Torture

[Verse 1: Jermaine Jackson]

It was on a street so evil

So bad that even Hell disowned it

Every single step was trouble

For the fool who stumbled on it

Eyes within the dark were watching

I felt the sudden chill of danger

Something told me, "Keep on walkin'"

Told me I should not have come there

[Chorus: The Jacksons]

Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife

Without your love in my life

Alone, I walk in the night

'Cause I just can't stop this feelin'

It's torture

It's torture

It's torture

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]

She was up a stair to nowhere

A room forever I'll remember

She stared as though

I should have known her

Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure?

Every little thing you find here is simply

For the thrill you're after

Loneliness or hearts of fire

I am here to serve all masters

[Chorus: The Jacksons]

She said reality is a knife

When there's no love in your life

And merciful is the night

When you just can't stop this feelin'

It's torture

It's torture

It's torture

[Bridge: Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson & Both]

And I still can't find the meaning, no

(No, no)

Of the face I keep on seeing

Was she real, or am I dreaming?

Did the sound of your name turn a wheel

Start the flame in me?

(Hoo, hoo!)

[Guitar Solo]

(Hee, hee!)

[Chorus: The Jacksons]

Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife

Without your love in my life

Alone, I walk in the night

'Cause I just can't stop this feelin'

It's torture, it's torture, it's torture

[Outro: Jackie Jackson and The Jacksons]

When you call my name

(It's torture)

It's heading 'round the flame

(It's torture)

When you call my name

(It's torture)

Hey

(It's torture, it's torture, it's torture)

When you call my name

(It's torture)

Yeah, we would have planned

(It's torture)

We gonna need

(It's torture)

Hey
