[Verse 1]
I was alone at dawn she woke me
She was asleep and tired
She came inside and whispered to me
The girl is what I had inside

[Chorus]
But she's a P.Y.T., a pretty young thing
The girl's a P.Y.T., she's a pretty young thing

[Verse 2]
I was upstairs she came and woke me
I was asleep and tired
She came inside my prima donna
The girl is my heavenly prize

[Chorus]
The girl's a P.Y.T., my pretty young thing (to me)
P.Y.T., a pretty young thing

[Bridge]
She is always there
Whenever I need her
Telling me the words thats right
Telling me things
I do about her
She is just the one, right!

[Chorus]
The girl's a P.Y.T., a pretty young thing
The girl's a P.Y.T., a pretty young thing
P.Y.T., a pretty young thing
The girl's a P.Y.T., a pretty young thing
Oooooh

The girl's a P.Y.T., she's my pretty young thing
The girl's a P.Y.T., a pretty young thing
(I love her so I'll never let her go)
(I'm loving you today)
(I'm loving you tomorrow)
(My girl, my girl, my girl)
(I know I love her so)
(To me yeah)
(And it's fine babe)

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.
