Billie Jean/Take Me to the River - Live at the Town and Country Club, London, 1986
(Billie Jean)
I met this chick named Billie Jean
She was really keen
She wore tight jeans
She was extreme
So we were nice, know what I mean?
She wanted to dance
She wanted to groove
On the floor
So we went right downtown
To catch a bite
And it was night
We had some hamburgers
They were so bad
I nearly (?)
We wanted to dance
We wanted to g-g-groove
On the floor
Well people always told me
Be careful what you do
Don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts
(Woo)
All the time I knew
I could be special too
If somebody would just come on
And give me a new start
Bille Jean is not my love
She's just a girl who claims
That I am the one
But that brat is not my son
So we went hanging out on forty five
We felt alive
We felt so hip
We lost our grip
And fell down in a long long (?)
She wanted to dance
She wanted to groove
On the floor
Well I'll tell ya
People always told me
Be careful what you do
Don't go around
Breaking little girls' hearts
(Woo)
All the time I knew
I could be special too
If I just got on the road
And got a new start
(Take Me to the River)
I don't know why
I love you like I do
All the terrible things
You put me through
The garden gate
The garden hedge
Oh baby
Just another ledge
When I was round another-nother
Eleven years to move past a lie
And you say I love you too
Take me to the river
Don't leave me in the dry lands
Take me to the river
Don't leave me on the dry land
Sit me there
Sit me there
Sittin' me down
(Billie Jean)
I just need to find my own scene
Know what I mean?
I just need to find my own scene
You know what I mean?
I just need to find my own scene
Know what I mean?
I just need to find my scene
You know just what I
People always told me
Be careful what you do
Don't go around
Breaking little girls' hearts
(Woo)
All the time I knew
I was special too
And somebody just come along
And give me a start
Bille Jean is not my love
She's just a girl who says
That I was the one
But that brat is not my son
Billie Jean is not my love
Billie Jean is not my love
Billie Jean is not my love
Billie Jean is not my love
