[Verse 1]
All along I had to talk about it
But like a two-edged sword
It cuts you and it stabs me
All along I knew you were a phony girl
You sit behind the mask
And you control your world
You sit around and I watch your face
I try to find the truth
But that's your hiding place
You say you love me but it's hard to see
Cause' when he's in your arms
You're throwing rocks at me!

[Chorus 1]
Who do you love?
Is it me?
With you?
I don't know
Who do you love?
I don't want you
If you can't answer
You know me

[Chorus 2]
(There is nothing in your eyes)
There is nothing in your eyes
(But that's the way you cry)
But that's the way you cry girl, (Cry girl)
(All is grand, all is bright)
All is grand, all is bright
(You're just studying my mind)

[Verse 2]
I walk around, I’m suffering in my doom
When I come to you
You're sitting in your room
You sit around in the strangest place
So take off the mask, so I can see your face!

[Chorus 1]
Who do you love?
Is it me?
With You?
I don't know
Who do you love, babe?
I don't want you
If you can't answer
I know you

[Chorus 3]
(Heaven must be wary)
Heaven must be wary
(Your smile is scary)
You got me scared, girl
(Insincere, empty tears)
Every year, yours are good
(Where's your soul? Where'd it go?)
You got me scared, girl

(Heaven must be wary)
Heaven must be wary
(Your smile is scary)
You know where you've been
(Insincere, empty tears)
Every year, na na na
(Where's your soul? Where did it go?)

Is it me
Is it you
Behind this mask, I ask

[Verse 3]
I walk around I’m suffering in my doom
And when I come to you
You're sitting in your room
You sit around in the strangest place
So take off the mask
So I can see your face!

[Chorus 1]
Who do you love?
Is it me?
With you?
I don’t know
Who do you love, babe?
I don't want you
If you can't answer
I know you!

[Chorus 1]
Who do you love?
Is it me?
With you?
I don't know
Who do you love?
I don't want you
If you can't answer
I don't know

[Outro]
Is it me
Is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
Is it me
Is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
Is it me
Is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
I don't want to talk about it, (let's talk about it)
I don't want to talk about it, (let's talk about it)
I don't want to talk about it, (let's talk about it)

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.
