Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' - Live from Manila 1996

[Michael Jackson]

How you doin'

I love you

I love you

Hoo

Hoo

Hoo-hee

Aaow!

Ooh

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

I took my baby to the doctor

With a fever, but nothin' he found

By the time this hit the street

They said she had a breakdown

Someone's always tryin'

To start my baby cryin'

Talkin', squealin', lyin'

Sayin' you just want to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

You love to pretend that you're good

When you're always up to no good

You really can't make him hate her

So your tongue became a razor

Someone's always tryin'

To keep my baby cryin'

Treacherous, cunnin', declinin'

You got my baby cryin' (Hee)

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

Still, they hate you (Still, they hate you)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

You're just a buffet (You're just a buffet; you're a vegetable)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

They eat off of you (They eat off of you; you're a vegetable)

You're a vegetable, ow

(Yee-haw)

[Song stops]

If you can't feed your baby (Yeah, yeah)

Then don't have a baby (Yeah, yeah)

And don't think maybe (Yeah, yeah)

If you can't feed your baby (Yeah, yeah)

You'll be always tryin'

To stop that child from cryin'

Hustlin', stealin', lyin'

Now, baby's slowly dyin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)

Lift your head up high

And scream out to the world

"I know I am someone"

And let the truth unfurl (Hee-ha)

No one can hurt you now

Because you know what's true

Yes, I believe in me

So you believe in you (Help me sing it)
