You're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Around and round you're turning me

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

Instinctively you give to me
The love that i need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully i see to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

I know you got charm and appeal
You always play the field
I'm crazy you are mine
As long as the sun continues to shine
There's a place in my heart for you
That's the bottomline

Upside down
Boy, you turn me

I said a upside down you're turning me




You're giving love instinctively
Around and round you're turning me

This just shows how much the stage and the music is literally made for Michael Jackson. No matter how many good artists sing. All it takes is for MJ to get on stage, and he instantly just creates that aura and energy that causes the whole world to gravitate towards him.

Literally and Eye...mean that!

I have to agree. Michael at that time hadn't done Thriller. We just don't seem to have the superstars like we did back in the early 80,s.
I guess I'm showing how much older we all are now. Anyway thanks for posting. I was a child back then. 50 this year. RIP Michael Jackson.

Micheal was a phenomenal performer, but let's not overlook the pure chemistry between these two. They both effortlessly flowed with the song and perfomance.
