I said you wanna be startin' sometin'

I took my baby to the doctor

With a fever, but nothing he found

By the time this hit the street

Someone's always tryin' to start my baby cryin'

Talkin', squealin', lyin'

Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' sometin'

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'

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'

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'

Lift your head up high

And scream out to the world

I know I am someone

And let the truth unfurl

No one can hur you now

Because you know what's true

Yes, I believe in me

So you believe in you

Help me sing it

Ma me se, ma me sa, ma ma coo sa, ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa
