GHOSTS
Written and Composed by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley
There’s a ghost down in the hall
There’s a ghoul upon the bed
There’s something in the walls
There’s blood up on the stairs
And it’s floating through the room
And there’s nothing I can see
And I know it’s bless the tune
Because now it’s haunting me
I don’t understand it
Don’t understand it
There’s a thumpin’ in the floor
There’s a creak behind the door
There’s a rocking in the chair
But there’s no-one sitting there
There’s a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin inlay open
Where a restless soul is pokin’
I don’t understand it
Don’t understand it
(Got a ghost
Got a break in the walls
Got a ghoul
Got a break in the halls
Got to see it
Want to)
And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
They put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy?
The ghost of jealousy
There’s a thumpin’ in the floor
There’s a creak behind the door
There’s a rocking in the chair
But nobody’s sitting there
There’s a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin inlay open
Where a restless soul is going
Don’t understand it
Don’t understand it
(Got a ghost
Got a break in the walls
Got a ghoul
Got a break in the halls
Got to see it
Want to)
And who gave you the right to scheme my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion to see me?
And who gave you the right to shame my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my family trees?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy?
A suckin’ ghost of jealousy
And who gave you the right to shame my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
And who gave you the right to take intrusion to see me?
And who gave you the right to hurt my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy?
The ghost of jealousy
Come on!
But it’s dynamite
A peace of mine
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy?
