Who Is It
迈克尔·杰克逊 Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 ?
(Who is it ?)
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 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
(Who is it ?)
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
(Who is it ?)
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
The song "Who Is It" by Michael Jackson talks about a man who was deserted by his lover, who made promises but didn't keep them. The singer had given her everything he had and made promises of forever, and she promised to love him for all time. However, she ended up leaving for reasons unknown. The lyrics express his loneliness and confusion, as he wonders who could have taken her away from him, leading to thoughts of betrayal and loss.
The first verse talks about how the singer gave his lover everything - money, time, passion, and promises. He believed that they would live their lives together, and start anew. However, things did not go according to plan, leading him to question what he did wrong. He wonders who his lover went to, and whether she betrayed him.
In the latter part of the song, the singer expresses his loneliness, telling the listener not to judge him for his composure. He cannot help but feel bothered every day since his lover left him without any explanation. Despite his attempts to find out the truth, he is left alone, crying every night. The chorus repeats the question, "Who is it?" multiple times, asking who could have hurt him so badly.

Somebody hurt my soul

I can't take this stuff no more
I can't handle this situation any further
I am the damned
I feel cursed and punished
I am the dead
I feel lifeless and empty
I am the agony inside
My pain is consuming me from within
The dying head
I feel like my life and hope are slipping away
This is injustice
This situation is unfair and unjust
Woe unto thee
A curse on the person who has hurt me
I pray this punishment
I hope this pain goes away soon
Would have mercy on me
I wish that my suffering would lessen
It seems that she has left me
It appears that she has abandoned our relationship
For such reasons unexplained
I do not understand why she left me
I need to find the truth
I need to know what really happened
To me I'm bothered
I continue to be upset
I can't take it 'cause I'm lonely
I am struggling with my loneliness
She just up and ran away
She left without saying anything
