Michael Jackson
Behind the Mask (12" Version)
[Verse 1]
All along I had to talk about it
Like a two-edged sword, it cuts you and it stabs me
All along I knew you were a phony girl
You sit behind the mask, and you control your world
Yesterday he had you in his arms
When I'm holding you, I feel his bitter charms
I can't judge what you're doing to me
You camouflage the truth, indulge your fantasy

[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Is it me now? Is it him, babe? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me, babe? Is it him now? I don't know
Ooh

[Post-Chorus]
(There is nothing in your eyes)
There is nothing in your eyes
(But that's the way you cry)
But that's the way you cry, girl
(All is grand, all is bright)
All is grand, all is bright
(You're just studying my mind)
I'm just confused, babe
(There is nothing in your eyes)
There is nothing in your eyes
(But that's the way you cry)
But that's the way you cry, yeah
(All is grand, all is bright)
All is grand, all is bright
(You're just studying my mind)
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
Was I invited to your masquerade?
Well, the party's over, so now take off the face
You say you love but it's hard to see
'Cause when you're in his arms, you're throwing rocks at me

[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Is it me, babe? Is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me, babe? Is it him now? I don't know
Ooh

[Post-Chorus]
(There is nothing in your eyes)
There is nothing in your eyes
(But that's the way you cry)
But that's the way you cry, girl
(All is grand, all is bright)
All is grand, all is bright
(You're just studying my mind)
Hee-hee, hee-hee
There is nothing in your eyes
But that's the way you cry
All is grand, all is bright (All is bright)
You're just studying my mind (Hey, hey)
[Verse 3]
Walk around, I'm suffering in my doom
When I come to you, you're sitting in your room
The truth in you I have longed to trace
So take off the mask so I can see your face

[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Is it me now? Is it him, babe? I don't know
Who do you love?
Is it me now? Is it him, babe? I don't know
Who do you love?

[Outro]
(Who do you love?)
Take off the mask, take off the mask, take off the mask
Take off the mask
(Who do you love?)
Take off the mask, take off the mask, take off the mask
Take off the mask
Take off the mask, take off the mask
Who do you love? Yeah, yeah (Who do you love?)

Who do you love? (Who do you love?)
Who do you love? (Who do you love?)
Who do you love? (Who do you love?)
Is it me, girl? Is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love, baby? (Who do you love?)
Is it me now? Is it him, babe?
Don't tell me, I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it (Who do you love?)
I don't wanna talk about it
Who do you love? Yeah (Who do you love?)
I can't stand it, I don't know
(Who do you love?)
