YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA
Behind the Mask (Mike’s Mix)
[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
All along, I had to talk about it
But like a two-edged sword, it cuts you in its stab (Ah)
All along, I knew you were a phony girl
You sit behind the mask and you control your world
One is one, and two is doin' me
But to know ya good, you're nowhere next to me
I can't trust what you're doing to me
All I know is true, that you're damaging me, baby

[Refrain: Michael Jackson & Ryuichi Sakamoto]
(Now, the mask you're wearing) Heaven must be wary
(Is stoney and staring) You got me scared, girl
(Lines and tears, age and fears) Every year, yeah, that's good
(Growing old, passions cold) You got me scared, girl
(Now, the mask you're wearing) Heaven must be wary
(Is stoney and staring) You know what you did
(Lines and tears, age and fears) Every year, na-na-na
(Growing old, passions cold) Ayy-ayy-ayy

[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
You sit around and I watch your face
You try to feed the truth, but let them hide in place
Behind the mask, I know what you're doin' to me
I'm watching all your games, but in you, I can see
[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Who do you love?
Is it me with you? I don’t know
Who do you love?
I don't want it if I can't have it
You know me, hoo!

[Refrain: Michael Jackson, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Michael Jackson & Ryuichi Sakamoto]
(There is nothing in your eyes) There is nothing in your eyes
(That marks where you cried) But that's the way you cry, girl
(All is blank, all is blind) All is grand, all is bright
(Dead inside, the inner mind) Hee-hee, hee-hee
(There is nothing in your eyes) But that's the way you cry, ooh
(All is blank, all is blind) All is bright
(Dead inside, the inner mind) Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
I walk around, I’m suffering in my doom
And when I come to you, you're sitting in your room
You sit around in the strangest place
So take off the mask, so I can see your face

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Who do you love?
Is it me where I am? I don’t know
Who do you love?
I don't want it if I can't have it
I know you
Who do you love?
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Love, is it me with me?
I don't know
Who do you love?
I don't want if I can't have it
I don't know

[Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
Hee-hee-hee, hee-hee-hee
Hee-hee-hee, hee-hee

[Outro: Michael Jackson]
A-chika, a-chika, a-chika, a-chika
A-chika, a-chika, a-chika, a-chika
A-chika, a-chika, a-chika, a-chika
