[Verse 1]
You're just preaching the Bible
And they still speaking ''you're a liar''
And you still deal with the fires
That they make get bigger
Dah dah dah dah dah dah

Dah dah dah dah dah dah, and you
Dah dah dah dah dah dah, dah dah
Dah dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah dah

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you wanna get me?
Dreams don't last forever, oh
Why you wanna fix me?
See, if the police don' take it
God forsake it
I can't take it

[Chorus]
Why you stab me in the back?

[Verse 2]
We're so gonna lose it
And she, knows that is the deal
She, I
Dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah

Dah dah dah dah, people
Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah dah dah, did I
Dah dah dah dah

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you wanna get me?
This dude won't last forever
Why you wanna hit me?
Oh, babe
If the police don't take it
God forsake it
I'll fall breaking

[Chorus]
Why you stab me in the back?

[Pre-Chorus]
Why you wanna fix me?
Things don't last forever, oh no
Why you wanna get me?
We should be together
Why you wanna hit me?
We should be together
Why you wanna get me?
See, if the police don't take it
God forsake it
I won't take it

[Chorus]
Why you stab me in the back?

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.
