Butterflies, inside

[Verse 1]
All you gotta do is walk away and pass me by
Don't acknowledge my smile, when I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all you gotta do is not answer my calls when I'm trying to get through
Keep me wondering why, when all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch you

[Chorus]
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
(you give me)
'Cause you give me butterflies, inside inside and I

[Verse 2]
All I gotta say is that I must be dreamin', can't be real
You're not here with me, still I can feel you near to me, yeah
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give you anything baby, just make my dreams come true
Oh baby you give me butterflies

[Chorus]
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (You give me)
Ah, 'cause you give me butterflies, inside inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
(you give me)
Ah, 'cause you give me butterflies, inside inside and I

[Bridge]
If you will take my hand, baby, I will show you
Guide you to the light, then
If you will be my love, baby, I will love you
Love you, 'til the end of time

[Chorus: Michael Jackson & Marsha Ambrosius]
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (Girl, you give me)
Ah, you give me butterflies, inside inside and I (I just wanna touch you)
I just wanna touch and kiss (I wanna, I wanna, be with you, girl)
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (Talk to me, baby) (Inside)
Ah, you give me butterflies, inside inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss (I wanna touch you)
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
(Butterflies)
Ah, you give me butterflies, inside inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
Ah, you give me butterflies, inside inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss (I wanna, I wanna, be with you, girl)
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (Wanna be with you) (You give me)
Ah, you give me butterflies, inside inside and I

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.
