[Chorus]
You better stop
You are dogging around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because if you do not stop
I am going to have to put you down

[Verse 1]
I cannot take it much longer
My heart is getting weak
It is not getting any stronger
You keep me so upset
My head is in a whirl
But if you want to be, yeah
Be my girl

[Chorus]
You better stop
You are dogging around
You know what I am talking about
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If you do not stop
I am going to have to put you down
Baby, yes I do, yes I do
Going to, going to put you down
You are dogging me
I am going to have to put you down Yeah

[Outro]
Yes you do, you are dogging me
You better stop
You are dogging me around

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.
