[Verse 1]
She wrote "Dear Michael
You will probably never get this letter
Michael, I wrote you a hundred times before
Knowing how I feel
I will write a hundred more"

[Verse 2]
"Dear Michael, every time your record is on
(Michael Michael)
Michael, I close my eyes and sing along
Dreaming you are singing to me"

(Ouch)

[Verse 3]
And then, she wrote
(Ouch)
"Michael, I love you
I held the tears back as long as I can
(Ouch)
I am sealing my feelings in this envelope
(Ouch)
Because I want to be more than just your number one fan"

[Verse 4]
I am going to answer your letter
(Michael Michael)
I will start beginning with the ABC's of loving you
(I love you)
(She wrote)
(Michael Michael)
(I love you)
Your letter really touched my heart

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
