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)

 I took my baby to the doctor

 With a fever, but nothing 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 wanna be startin' somethin'

Chorus

 You love to pretend that you're good

 When you're always up to no good

 You really can't make him hate her

 So your tongue became a razor

Someone's always tryin'

 To keep my baby cryin'

Treacherous, cunnin', declinin'

 You got my baby cryin'

Chorus

Bridge

 You're a vegetable, you're a vegetable

 Still they hate you, you're a vegetable

 You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable

 They eat off of you, you're a vegetable

 Billie Jean is always talkin'

 When nobody else is talkin'

 Tellin' lies and rubbin' shoulders

 So they called her mouth a motor

Someone's always tryin'

 To start my baby cryin'

Talkin', squealin', spyin'

 Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'

Chorus

 You're a vegetable, you're a vegetable

 Still they hate you, you're a vegetable

 You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable

 They eat off of you, you're a vegetable, aow!

Solo

Yee-haw!

 If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah)

 Then don't have a baby (yeah, yeah)

 And don't think maybe (yeah, yeah)

 If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah)

You'll be always tryin'

 To stop that child from cryin'

Hustlin', stealin', lyin'

 Now baby's slowly dyin'

Chorus

 Lift your head up high

 And scream out to the world

 I know I am someone

 And let the truth unfurl

 No one can hurt you now

 Because you know what's true

 Yes, I believe in me

 So you believe in you, help me sing it

 Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa

 Ma ma se, ma ma sa, Ma ma coo sa

 Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa

 Ma ma se, ma ma sa, Ma ma coo sa

Repeat
