With a fever, but nothing he found

Talkin’, squealin’, lyin’
Sayin’ you just wanna be startin’ somethin’

When you’re always up to no good
You really can’t make him hate her
So your tongue became a razor

To keep my baby cryin’
Treacherous, cunnin’, declinin’
You got my baby cryin’

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

Billie Jean is always talkin’
When nobody else is talkin’
Tellin’ lies and rubbin’ shoulders
So they called her mouth a motor

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
