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,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

It's too high to get over,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
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 just wanna be startin' somethin'.

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,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

It's too high to get over,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

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'.

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,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

It's too high to get over,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

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.
Aou!

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'.

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,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

It's too high to get over,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

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.
Aou!

If you can't feed your baby,
then don't have a baby.

And don't think maybe
if you can't feed your baby.

You'll be always tryin'
to stop that child from cryin'.

Hustlin', stealin', lyin',
now baby's slowly dyin'.

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,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

It's too high to get over,
too low to get under.

You're stuck in the middle
and the pain is thunder.

Lift your head up high
and scream out to the world:

I know I am someone,
and let the truth unfurl.

No one can hurt you now
because you know what's true.

Yes, I believe in me
so you believe in you.
Help me sing it:

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa,
ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa.

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