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)
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)
too low to get under
(yeah,yeah)
you're stuck in the middle
(yeah,yeah)
and the pain is thunder
I took my baby to the doctor
with a fever but nothing 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 wanna be startin somethin
( chorus )
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 tounge became a razor
someone's always tryin
to start my baby cryin
treacherous,cunnin,declinin
you got my baby cryin
( chorus )
you're a vegetable ( x 2 )
still they hate you
you're a vegetable
you're just a buffet
you're a vegetable
they eat off you
you're a vegetable
BillieJean is always talkin
when nobody else is talkin
tellin lies and rubbin shoulders
so they called her mouth a motor
someone's always tryin
to start my baby cryin
talkin, squealin, spyin
sayin you just wanna be startin somethin
( chorus 2 )
(adlib)-- 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
(chorus 1 )
adlib---lift your head up high
and scream out to the world
I know I am someone
and let the truth unfurl
noone can hurt you now
because you know what's true
yes I believe in me
so you believe in you
help me sing it
