All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for you to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you

Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My star secret friend and me

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Look for the rainbow in the sky
I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me

Though you're gone star far away
Each time I see a rainbow
I'll remember being with you
Smiles coming through my tears

When someone in the dark reaches out for you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Look for the rainbow in the sky
I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me!

Lyrics

Sun comes up on this new morning

Shifting shadows, a songbird sings

And if these words couldn't keep you happy

I'd do anything

And if you feel alone, I'll be your shoulder

With a tender touch, you know so well

Somebody once said, it's the soul that matters

Baby who can really tell, when two hearts belong so well?

And maybe the walls will tumble

And the sun may refuse to shine

But when I say, I love you

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

Moon shines down on this good evening

One warm kiss in the cold night air

For this good love i'm recieving

I'd go anywhere

Just as long as you were there

And maybe the walls will tumble

And the sun may refuse to shine

When I say, I love you

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

Oh, then on these quiet days

Where souls embrace

So silently

Oh, the rain may wash away

All these words that young lovers say

And maybe the walls will crumble

And the sun may refuse to shine

But when I say, I need you

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

Say that you'll never go

That's for all time

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

Baby you gotta know

That's for all time

watch and listen to it :

The original demo version of the song was written by the singer and Greg Phillinganes for Jackson's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). This original demo version of the song was re-done to a more up-tempo beat by James Ingram, producer Quincy Jones with Michael Jackson. The pair were thus credited with the writing of the song. Two of Jackson's sisters, Janet and La Toya, provided backing vocals in the guise of the P.Y.T.s. "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" was released on September 19, 1983, as the penultimate single from Thriller. The single charted at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 46 on the R&B singles chart, becoming the sixth Top 10 hit from the album. In the UK, the song reached a peak position of 11. The single was most successful in Belgium, charting within the Top 10 at number 6. "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" has been covered and sampled by numerous artists, including Monica, Justin Guarini and Kanye West. The original demo was also remixed by Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am for Thriller 25.

"P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" was written by Michael Jackson and Greg Phillinganes for Jackson's Thriller album. This original demo version of the song was re-done to a more up-tempo beat by James Ingram and producer Quincy Jones.^[1][2]a[›] Jones and Ingram were credited with the writing of the song in the Thriller album booklet.^[3] Ingram later described working with Jackson and Jones as being in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. "It's almost like I got the chance to go to Oz and Quincy was the Wizard of Oz and Michael Jackson was who he was dealing with in his world. Their work ethic is unbelievable."^[4] He noted how Jones would fall asleep on the board, waking up to answer a question. "He works in the Alpha state a lot", Ingram added.^[4] Two of Jackson's sisters, Janet and La Toya, provided backing vocals in the guise of the P.Y.T.s. The two sisters sang "na na na" back at their brother towards the end of the song.^[1][5][6]

"P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" was released on September 19, 1983, as the penultimate single from Thriller. The single charted at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 46 on the R&B singles chart, becoming the sixth Top 10 hit from Thriller.^[5][7] In the United Kingdom, the song reached a peak position of 11.^[1] The song was most successful in Belgium, charting within the Top 10 at number 6.^[1] The single was placed at number 13 in Holland and number 14 in the Netherlands.^[1][8] "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" charted at number 24 in Canada and peaked at number 51 in Germany.^[1]

Response to the song was mixed. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic enjoyed the song, and thought that the song was "frizzy funk." ^[9] However, Rolling Stone reviewer Christopher Connelly, while discussing the album in a review, stated that the song "isn't up to the spunky character of the other tracks." Connelly mentioned that one of Jackson's weaknesses was "a tendency to go for the glitz," and cited the song as one example of this.^[10] Davitt Sigerson, from the same magazine, also agreed with Connelly, calling the song one of Thriller's "forgettables".^[11] Jon Pareles of The New York Times called the song "fluff", and believed that the other songs from the album were what made Thriller such a hit.^[12] Tal Rosenberg of Stylus Magazine believed that the song was a "jazzy R&B number",^[13] and Eric Henderson of the same magazine believed that the song was a "lush disco paradise."^[14]

For Thriller 25, Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am remixed "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)".^[17] The singer commented on Jackson and the project, "You always just dream of meeting him, let alone working with him. I wouldn't have believed it. I grew up in the projects in East Los Angeles and Thriller was filmed about two blocks from my house, but my mother was really strict and she wouldn't let me go to the factories—she didn't care who was filming a video there; but I'm on the 25th anniversary, 25 years later—that's pretty awesome."^[4] Entitled "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) 2008", the remix was well received by Rolling Stone. The publication described the track, along with "The Girl Is Mine 2008", as being one of the best songs on the album.^[18] They noted that will.i.am "updates the songs' original sound to make them dancefloor-worthy twenty-five years after their release".^[18]

Jackson's demo version of "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" was sampled on Monica's 2002 single "All Eyez on Me".^[5][20] "We used vocals from the song that didn't make the Thriller album", stated producer Rodney Jerkins. "He [Jackson] had more vocals and ad-libs that were never heard, and we used the ones that were not heard."^[5] Jackson hand delivered his original masters to Monica, who, as a longtime Jackson fan, was touched by the move.^[19][21] "He was extremely helpful", she said. "I know his relationship with Rodney helped, but as an artist I was really honored he took that much of an interest in it. He really could have FedExed the stuff and been through with it."^[21] She added that the pop star was fine with adding his ad-libs to her song.^[21] Newer vocals that Jackson had recorded in 2000, in which he is heard singing "get it on, get it on", were included on the Japanese version of the All Eyez on Me album.^[5]

American Idol runner-up Justin Guarini sang "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" on the first season of the show.^[22] The chorus of "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" was sampled by rapper Memphis Bleek on "I Wanna Love U". The song, sung by Donnell Jones, featured on Bleek's M.A.D.E. album, issued in 2003.^[5][23] Part of the lyrics to Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." refer to Jackson's song, and are said to be in homage to the singer.^[24][25] "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" was also sampled on rapper Kanye West's "Good Life", the third single from his 2007 Graduation album.^[26] PopMatters noted that the sample "works".^[27]

"Human Nature" is an R&B song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was written by Steve Porcaro and John Bettis, and produced by Quincy Jones for the singer's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). Initially, Porcaro had recorded a rough demo of the song on a cassette, which was then given to Jones. Enjoying the demo, Jones had the ballad included on the Thriller album. The song was the last selected for the album, ousting "Carousel" from the final track listing.

"Human Nature" was released on July 3, 1983, as the album's fifth single. Although not released in the UK, the song achieved chart success in the US. Reaching number two on Billboard's Hot Adult Contemporary chart and number seven on the Hot 100, the song became Jackson's fifth Top 10 hit from Thriller. In New Zealand the single reached number 11. The ballad garnered many positive reviews from music critics. "Human Nature" has been covered and sampled by numerous artists, including Miles Davis, SWV, Nas, Jason Nevins, Alicia Keys and Boyz II Men.

"Human Nature" was written by Steve Porcaro of Toto and John Bettis for Michael Jackson's Thriller album. Initially, Porcaro recorded a rough demo of the song on a cassette.^[1] Fellow Toto band member David Paich then gave the demo, along with two songs written by Paich, to producer Quincy Jones, hoping they would be included on Thriller.^[1] Jones didn't like Paich's songs, but enjoyed the rough demo of "Human Nature" at the end of the cassette.^[1] Jones explained, "All of a sudden, at the end, there was all this silence, there was: 'why, why, dah dah da-dum dah dah, why, why'. Just a dummy lyric and a very skeletal thing—I get goosebumps talking about it. I said, 'This is where we wanna go, because it's got such a wonderful flavor'".^[2] Bettis, who had written lyrics for hits by The Carpenters and The Pointer Sisters, among others, was asked to add lyrics to the song. He completed the song in two days.^[3] The producer asked if the song could be included on Jackson's album, to which Porcaro and Bettis agreed.^[1] "Human Nature" was the last song selected for Thriller, ousting "Carousel" from the final track listing.^[1]

"Human Nature" was released on July 3, 1983, as the fifth single from Thriller.^[1] Although not released in the UK, the song achieved moderate chart success in the US.^[1] Reaching number two on Billboard's Hot Adult Contemporary chart and number seven on the Hot 100, the song became Jackson's fifth Top 10 hit from Thriller.^[5][6] "Human Nature" charted at number 27 on the R&B singles chart.^[5] In the Netherlands the single reached number 11.^[7]

John Rockwell, of The New York Times, stated that "Human Nature" was a "haunting, brooding ballad" with an "irresistible" chorus.^[8] Allmusic noted that the "gentle and lovely" "Human Nature" coexisted comfortably with the "tough, scared" "Beat It".^[9] They later added that the song was a "soft rocker".^[10] Reflecting on Thriller, Slant expressed their fondness of the song, stating that it was "probably the best musical composition on the album and surely one of the only A/C ballads of its era worth remembering".^[11] The magazine added that the track's "buttery harmonies" were powerful.^[11] Stylus also praised the song, describing it as "the smoothest of ballads".^[12] They further added that the music "does little to embody the song’s message" and that it couches Jackson's "glazed voice" in "cloudy synths and drum pillows".

About.com's Bill Lamb looked back on the track 25 years after its release. He felt that the song "set down a blueprint for what would become known as adult R&B".^[13] Kelefa Sanneh of Blender described the "soft-serve balladry" of the song as a "silk-sheets masterstroke".^[14] In a 2008 IGN review, Todd Gilchrist explained that the elements of "Human Nature" worked better today than they did before. He added that it may be because modern R&B "sucks".^[15] Tom Ewing, reviewer for Pitchfork Media, described the song as "meltingly tender", with MTV adding that it was an "airy ballad".^[16][17] Rolling Stone claimed that the "most beautifully fragile" "Human Nature" was so open and brave it made "She's Out of My Life" seem phony.^[18] The Los Angeles Times concluded that it was Jackson's delivery that made the "middling ballad" take off.^[19]

"Human Nature" was first covered by saxophonist George Howard in his 1984 album Steppin' Out.^[24] Miles Davis included a cover version of the song on his album You're Under Arrest in 1985.^[25] At the time, Rolling Stone described the track's inclusion on the album as "glorified filler".^[26] The Seattle Post-Intelligencer disagreed, stating it was "particularly good".^[27] In 1993, "Human Nature" was sampled by R&B group SWV. Entitled "Right Here/Human Nature", the song was a remix of the group's "Right Here".^[25][28] "Right Here/Human Nature" reached number one on the R&B singles chart and number two on the Hot 100.^[25] In the UK the song charted at number 3.^[25] The song was later included on the soundtrack album of Free Willy, alongside Jackson's "Will You Be There".^[25] SWV's remix was sampled by Tupac Shakur on "Thug Nature", from the 2001 posthumous album Too Gangsta for Radio.^[25]

"Human Nature" was sampled in 1994 for "It Ain't Hard to Tell" by Nas. The cover featured on Nas's Illmatic album.^[25][29] Jason Nevins sampled Jackson's track on "I'm in Heaven", which also featured vocals by Holly James.^[30] BLACKstreet's "Why, Why" also sampled "Human Nature". The song appeared on the 2003 album Level II.^[25][31] In 2004, Boyz II Men included a Latin-style cover of the song on their Throwback, Vol. 1 album.^[32][33] Claudette Ortiz provided backing vocals on the track.^[25] Nashville singer-songwriter David Mead also recorded a version of "Human Nature" for his 2004 release, Indiana.^[25] Mead later commented, "At a Nashville tribute set theme night, I played Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and "Human Nature". "Human Nature" was the one that stuck. When I started playing opening slots, it was a way to play something I liked and get people to pay attention."^[34] John Mayer performed an instrumental version of the song at Jackson's public memorial service on July 7, 2009.^[35] Occasional covers have also been performed by Craig David^[36] and Alicia Keys.^[37]

1st Verse]

She Was More Like A Beauty Queen From A Movie Scene

I Said Don't Mind, But What Do You Mean I Am The One

Who Will Dance On The Floor In The Round

She Said I Am The One Who Will Dance On The Floor In The Round

[2nd Verse]

She Told Me Her Name Was Billie Jean, As She Caused A Scene

Then Every Head Turned With Eyes That Dreamed Of Being The One

Who Will Dance On The Floor In The Round

[Bridge]

People Always Told Me Be Careful Of What You Do

And Don't Go Around Breaking Young Girls' Hearts

And Mother Always Told Me Be Careful Of Who You Love

And Be Careful Of What You Do 'Cause The Lie Becomes The Truth

[Chorus]

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

She's Just A Girl Who claims That I Am The One

But The Kid Is Not My Son

She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son

[3rd Verse]

For Forty Days And Forty Nights

The Law Was On Her Side

But Who Can Stand When She's In Demand

Her Schemes And Plans

'Cause We Danced On The Floor In The Round

So Take My Strong Advice, Just Remember To Always Think Twice

(Do Think Twice)

[4th Verse]

She Told My Baby We'd Danced 'Till Three

Then She Looked At Me

Then Showed A Photo My Baby Cried

His Eyes Looked Like Mine

Go On Dance On The Floor In The Round, Baby

[Bridge]

People Always Told Me Be Careful Of What You Do

And Don't Go Around Breaking Young Girls' Hearts

She Came And Stood Right By Me

Then The Smell Of Sweet Perfume

This Happened Much Too Soon

She Called Me To Her Room

[Chorus]

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

She's Just A Girl Who claims That I Am The One

But The Kid Is Not My Son

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

She's Just A Girl Who claims That I Am The One

But The Kid Is Not My Son

She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son

She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

She's Just A Girl Who claims That I Am The One

But The Kid Is Not My Son

She Says I Am The One, But The Kid Is Not My Son

She Says I Am The One, She Says He Is My Son

She Says I Am The One

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover

Billie Jean Is Not My Lover
