Michael Jackson
Behind the Mask (Mike’s Mix (Demo))
[Verse 1: Michael Jackson]
All along, I had to talk about it
But 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
Wonders, what are you doing to me?
But you know the truth, you're nowhere next to me
I can't trust what you do to me
All I know is true, that you're damaging, baby

[Chorus 1: 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 years, you've been through
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
Ey-ey-ey!
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
You sit around and I watch your face
You try to be the truth
You look for a hiding place
Behind the mask, I know whatcha do to me
I'm watching all your games, but then your eye can see…

Who do you love?
Is it me?
With you?
I don’t know
Who do you love?
I don't want you
If you can't answer
You know me! Hoo!

[Chorus 2: 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
That marks where you cried
But that's the way you cry
Hoo! Uh!
All is blank, all is blind
All is bright
Dead inside, the inner mind
Eh-eh ey
[Bridge: Ryuichi Sakamoto]
Is it me, is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
Is it me, is it you
Who wears another face

[Verse 3: Michael Jackson]
I walk around, I’m suffering in my doom
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!

Who do you love?
Is it me?
With You?
I don't know
Who do you love, babe?
I don't want you
If you can't answer
I know you

[Bridge: Ryuichi Sakamoto]
Is it me, is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
Is it me, is it you
Who wears another face
[Outro: Michael Jackson, Ryuichi Sakamoto]
Who do you love?
Uh!
Is it me?
With You?
Who do you love, babe?
I don't want you
If you can't answer
I know you

I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it

Is it me, is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
Is it me, is it you
Who wears another face
Is it me, is it you
Behind this mask, I ask
I ask
I ask
