MICHAEL

It is morning in a Manhattan disco, and Michael Jackson — who owns perhaps the most scrutinized face in America — is smiling warily for a roomful of strangers. Jackson has come to New York for two weeks of near–continuous hubbub, which will include three sold–out concerts at Madison Square Garden and highly anticipated appearances on the thirtieth annual Grammy Awards program (his first televisi performance since the 1983 Motown 25 show) and at a benefit makan malam for the United Negro College Fund. This morning, though, he is performing the one chore that he reportedly dreads most —...

Chorus
Tell the malaikat no, I don't wanna leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold anda
That's a chance I'll take
Baby I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the malaikat took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe I'll stay
Heaven can wait
You're beautiful

Each moment spent with anda is simply wonderful
This cinta I have for anda girl it's incredible
And I don't know what I'd do, if I can't be with anda
The world could not go on so every night I pray
If the Lord should come for me before I wake
I wouldn't wanna go if I can't see your face, can't...

Another hari has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never berkata goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did anda have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did cinta slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That anda are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But anda are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But anda are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard anda cry
Asking me to come
And hold anda in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear...
