MICHAEL

Background Info
(AKA Nightline), this song was written da Glen Ballard, Brie Howard, David Allen Faragher (1982) for Michael's Thriller album, but failed to make the final track listing.

"When I found out it wasn't going to be on there, I just said, I'll be on the successivo one," detto Ballard in 1999. "And the truth is, I got on the successivo two, which cumulatively sold over 50 million. It turned out to be good karma. I feel that if Nite-Line had been on Thriller, I would never have written Man In The Mirror, which is an infinitely better song, and one of the best in my catalogue."

It was recorded as Nightline...

Aaow!-Hoo hoo!

I don't care what te talkin' 'bout baby
I don't care what te say
Don't te come walkin' beggin' back mama
I don't care anyway
Time after time I gave te all of my money
No excuses to make
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb baby
All is going my way

('Cause there's a time when you're right)
(And te know te must fight)
Who's laughing baby, don't te know
(And there's the choice that we make)
(And this choice te will take)
Who's laughin' baby

So just leave me alone girl- leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone)
Leave me alone-stop...
