Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There we are, as cold as ice
Asking me to love you
And often be your friend
There you are, I walk alone
Telling me to love you
And often be your end

She told me she was givin' me
A lifetime love forever true
But she left me for another man
And I'm singin' to keep from feelin' blue

All I know is
(Oh, Lord)
Come on, set me free
(Set me free)

Here I am, so all alone
And I'm so sad and lonely
Tell me what will I do
I can't reveal, I'm holdin' on
I want you still to love me
I feel I am your fool

They told me you should sing a song
Of happy with your feelin' blue
I been singin' for so very long
Still I'm cryin', tell me what should I do

All I know is
(Oh, Lord)
Come on, set me free
(Set me free)

She told me she'd be givin' me
A lifetime love so guarantee (guarantee)
But she left me for another man
And I'm singin', cryin' helplessly
But I'll keep singing'

(Oh, Lord)
(Oh, my, my)
Come on, set me free
(Set me free)
(Whoa)

(Oh, Lord, and I keep crying)
(That's what I want, baby)
(Oh, Lord, oh, Lord)
Come on, set me free
(Set me free)

All I know is
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, I, oh)
Come on, set me free




(Set me free)
(Whoa, whoa)

Line by Line Meaning

There we are as cold as ice
We were distant and unfeeling towards each other


Asking me to love you
Despite the emotional distance, you still wanted my affection


And after be your friend
But you only wanted my friendship after demanding my love


There you are, I walk alone
Now I am alone and you have left me behind


Telling me to love you
Once again you demand my love, even though you have abandoned me


And after we all did?
But you have already rejected the love of all those who cared for you


She told me she forgiving me
She claimed to have forgiven me for what I did wrong


A lot time Love forever true
We had a long history together and our love was supposed to last forever


But she left me for another man
But she still chose to abandon me for someone else


And I'm singing to keep from feelin' blue
I'm singing to distract myself from feeling depressed and heartbroken


All I know is Tschada dada dada daa
I don't know what else to say or do, so I'm just making meaningless sounds


(Oh no)
Expressing regret and sadness


Come on take me please
Begging someone to take away the pain and loneliness


(Set me free)
Yearning to be released from the emotional torment


Here I am so all alone
I'm still alone and feeling sad


And I am so sad and lonely
Deeply depressed and without companionship


Tell me what will I do
Asking for advice or guidance


I can't explain, I'm all alone
Feeling unable to express or understand the depth of the loneliness


You used to love me
Reflecting on a past relationship where love was present


I feel I'm your blue
Feeling like the sadness and loneliness is a burden caused by the other person


They told me you should sing a song
Others suggested using music as a way to heal and cope


And happy with your feelin' blue
Even in the midst of sadness, one can find some happiness or solace


I'm singing for so very long
Continuing to sing, perhaps because it is the only outlet for emotions


Still crying, tell me what should I do.
Despite singing and trying to cope, the pain is still present and advice is sought


Tschada dada dada daa
Returning to making meaningless sounds and noises


(Oh no)
Expressing regret and sadness


(And I keep crying)
Continuing to feel overwhelmed with emotion


(That's what I want?)
Questioning the desire for the object of affection


(Hold on, Hold on)
Urging oneself to persevere and keep going


Set me free
Crying out for release and freedom from the emotional pain


(Wooh)
A sound of distress or anguish
