Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't stop raining
Oh, my baby

Keep on with the force, don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough
Keep on with the force, don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough
Keep on with the force, don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough
Keep on with the force, don't stop
Don't stop 'til you get enough

I said you wanna be starting something
You got to be starting something
I said you wanna be starting something
You got to be starting something
Too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
Too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

People always told me, "be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts"
And mother always told me, "be careful of who you love
And be careful what you do, 'cause the lie becomes the truth" (hey, hey, hey)

Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?

Will you tell us that you're okay?
Then a sound at the window
Then he struck you, a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

You've been hit by
You've been hit by
A smooth criminal

Do you remember, girl?
Do you remember, girl?
Do you remember, girl?

Why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way
If they say why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way

You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
The rarest love who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give (you rocked my world)
The rarest love who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine

Hey pretty baby, with the high heels on
You give me fever like I've never, ever known
You're just a product of loveliness
I like the groove of your walk, your talk, your dress

I feel your fever from miles around
I'll pick you up in my car and we'll paint the town
Just kiss me, baby, and tell me twice
That you're the one for me

The way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(You really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(You knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(My lonely days are gone)

Ain't nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business
But mine and my baby
G'on, girl! Oaow!
Hee-hee! Ooh!





It'll be out by now right?

They told him, "Don't you ever come around here"
"Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear"
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated

They'll kick you, then they'll beat you
Then they'll tell you it's fair

Before MJ died, he expressed a lot of interest with collaborating with the popular artists of the future, like Britney Spears and Snoop Dogg. Obviously these were the popular artists in the 90s and 2000s, but I think we can definitely say Michael would have loved to collab with modern artists such as Lil Nas X, The Weeknd, and more.
