[Intro]
Never try to talk about it
It's got to sound good to me inside
I have to think about it

[Verse 1]
I'm so undemanding
Cause they say love is blind
I've lived this life pretending
I can bear this hurt deep inside

The truth is that I'm longing
A love that's so divine
I've searched this whole world wishing
She'll be there time after time

[Chorus]
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love

[Verse 2]
I've lived my life the lonely
A soul that cries of shame
With handicapped emotions
Save me now from what still remains

I'll be your story hero
I'll serenade in rhyme
I'm just needing that someone
Save me now from the path I'm on

[Chorus]
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
Cause all I do is hand out a heart that needs your love
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out a heart that needs your love

[Bridge]
When you say we will dance 'til the light of day
It's just like the children running with joy
When we pray will you promise me you'll always stay
It's because I'm needing that someone

[Chorus]
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
Cause all I do is hand out a heart that needs your love
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out
Someone put your hand out
I'm begging for your love
All I do is hand out
Love

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.
