Blood On The Dance Floor X Dangerous
Michael Jackson The Jacksons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alone tonight
Me here tonight
'Til it's all right
Damn lover friend of mine

She got your number, she know your game
She put you under, it's so insane
Since you seduced her, how does it feel
To know that woman is out to kill?

Susie got your number, and Susie ain't your friend
Look who took you under with seven inches in
Blood is on the dance floor, blood is on the knife
Susie's got your number, and Susie says it's right

Susie says it's, Su-Su says it's
(Take my, take my money)
Susie got your, Su-Susie got your
(Throw my time away)
Blood is on, is on, blood is
(You've been talking garbage)
The dance floor, the dance the night
(You're damn, damn good for me)

I never knew, but I was walking the line
"Come go with me," I said I have no time
And don't you pretend we didn't talk on the phone
My baby cried, she left me standing alone

Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel
This is Heartbreak Hotel, it's so evil
Heartbreak Hotel
This place is Heartbreak Hotel

10 years ago today
Dangerous, and Susie ain't your friend
Dangerous, with seven inches in
Dangerous, blood is on the knife
Dangerous, and Susie says it's right

A haunting ghostly treat, the foolish trickery
And spirits dancing in the night
But if you came to see the truth, the purity
It's here inside a lonely heart

So just leave me alone, girl
Leave me alone
Leave me alone, girl
Leave me alone
Stop it, just stop dogging me around

It was blood on the dance floor, to enjoy that simple dance
It was blood on the dance floor, everything was on my side
It was blood on the dance floor, like it was love and true romance
It was blood on the
And I just can't take it, the girl won't break it

You've been, you've been, you don't, you don't, don't
You don't, you don't, don't mess with my baby




She don't, she don't, she don't know it
She just, she just, mess with my baby

Overall Meaning

"Blood on the Dance Floor" is a song by Michael Jackson, released in 1997. The song has a horror-themed narrative with a fast-paced beat, catchy hooks, and a chorus that's easy to sing along with. The song's lyrics revolve around a lover who has betrayed his friend and is now being hunted by a woman named Susie. The lover is in danger and trapped, and he can't escape the woman who's out to kill him.


The opening lines of the song set up the night's setting where the singer is alone, and things aren't going alright. The chorus of the song introduces Susie, who's got the lover's number and knows his game. She's put a spell on the singer, and he's trapped. The line "look who took you under with seven inches in" implies sexual content and a sexual betrayal between Susie and the lover.


The song's lyrics are quite complex and open to interpretation. Still, overall, they suggest a nightmarish and dangerous atmosphere, where the singer is trapped and can't escape the danger that Susie presents. The song's horror tropes and the danceable beat make it an exciting and memorable track.
