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

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 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 tounge became a razor

someone's always tryin

to start my baby cryin

treacherous,cunnin,declinin

you got my baby cryin

( chorus )

you're a vegetable ( x 2 )

still they hate you

you're a vegetable

you're just a buffet

you're a vegetable

they eat off you

you're a vegetable

BillieJean 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 2 )

(adlib)-- 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 1 )

adlib---lift your head up high

and scream out to the world

I know I am someone

and let the truth unfurl

noone can hurt you now

because you know what's true

yes I believe in me

so you believe in you

help me sing it
