MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE: words-

Lovely is the feelin’ now. Fever, temperatures risin’ now.

Power is the force, the vow that makes it happen, and there’s no questions why. Ooo - “Keep on with the force, don’t stop. Don’t stop ‘til you get enough.” (repeat 3X)

The word is out, you’re doin’ wrong. Gonna’ lock you up before too long.

Your lyin’ eyes gonna tell you right. So listen up, don’t make a fight.

Your talk is cheap, you’re not a man.

You’re throwin’ stones to hide your hands. But they say the sky’s the limit and to me that’s really true. And my friends, you have seen nothin’. Just wait ‘til I get through, Because I’m bad, I’m bad, come on. You know I’m bad, I’m bad, you know it. You know I’m bad, I’m bad, you know it. You know.

And the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again.

You know I’m bad, I’m bad, come on. You know I’m bad, I’m bad, you know it.

You know I’m bad, I’m bad, you know it. You know. And the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again. (spoken) ”who’s Bad!”

I like the feelin’ you’re givin’ me. Just hold me, baby, and I’m in ecstasy.

Oh, I’ll be workin’ from nine to five to buy you things to keep you by my side.

I never felt so in love before. Just promise, baby, you’ll love me forever more.

I swear I’m keepin’ you satisfied, ‘cause you’re the one for me. The way you make me feel, the way you make me feel. You really turn me on, you really turn me on. You knock me off my feet, you knock me off my feet.

My lonely days are gone, my lonely days are gone!

They told him, “don’t you ever come around here. Don’t wanna’ see your face; better disappear.” The fire’s in their eyes and their words are really clear.

So beat it. Just beat it. You better run,you better do what you can.

Don’t wanna’ see no blood. Don’t be a macho man.

You wanna be tough, better do what you can. So beat it. But you wanna be bad.

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it. No one wants to be defeated.

Showin’ how funky strong is your fight. It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right.

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it. No one wants to be defeated.

Showin’ how funky strong is your fight. It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right.

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it. Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it.

I said you wanna be start somethin’, you gotta be startin’ something,

I said you wanna be startin somethin’, you gotta be startin’ somethin’.

It’s too high to get over(yeah, yeah) , too low to get under (yeah, yeah).

You’re stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah), and the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah).

I said you wanna be start somethin’, you gotta be startin’ something,

I said you wanna be startin somethin’, you gotta be startin’ somethin’.

It’s too high to get over(yeah, yeah) ,too low to get under (yeah, yeah).

You’re stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah), and the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah).

It’s too high to get over(yeah, yeah) , too low to get under (yeah, yeah).

You’re stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah), and the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah).

Lift your head up high and scream out to the world, “I know I am someone!” and let the truth unfurl. No one can hurt you now because you know what’s true.

Yes, I believe in me, so you believe in you. Help me sing: “ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.” (repeat the “ma-ma” phrase 11 more times)

I said you wanna be start somethin’, you gotta be startin’ something,

I said you wanna be startin somethin’, you gotta be startin’ somethin’! -END-


01 Man in the Mirror - with vocals.mp3










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 summers 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.

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, then make a change. Nah-na, na-na na, na na, na nah.

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. I’m asking him to change his ways.

And no message could have been any clearer: If you wanna have the world a better place, take a look at yourself, then make the change. 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 have the world a better place, take a look at yourself, then make that - change.

I’m starting with the man in the mirror. “O 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, then make that change. You gotta get it right while you got the time. cause when you close your heart then you close your, your mind!

That man, with that man in the mirror! Oh, that man.

I’m asking him to change his ways.You know, no message could have been any clearer. If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, then make a change. Nah-na, na-na na, na na, na nah.

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 gotta make that change today! Man in the mirror.

You got to, you got to not let yourself, brother. Yeah! You’ve gotta make that change!
