Dirty Diana
Jackson (Michael) Lyrics

You never make me stay
You never force me to be with you

So take your weight off of me
So please stop pressuring me

I know your every move
I know your intentions and your methods

So won't you just let me be
So can you just leave me alone?

I've been here times before
I have been in similar situations before

But I was too blind to see
But I didn't realize the true nature of the situation

That you seduce every man
That you seduce and manipulate every man around you

This time you won't seduce me
But this time it won't work with me

She's saying that's okay
She is giving permission

Hey baby do what you please
Go ahead, do whatever you want

I have the stuff the you want
I am the object of your desire

I am the thing that you need
I am what you crave

She looked me deep in the eyes
She stared at me intensely

She's touchin' me so to start
She's initiating physical contact

She says there's no turnin' back
She insists there's no going back

She trapped me in her heart
She emotionally ensnared me

Dirty Diana, nah
Vocals of the chorus

Let me be!
Leave me alone!

She likes the boys in the band
She is attracted to musicians

She knows when they come to town
She's aware of their arrival

Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down
She pursues every fan after the show

She waits at backstage doors
She waits at the back door

For those who have prestige
For those who have status and power

Who promise fortune and fame
Who offer wealth and fame

A life that's so carefree
A life that's easy and stress-free

And I don't care what you say
And I won't listen to your objections

I want to go too far
I want to take things too far

I'll be your everything
I will fulfill all of your desires

If you make me a star
If you make me famous

She said I have to go home
She said she needs to go home

'Cause I'm real tired you see
Because she's exhausted

But I hate sleeping alone
But she hates sleeping alone

Why don't you come with me
So why don't you join me?

I said my baby's at home
I said my partner is at home

She's probably worried tonight
They are probably worried right now

I didn't call on the phone to
I didn't call them on the phone to

Say that I'm alright
Tell them that I'm okay

Diana walked up to me
Diana approached me

She said I'm all yours tonight
She said she is mine for the night

At that I ran to the phone
At that point, I rushed to the phone

Sayin' baby I'm alright
Saying that I'm okay, baby

I said but unlock the door
I said please unlock the door

Because I forgot the key.
Because I don't have the key

She said he's not coming back
She said my partner isn't coming back

Because he's sleeping with me
Because he's sleeping with her

Come on!
