of trust
Does it lead you home
To a place that you
Only dream of
When you're all alone
And you can go by fell
'Stead of circumstance
But the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance

I know that you can
Sail across the water
Float across the sky, high
Any road that you take
Will get you there
If you only try

So keep the faith, ow
Don't let nobody
Take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes
On the prize
And your feet
Flat on the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out

I told my brother how to
Do the thing right
Lift up your head and show
The world you got pride
Go for what you want
Didn't let 'em get in your way
You can be better
But you gotta keep the faith
You got it

I know that keepin' the faith
Means never givin' up on love
But the power that love has
To make it right

Makes it
Makes it right

Keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round brother
You got to know
When it's good to go
To get your dreams up
Off the ground
Keep the faith
Baby, yea
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out

Better stand up and act like
You wanna do right
Don't play the fool
For the rest of your life
Work on it brother
And you'll make it someday
Go for what you want
And don't forget the faith

Look at yourself
And what you doin' right now
Stand back a minute
Just check yourself out
Straighten out your life
And how you're livin' each day
Get yourself together
'Cause you got to keep the faith
Uh, uh, uh

Don't let nobody take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And your feet flat on the ground
Keep the faith baby, yea
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out

Lift up your mind
Before your mind gets blown
Some things in life
You best leave them alone
Go for what you want
Don't let it get in your way
You can make it happen
But ya got ta keep the faith

Gon' keep it brother
You got to keep the faith
Yeah keep the faith
Gon' sister
You got to keep the faith
Now, now

I'll show my brotha
How to do the hing right
Lift up your head
And show the world you got pride
Go for what you want
Don't let 'em get in your way
You can be a winner
If you keep the faith

Straighten out yourself
And get your mind on track
Dust off your butt
And get your self-respect back
You've known me long enough
To know that I don't play
Take it like you want it
But you got to keep the faith
Gon'

Don't let nobody
Take you down
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And get your feet
Back on the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
But till that day
I said you've got to
Keep the faith

Gone Too Soon
Music by Larry Grossman
Lyrics by Buz Kohan ("Buzzie Wuzzie")

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 sparkling
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
Written and composed by Michael Jackson, Bill Bottrell, and Teddy Riley

The way she came into the place
I knew right then and there
There was a 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

She's so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you're 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 was 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

She's so 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 love
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

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

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you're no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you're no damn good for me

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
