[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
It's out of my hands
It's...can I come down there?
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted, I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands, ooh
She's out of my hands

[Bridge: Michael Jackson]
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned That love don't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
And she's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my...life
Mhm
