Sitting in my class, just drifting away Staring into the windows of the world I can't hear the teacher, his books don't call me at all I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play... 'cause I love your smile I love your smile The clock at work says three And I wanna be free Free to scream, free to bathe, free to paint My toes all day My boss is lame you know, and so is the pay I'm gonna put that new black mini on my charge anyway 'cause I love your smile I love your smile Time came and showed me your direction Now I know I'll never ever go back Taught me that I can be a better girl with love you give You rock my world You dig I'm showin' The life that I'm livin' This is the life that I have And it's given to you Yeh'and it's true La-d-da Twinkley do you Believe in a girl like me 'Cause I am the one for you to be with But when I'm caught All alone I start fessin' It's from a state of depression And the thunder clouds of doubt move in I begin to wonder "Do you still love me?" But after that My whole world is beautiful

C'mon and hold me Just like you told me Then show me What I want to know Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Into the night I know it ain't right Tease me, why don't you please me Then show me What you came here for Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Into the night I know it ain't right Into the night babe Make it tonight ooohh I caught you glancing my way And I know what you're after (no second chances tonight) Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Why…

You got a smile so bright You know you could've been a candle I'm holding you so tight You know you could've been a handle The way you swept me off my feet You know you could've been a broom And baby you smell so sweet You know you could've been some perfume Well you could've been anything that you wanted to I can tell The way you do the things you do I like the way you do the things you do As pretty as you are You know you could've been a flower If good looks were minutes You know you could have been an hour The way you stole my heart You know you could have been a crook And baby you're so smart You know you could have been a school book Well you could've been anything that you wanted to I can tell The way you do the things you do I like the way you do the things you do You make my life so rich You know you could've been some money And baby you're so sweet You know you could have been some honey Well you could've been anything that you wanted to I can tell The way you do the things you do I like the way you do the things you do

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who will dance on the floor in the round People always told me be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts And mother always told me be careful of who you love And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son For forty days and forty nights The law was on her side But who can stand when she's in demand Her schemes and plans 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice (Don't think twice, don't think twice) She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no) 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby People always told me be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts She came and stood right by me Just the smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon She called me to her room Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son

If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me All the things that we've been through You should understand me like I understand you Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home Oh don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night Cause we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me) You will never never never know me (No you won't) If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me We've all got our own funny moods I've got mine, woman you've got yours too Just trust in me like I trust in you As long as we've been together it should be so easy to do Just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye What good is a love affair when you can't see eye to eye, oh If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me) You will never never never know me (No you won't) If you don't know me by now (You will never never never know me) You will never never never know me (ooh)

Can't keep my hands to myself Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf In case my little baby girl is in need Am I coming out of left field? Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now I been feeling it since 1966, now Might be over now, but I feel it still Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now Let me kick it like it's 1986, now Might be over now, but I feel it still Got another mouth to feed Leave her with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger Gone with the fallen leaves Am I coming out of left field? Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now I been feeling it since 1966, now Might've had your fill, but you feel it still Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now Let me kick it like it's 1986, now Might be over now, but I feel it still We could fight a war for peace (Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now) Give in to that easy living Goodbye to my hopes and dreams Stop flipping for my enemies We could wait until the walls come down (Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now) It's time to give a little to the Kids in the middle, but oh 'til it falls Won't bother me Is it coming? Is it coming? Is it coming? Is it coming? Is it coming? Is it coming back? Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now Might be over now, but I feel it still Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now I've been feeling it since 1966, now Might be over now, but I feel it still Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now Let me kick it like it's 1986, now Might be over now, but I feel it still Might've had your fill, but you feel it still

It was good for me It was good for you Now nothing either of us can say or do Can change the way you feel tonight Sometimes love just slips out of sight Just one thing before you go Just one thing that you've got to know No one will ever touch me that way The way that you did that very first day And I'll never be the same without you here I'll live alone and hide myself behind my tears And I'll never be the same without your love I'll live alone and try so hard to rise above The years go by There's always someone new To try and help me forget about you Time and again, it does me no good Love never feels the way that it should I loved you then, I guess I'll love you forever And even though I know we could never stay together I'll think of how it could have been If we could just start all over again And I'll never be the same without you here I'll live alone and hide myself behind my tears And I'll never be the same without your love I'll live alone and try so hard to rise above It was good for me It was good for you Now nothing either of us can say or do Can change the way you feel today Sometimes love just slips away Just one thing before you go Just one thing that you've got to know No one will ever touch me that way The way that you did that very first day And I'll never be the same without you here I'll live alone and hide myself behind my tears And I'll never be the same without your love I'll live alone and try so hard to rise above

Easy, ready, willing, overtime Where does it stop Where do you dare me To draw the line You've got the body Now you want my soul Don't even think about it Say, no go I'll do anything That you want me to do Yeah, I'll do almost anything That you want me too, ooh Yeah But I can't go for that, no No can do I can't go for that, no No can do I can't go for that, no No can do I can't go for that Can't go for that Can't go for that Can't go for that I can go for being twice as nice I can go for just repeating The same old lines Use the body Now you want my soul Ooh, forget about it Now say, no go

Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me. It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me. Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free Fantasy, it gets the best of me When I'm sailing All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony Won't you believe me? Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me.
