[Intro]
Oooh
Huh!
Oh!
Get back on me
Ho!

[Verse 1]
You know I work too hard for this kinda play (Ho!)
I wrote a letter, for the ghetto of the CIA (Ho!)
I don't care a jack all about what cha' do (Ho!)
Just put your dime on the line, baby, 'cause I own you (Ho!)

[Chorus]
Somebody said, give up instead on how you feel (Ah-uh)
One blow to the head is all you need
I ain't takin' it ya
(Cheater) Oooooh!
Do it!, What! (Ya Got)
Do it!, What!
Get back on me…

[Verse 2]
Now you better go and get yourself some attitude (Ho!)
I know your name and the game is “I own you” (Ho!)
You're telling me that you're coming to a compromise (Ho!)
You're smiling at me while, you're stealing right before my eyes (Doggone it; Ho!)

[Chorus]
Somebody said, give up instead on how you feel (Ah-uh)
One blow to the head is all you need
I ain't takin' it ya
(Cheater) Oooooh!
Do it!, What! (Doggone it)
Do it!, What! (What!)
Get back on me…
I can't, huh!
Jack, oh-oh

[Bridge]
I hurt my backbone, baby
I start to give it up
Life is an aggravator
Sometimes I part it up
I broke my radiator
I am indestructible
I pray to leave my body
Do not you ever call

[Verse 3]
I don't care a jack all about what you do (Ho!)
Just sign your name on the line, baby, I own you (Doggone it)
(Ho!)
(You are a…)

[Chorus]
(Cheater) Ooooh!
Give it to me, what!
What!, get jack on me…
Somebody said, give up instead on how you feel (Ah-uh)
One blow to the head is all you need
I ain't takin' it ya
Cheater

(Doggone it)
(Jack) (Give it to me)
Cheating, baby (Doggone)

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) Cheating, baby
(Oh-oh) Cheating, baby
Oh-oh
Cheating, baby
You are a cheater (Hee-hoo!)

(Hoo-hoo!)
(Hoo-hoo!)
(Hoo-hoo!)
(Hoo-hoo!)
(Hoo-hoo!)
(Hoo-hoo!)
(Hoo-hoo!)

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.
