For All You Michael Jackson Fans

"Love from the Heart of a King"
by:  Eric L. Boddie 

Do you “Remember the Time” 
When I couldn’t get you out of my mind 
You were just “Another Part of Me” 
Not just like “Billie Jean” you see 
And I never wanted to say “She’s Out of My Life” 
Because only a “P.Y.T.” could become my wife 
I wanted the ultimate “Thriller,” and you were so “Bad” 
And I never felt like a “Stranger in Moscow,” I’m so glad 
Don’t you remember when we met, “Dirty Diana” wanted to take me to the stall 
But you, and only you, had what it took to make me get up “Off the Wall” 
So there was “Blood on the Dance Floor,” but I did not care 
All because you always said yes when I asked, “Will You Be There” 
You never told me to “Beat It,” you never made me “Scream” 
You never cared about “Black or White,” or demanded me to “Jam” while on your team 
You only wanted the truth, that’s all you told me to ever do 
You tried your best to “Heal the World,” but I just wanted to “Rock with You” 
But, as you already know, “They Don’t Care About Us” 
I guess it’s just “Human Nature,” there is nothing more to discuss 
Just remember that “You Are Not Alone” 
“The Way You Make Me Feel,” keeps me near the phone 
Only that way can the “Smooth Criminal” feel superior 
How do I know, I simply asked the “Man in the Mirror”
