The search for love is never black or white.
I'm just looking for a pretty young thing.
It's human nature to desire what is right.
Forget Billie Jean, girl was just a fling.
I'm just looking for a pretty young thing.
Not like dirty Diana, girl's too bad.
Forget Billie Jean, girl was just a fling.
Liberian girl only made me sad.
Not like dirty Diana, girl's too bad.
It's not as simple as ABC.
Liberian girl only made me sad.
Those kinda girls too dangerous for me.
It's not as simple as ABC.
Man in the mirror needs a loyal wife.
Those kinda girls too dangerous for me.
They don't care about us - just ruin life.
Man in the mirror needs a loyal wife.
Someone to rock my world, not run away.
They don't care about us - just ruin life,
Blame it on the boogie is all they say.
Someone to rock my world, not run away,
to be with me more than one day in my life.
Blame it on the boogie is all they say,
drives me wild, but my heart's desire is rife.
To be with me more than one day in my life.
A slave to the rhythm, I wanna rock with you,
drives me wild, but my heart's desire is rife.
Give in to me, start a love born anew.
A slave to the rhythm, I wanna rock with you.
Together we can heal the world in tune.
Give in to me, start a love born anew.
I just can't stop loving you - feeling swoon.
Together we can heal the world in tune.
I can't describe the way you make me feel.
I just can't stop loving you - feeling swoon.
Love never felt so good, it's a big deal.
I can't describe the way you make me feel.
Whenever you need me, I'll be there.
Love never felt so good, it's a big deal.
Will you be there when I need loving care?
Whenever you need me, I'll be there.
Can you feel it, are your emotions strong?
Will you be there when I need loving care?
You are not alone is our special song.
Can you feel it, are your emotions strong?
Loving you can sometimes be really tough.
You are not alone is our special song,
but I sing, don't stop till you get enough.
Loving you can sometimes be really tough.
Beat it you say and don't talk on the phone,
but I sing, don't stop till you get enough.
You become mute and say leave me alone.
Beat it you say and don't talk on the phone.
We talked for hours, remember the time?
You become mute and say leave me alone.
Who is it that now makes your heart chime?
We talked for hours, remember the time?
Romantic gestures that have gone too soon.
Who is it that now makes your heart chime?
She's out of my life - a smooth criminal's goon.
Romantic gestures that have gone too soon.
It's human nature to desire what is right.
She's out of my life -a smooth criminal's goon.
The search for love is never black or white.

Pantoum poem
A rare form of poetry. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and
fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the
next. This pattern continues for any number of stanzas, except for the final
stanza, which differs in the repeating pattern. The first and third lines of
the last stanza are the second and fourth of the penultimate; the first line of
the poem is the last line of the final stanza, and the third line of the first
stanza is the second of the final. Ideally, the meaning of lines shifts when
they are repeated although the words remain exactly the same: this can be done
by shifting punctuation, punning, or simply recontextualizing.
It does not have to rhyme nor have a syllable restriction.
