Michael Jackson
I gave her money
I gave her time
I gave her everything
Inside one heart could find
I gave her passion
My very soul
I gave her promises
And secrets so untold
And she promised me forever
And a day we'd live as one
We made our vows
We'd live a life anew
And she promised me in secret
That she'd love me for all the time
It's a promise so untrue
Tell me what will I do?
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm lying to myself
And the reason why she left me
Did she find someone else?
Is it a friend of mine
(Who is it?)
Is it my brother?
(Who is it?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it?)
I can't take this stuff no more
I am the damned
I am the dead
I am the agony inside
The dying head
This is injustice
Woe unto thee
I pray this punishment
Would have mercy on me
And she promised me forever
That we'd live our life as one
We made our vows
We'd live a love so true
It seems that she has left me
For such reasons unexplained
I need to find the truth
But see what will I do?
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm bothered everyday
And she didn't leave a letter
She just up and ran away
It is a friend of mine
(Who is it?)
Is it my brother?
(Who is it?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it?)
I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely
It is a friend of mine
(Who is it?)
To me I'm bothered
(Who is it?)
Somebody hurt my soul
(Who is it?)
I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
Cause I'm lying to myself
And the reason why she left me
Did she find someone else?
And it doesn't seem to matter
And it doesn't seem right
'Cause the will has brought
No fortune
Still I cry alone at night
Don't you judge of my composure
'Cause I'm bothered everyday
And she didn't leave a letter
She just up and ran away

Who is it?

I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely

Don’t try to make me
Don’t try (…) I can’t quit.
I never was
We never were.
It just won’t stop.
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me.

Who is it?

(….)
Don’t bother me.
(….)
Did you really see I’m lonely?
(Da, da, da, da)
Don’t be,
Don’t be,
Don’t be judging.
Don’t you,
Don’t you,
Can’t take it cause I’m lonely.
Don’t bother me.
Just won’t quit it.
(….)

Don’t be judging.
Don’t be
Don’t be
Can’t you really feel I’m lonely?

(….)

She don’t bother
She don’t bother
She don’t want it
She don’t want it
She don’t want it
She don’t want it
She don’t need it.

Hi

Please skip to the final ad libs, from 03:35 on, since the rest it's on internet and it matches. The most complete version I found differs in a few some lines and lacks some. :(

I copied the lyrics from the internet and intended to edit it to match the video but my internet is giving trouble. I promise I will return and edit it later :)

I just realised this is and edited version of the song. The ending of this video corresponds to the voice over which is very difficult to understand.

Did you look at the original video? The lyrics corresponds to the original video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfrV_6yWbEg

I'm very sorry for marking this as complete. I tried to undo it but I can't. Maybe you can delete this one and add a new request.

Don't try to make me.
Don't try to do it.
I can't quit it.
I never was.
We never were.
It just won't stop
Don't bother me.
Don't bother me.
who is it.
is it a friend of mine.
To me I'm bothered
Who is it?
Somebody hurt my soul
Who is it?
I can't take it cause i'm lonely
body
don't bother me

{I can't understand this}

Did you really see i'm lonely?
Don't be don't be judging don't you don't you
I can't take it cause I'm lonely
Don't bother me... Just won't quite it
Don't be judging don't be don't be
Can't you really feel i'm lonely

She don't bother she don't bother
She don't want it she don't want it
She don't want it she don't want it
She don't need it

Thanks!

"I just realised this is and edited version of the song "
Didn't know that. (Edit: yes, the intro is skipped here, it goes straight to vocals.)

"The ending of this video corresponds to the voice over which is very difficult to understand."
Thought it'd be easier to get the lyrics from an acapella version, since the voice is pretty isolated, except for three or four lines at the end where is kinda muted.

"Did you look at the original video? The lyrics corresponds to the original video. "
I just double checked and they're almost identical vocally wise. The difference I found is that at the end of the isolated version a very few ad libs are hard to listen to.

My transcript is 99% similar to the previous one. They also transcribed 03:37 to 04:00.
The bits in brackets (....) aren't words or sentences, they're Jackson either mumbling incomprehensibly, slurring random words or just odd vocal noises he's making.
