Thriller (Megamix) lyrics
by Quincy Jones
[Part I: Billie Jean]
[Intro]
Who will dance on the floor in the round
How she caused a scene, Billie Jean
Who will dance on the floor in the round
[Verse 1]
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of bein' the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
[Pre-Chorus 1]
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
Don't go around breakin' young girls' hearts" (Hee-hee)
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do (Oh-oh)
'Cause the lie becomes the truth" (Oh-oh), hey-ey
[Chorus]
Billie Jean is not my lover, uh
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (Oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (Hoo)
She says I am the one (Oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (Hee-hee-hee, no-no, hee-hee-hee, hoo)
[Part II: Thriller]
[Verse 1]
It's close to midnight
And something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops you heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
[Chorus]
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight, yeah
Ooh
[Verse 2]
You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination (Girl)
But all the while
You hear a creature creepin’ up behind
You're out of time
[Chorus]
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance
Against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller (Ooh), thriller night
You're fighting for your life
Inside a killer, thriller tonight
[Part III: Wanna Be Startin Somethin]
[Chorus]
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
[Break]
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
Ma-ma-say, ma-ma-sah, ma-ma-coo-sah
[Chorus]
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
It's too high to get over(Yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under(Yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)
It's too high to get over (Yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (Yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (Yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 1]
I took my baby to the doctor with a fever
But nothin' he found
By the time this hit the street
They said she had a breakdown
Someone's always tryin'
To start my baby cryin'
Talkin', squealin', lyin'
Sayin' you just want to be startin' somethin'
[Bridge]
You got to be startin'—
You wanna be startin'—
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin' (Tee-hee, ha)
You got to be startin'
You wanna be startin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
You wanna be startin' somethin'
Said na, na, na
(Na, na, na)
Na, na-na, na
(Na, na-na, na)
Said na, na, na
(Na, na, na)
Na-na-na-na-na
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Oh, take you there
[Part IV: P.Y.T.]
[Verse 1]
Where did you come from, lady?
And ooh won't you take me there
Right away, won't you, baby?
Tenderoni, you've got to be
Spark my nature, sugar fly with me
Don't you know now is the perfect time
We can make it right, hit the city lights
Then tonight, ease the loving pain
Let me take you to the max
[Chorus]
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some loving (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there, girl, ooh-oh
I want to love you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty young thing
You need some loving (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there
[Bridge]
Hoo, P.Y.T., (A P.Y.T.), Ah baby, (I gotta), T.L.C., (Some T.L.C.)
Ah darlin, Ah baby, Ah darlin, mwah
(Ooh)
(Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah)
[Part V: Beat It]
[Verse 1]
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 (Ooh)
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
[Chorus]
Just beat it (Beat it), beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it, uh)
[Verse 2]
They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man (Ooh)
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it (Ooh)(Brr)
You have to show them that you're really not scared (Ooh)
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare (Ooh)
They'll kick you, then they'll beat you, then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
[Chorus]
Just beat it (Beat it), beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it)
Just beat it (Beat it, uh)
