Bad 25 - The Lyrics

I would say the lyrics for Price of Fame, I'm So Blue and Al Capone sound pretty complete.

Abortion Papers sounds a bit improv'd in places, but no more than a song like Morphine.

Free is obviously just a rough guide vocal though.

POF, Al Capone and I'm so blue, imo lyrics sound finished. Free - the chorus is completely finished and most of the verses but not quite maybe 80% finished.
 
Here is my take on the Price of Fame:


I took my baby on a river boat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited about the way the things could have been
Cause Baby I don't care

I want a face noone could recognise in disguise
Someone called out my name
They thought of taking pictures, autographs then they left
My joy had turned to pain

My father always told me you won't live a quiet life
If you are reaching for fortune and fame
I feel the pressure settling in
I am living just to win
I'm drowning in my pain
Don't you feeling no pain

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feeling no pain
It's the price of fame
It's the price of fame
So don't you ever complain

I am the cover of a magazine, what a scene
They know my every news
Just sign your name on the dotted line, you'll be fine
That always bothers me

Get in your car you wanna take a ride, look behind
Someone is following you
You try to get away you turn real fast but too bad
They know your every move

My father always told me you won't live a quiet life
If you are reaching for fortune and fame
And I feel the pressure settling in
I am living just to win
I'm feeling all this pain
Don't you ever complain

It's the price of fame
You pay the price for fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price for fame
So don't be feeling no pain

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame

Father never lies
My father never lies
My father never lies
So don't be feeling this way boy

I like to take some time and get away, then they say
Is that boy still alive
The weekly bidders (or billers?) thought they'd take a ???, what a thrill
Only the strong survive

My father always told me you won't live the quiet life
They'll start wondering where have you been
I feel the envious look at me
A mistaken jealousy
Then stand here in my shoes
And get a taste of my blues

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price for fame
So don't be feeling this way

It's the price of fame
You pay the price for fame
So don't you ever complain

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame

My father never lies
My father never lied
My father never lied
So don't be feeling no pain boy

Here is my take...in red.

I hear--'asking me to love you enough to be your friend'
 
Alright my take on I'm so Blue

I'm So Blue

Written by, Michael Jackson

There we are as cold as ice
Asking me to love you and often be your friend
Where you are, I walk alone
Telling me to love you and often be your friend

Well She told me she'd be giving me
A lifetime love forever true
But she left me for another man
And I'm singing to keep from feeling blue

All I know is...

Shada dada dada daa (Hold on)
Shada dada dada daa
Shada dada dada daa
Come on set me free
[Set me free]

Here I am so all alone
And I'm so sad and lonely, tell me what will I do
I can't heal, I'm holding on
You can't seem to love me, I feel I am your fool

They told me you should sing a song
Of happy when you're feeling blue
I've been singing for so very long
Still I'm crying, tell me what should I do

All I know is...

Shada dada dada daa (Hold on)
Shada dada dada daa (Ohhh)
Shada dada dada daa
Come on set me free
[Set me free]

She told me she'd be giving me
A lifetime of love so guaranteed
But she left me for another man
And I'm singing, crying helplessly

But I'll keep singing...

Shada dada dada daa (Hold on)
Shada dada dada daa (All my life)
Shada dada dada daa
Come on set me free
[Set me free]

Woahhhhh
Shada dada dada daa (and I'll be crying)
Shada dada dada daa
Shada dada dada daa (Hold on, Hold on)
Come on set me free
[Set me free]

All I know is

Shada dada dada daa (Woaaaahhhh, Woaahh)
Shada dada dada daa
Shada dada dada daa
Come on set me free
[Set me free]

(Fade Out)

All new songs are written by Michael Jackson alone. The first post is wrong. Free is not co-written with Carole Bayer Sager.

I took what mjChris did and fixed the words to what is in bold. The only two parts I'm not completely certain on are "room as cold as ice" and "poked an eye". I've listened to this over and over:wild::woohoo:

Al Capone
(1985, written by Michael Jackson)

Too bad, forget it
Coz it's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
Cause a mad man's out tonight

(Hee Hee Hee Hee)
(Hoo)

I hear SAD in that chorus.
 
In POF, I think he says ''I'm dwellin' in my pain, so don't be feelin' no pain''. I think that makes sense.

"Dwelling" would indeed make sense and it sounds very close, but I think not exactly. The vowel sounds more as in the word "out" and not as in "pet" (for example). This is why most people thought "down". But the verse contains a verb (I'm _____ing in my pain), you can clearly hear the -ing ending if you slow it down. And provided that Michael a lot of times completely misses the "r" in "dr-" or "tr-" sounds when he sings fast or gritty vocals (listen for example the live APOM --> "truth" = "tut" and "through" = "to") then I really feel that what he says is "drowning". Which also makes perfect sense.
 
My take on Don't be messin' around:


Are you ready for a feel good time my love
Are you ready for a real good treat
There'll be so much dancing, singing and fun
Are you ???? what's happening to me

Have you started ???????? did you set this feeling into your crown
I'll be so proud if you let me know you girl
Let me love you for a little while my star

Now she started finger popping to the beat
So I said let's groove out on my floor
She said keep your mind on dancing won't be no romancing
No, no, don't mess around with me, I ain't playing
 
Damn, really want the 100% correct al capone lyrics... Just read through yours Chris while listening to the song, and so much of it doesn't fit and make sense. I can't make out a lot of it either, I'm just saying.

Me too, I really wanted the Al Capone lyrics. It's a pity we don't have the acapella, it would be a bit easier.

So what is your version of it?
 
I haven't really written it down yet, because every time I listen to it for fun, there are words, I can not make out at all.
 
My take on Abortion Papers:


  1. Sister don't read so she'll never know
    What about love, living a Christian soul
    What do we get, She runs away
    What about love, What about all I pray

    Don't know the words
    She knows the bead
    What about God, Living is all I see
    What do you get, Things she would say
    What about love, That's all I pray

    Those Abortion papers
    Signing your name against the word of god
    Those Abortion papers
    Think about life, I'd like to have my child

    Sister confused, She went alone
    What about love, What about all I saw
    Biding her time, Reading the words
    Singing a song, Reciting a bible verse

    All those confused, a mothers despair
    Brothers encourage, What about all I see
    You know they die, You came along
    What about heart, That's all I know

    Those Abortion papers
    Signing your name against the word of God
    Those Abortion papers
    Think about life, I'd like to have my child

    Those Abortion papers (Aow!)
    Signing your name against the word of God
    Those Abortion papers
    Think about life, I'd like to have my child

    Look at my word, What do they say
    Look at my heart burning is all I pray
    What do you care, What do you say
    What about love, To feel my sin

    Those Abortion papers
    Signing your name against the word of god
    Those Abortion papers
    Think about life, I'd like to have my child

    Those Abortion paper (Aow!)
    Think about life, I'd like to have my child (Aow!)

    (Aow!}

    Sister don't know, Where would she go
    What about love, What about all I know

    What will you get, end up confused
    Love only say, It's just the things I do

    Those Abortion papers
    Signing your name against the word of god
    Those Abortion Papers
    Think about life, I'd like to have my child

    Those Abortion papers (Abortion paper)
    (This Paper) (Hee-Hee)
    Those Abortion papers (Hee Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
    I'd like to have my child (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)

    Those Abortion papers (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
    (Hee Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
    Those Abortion papers (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
    I'd like to have my child (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)

    Those Abortion papers (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
    (Hee-Hee Hee-Hee)



the red highlighted word is a correction from "beat" I believe he references a "bead" as in rosary beads you pray with.
 
Here are my interpretations. I use Adobe Audition to try and get acapellas out of the songs. Thanks to the original people who posted lyrics (as I have borrowed the outline of the songs).

Don't Be Messing 'Round


Are you ready for a real good time, my love
Are you ready for a real good treat
There will be so much dancing singing ?ever?
Do you care what's happening to me

So don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey Hey

So Don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey

On a star lit night you can feel me?
You can sense when an angel cries
I'll be so proud if you let me know you girl
Let me love you for a little while my star

Don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey Hey

So don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey

Now she started fingerpopping to the beat
So I said let's go out right out on the floor
She said to keep your mind on dancing, won't be no romancing
No No, don't mess around with me
I ain't playing

Don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey Hey

So don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey Hey (Yeah)

So don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me) (Da) (Da) (Da)
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey Hey (Da) (Da)

So don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey Hey (Yeeah)

So don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey Hey

So don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round with me, Hey Hey

I'm So Blue

There we are as cold as ice
Asking me to love you
And often be your friend

There you are, I walk along
Telling me to love you

Here I am so all alone
And I am so sad and lonely
Tell me what will I do

I can't bear, I'm holding on
You don't seem to love me
I feel I am your fool

They told me you should sing a song
Of happy when your feelin' blue
I've been singing for so very long
Still I'm crying, tell me what should I do

Shada dada dada daa
Shada dada dada daa
Come on set me free

Price Of Fame


I took my baby on a river boat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited about the way the things could have been
She said I don't care

I want a face no one can recognize, in disguise
Someone called out my name
They started taking pictures, autographs, then they grabbed
My joy had turned to pain

Father always told me
You won't live a quiet life
If you're reaching for fortune and fame
I feel the pressure setting in
I'm living just to win
I'm down in my pain
Don't you feeling no pain?

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feeling no pain
It's the price of fame
It's the price of fame
So don't you ever complain

I am a cover of a magazine, what a scene
They know my every do's
Just sign your name on the dotted line, you'll be fine
That always bothers me

Get in your car, you wanna take a ride, look behind
Someone is following you
You try to get away you turn real fast, but too bad
They know your every move

Father always told me
You won't live a quiet life
If you're reaching for fortune and fame
And I feel the pressure setting in
I'm living just to win
I feeling all this pain
Don't you ever complain

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' no pain

It's the price of fame (Price of fame)
You pay the price of fame (Price of fame)
Father never lies
My father never lies (Price of fame)
My father never lies (Price of fame)
So don't be feelin' this way, boy

I like to take sometime and get away, then they say
Is that boy still alive
The weak that really started taking pills, what a thrill
Only the strong survive

Father always told me
You won't live a quiet life
They start to wondering where have you been
I feel the envious look at me
Their mistaken jealousy
And then stand here in my shoes
And get a taste of my blues

It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' this way

You pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
In the price of fame (Price of fame)
You pay the price of fame (Price of fame)

My father never lies (Price of fame)
My father never lies, baby
My father never lies (Price of fame)
So don't be feelin' no pain, boy

Al Capone

Why did you let him get away
After the scaring what you say
Shooting in town and cold as ice
Scream in my face then don't give a

He shot at us, fired down the street
No one had tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get her

Too bad, forget it
Cause it's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
Cause a mad man's out tonight

Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her 'bout us
No more sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way

Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her 'bout us
No more sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way

Why did you let him get away
After the scaring what you say
Shooting in town and cold as ice
Scream in my face then don't give a

He shot at us, fired down the street
No one had tried to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get her

Too bad, forget it
Cause it's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
And I told her out tonight

Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her 'bout us
No more sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way

Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her 'bout us
No more sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way

Too bad, forget it
Cause it's Al Capone who's in it
So sad, regret it
Cause a man is out tonight

Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her 'bout us
No more sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way

Should have told her
Nobody ever showed her 'bout us
No more sleeping
Nobody should be grieving this way

Should have told her (Should have told her)
Nobody ever showed her 'bout us (about us)
No more sleeping (no more sleeping)
Nobody should be grieving this way (???)

Should have told her (Should have told her)
Nobody ever showed her 'bout us (about us)
No more sleeping (no more sleep)
Nobody should be grieving this way (Aow!)

Why did you let him get away
After the scaring what you say
Shooting in town and cold as ice
Scream in my face then don't give a

He shot at us, fired down the street
Noone had tried get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get away

NOTE: Sleeping could be screaming

Hey MLVD, thanks for sharing :)

From Al Capone.... You say this:

Why did you let him get away
After the scaring what you say
Shooting in town and cold as ice
Scream in my face then don't give a

But this is what I hear in the bold red part. It sounds to me like MJ is saying:

After the staring what ja (as in, 'what did you') say
"Treating me bold and cold as ice"


I agree with the "scream in my face" part but I'm still trying to figure out what comes after that.


Whewooooo! :listeningtomusic: *jammin'.....bobbin' ma head*
 
NOTE- Edited to add more songs below

Here's what I got for Fly Away. It's not the same as Rebbie's version. I have a good ear for lyrics, but I think the greater part is patience and perseverance. It's just like when Michael would learn a dance move, he'd work on it 1000 times in a row.

Our love's an ocean
Give me an ocean cause
You know I'll never part our love goodbye
I’ll love in season
Give me a reason 'cause
You know I'll never part our love goodbye
And together we'll fly
I'll give you my heart
There's no place too far for us
We don't need e’er go
Our love's an ocean
Give me an ocean 'cause
You know I'll never part, our love could not
I’ll love in season
Give me a reason 'cause
You know I'll never part, our love couldn’t part
And together we'll fly
I'll give you my heart
No place too far for us
We don't need it
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me fly away
Gonna stay, love today
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me fly away
Gonna stay and love today

I love that notion
Gimme a potion 'cause
You know I'll never seek a thing we’re seein’
Our love a reason
Give me the choosin' 'cause
You know I'll never part our love somehow

And together we'll fly
I'll give you my heart (I’d give you my heart)
No place too far for us
We don't need it
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me fly away
Gonna stay and love today
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me fly away
Gonna stay and love today
Love is here to stay

A love to last
I'd give you my heart (I'd give you my heart)
There's no place too far for us
We don't need that
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me fly away
Gonna stay, love today
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me fly away
Gonna stay, love today
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me fly away
Gonna stay, love today
(I love you, I love you, love you, love you, cannot make me fly away, fly away)
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me
Baby don't make me fly away
Gonna stay, love today

--

I might as well go ahead and post my interpretations of the others. These are interpretations based on what it sounds like he's saying and what might fit there. As everyone else has, I leave it to you all to judge what the final version would be.


DON'T BE MESSIN' 'ROUND

Are you ready for a feel good time, my love
Are you ready for a real good treat
There'll be so much

All you girls followin' unto me

Don't be messin' 'round (you hear, hey hey)

So don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round (you hear, hey)

Don't you start it, not a good thing to do

I'll be so proud if you let me know it, girl
Let me love you for a little while, my style

Don't be messin' 'round
Don't be messin' 'round (you hear, hey hey)

Don't be messin' 'round (with me)
Don't be messin' 'round (with me, hey hey)

This is the fade...


I'M SO BLUE

There we are, as cold as ice
Asking me to love you
And often be your friend
There you are, I walk alone
Telling me to love you
And often be your end

She told me she'd given me
A lifetime love forever true
But she left me for another man
And I'm singin' to keep from feelin' blue

All I know is
Ja da da da da d'n da (Hold on)
Ja da da da da d'n da (Well)
Ja da da da da d'n da
Come on, set me free (Set me free, ooh)

Here I am, so all alone
And I'm so sad and lonely
Tell me what will I do
I can't appeal, I'm holdin' on
An outcome sayin' to love be
I feel I am your fool

They told me you should sing a song
Of happy when you're feelin' blue
I've been singin' for so very long
Still, I'm cryin'
Tell me what should I do

All I know is
Ja da da da da d'n da (Hold on)
Ja da da da da d'n da (Yeah)
Ja da da da da d'n da
Come on, set me free (Set me free, ooh)

She told me she'd given me
A lifetime love so guaranteed (guaranteed)
Then she left me for another man
And I'm singin', cryin' helplessly

But I'll keep singin'
Ja da da da da d'n da (Hold on)
Ja da da da da d'n da (All my life)
Ja da da da da d'n da
Come on, set me free (Set me free)

Whoa (Talk about my life)
Ja da da da da d'n da (And I'll keep crying)
Ja da da da da d'n da (That someone, can it be)
Ja da da da da d'n da (Hol' on, hol' on)
Come on, set me free (Set me free)

All I know is
Ja da da da da d'n da (Whoa, whoa)
Ja da da da da d'n da (All my life, I know)
Ja da da da da d'n da
Come on, set me free (Set me free)


SONG GROOVE A/K/A ABORTION PAPERS

Sister don't read/She'll never know
What about love/Living our Christian song
What do we get if she runs away
What about love/What about all I pray
Who’ll through the worst she knows/A thief
What if I die living/As don’t I see
What fool/You can think she will say
What about love/That's all I pray

Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the Word of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I'd like to have my child

Sister confused/She wandered off
What about love/What about "all thy soul"
Biding her time/Reading the words
Singing of song/Reciting a Bible verse
Father's confused/Mother's despair
Brothers, encourage/What about all I say
You know the time you gave her love
What about heart/That soul I've known

Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the Word of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I'd like to have my child
Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the Word of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I'd like to have my child

Look at my world/What do they say
Look at my heart burning/That's all I pray
What do you care/What do you say
What about love to feel my sin

Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the Word of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I'd like to have my child
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I'd like to have my child

You have the grade book
Where will she go
What will she do
To eat/For work

Sister don't know/Where will she go
What about love/What about all I stole
What will you give/When I'm confused
Love only this/It's just the things I do

Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the Word of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I'd like to have my child
Those abortion papers ('bortion papers, 'tion paper, hee hee...)
Those abortion papers
I'd like to have my child
Those abortion papers
Those abortion papers
I'd like to have my child


FREE

You're the one that I adore
You kissed me once and don't ignore me
Tell me things, you offerin’ me "I do"
All the things I want to say, and
Tell me things you are, that may, and
All the lives you had
This ain't "I do"
Ooh, ooh, ooh baby
Yesterday is when I fell down and you
Came with my head stuck in pain on the ground and you
Helped to save the life in me
All this ain't "I do"

That's why I want to be
Free, free like the wind blow
To fly away just like the sparrow
The feel of letting my hair blow
Just take my time wherever I go
I, me, mine

You're the one that I adore
Just kiss me once I won't ignore you
Feel our fire that I can feel in mind

If you are the one for me
Just tell me twice and I will see
The heart and soul of all the things I feel
Ooh, ooh, ooh, no
Yesterday when I fell down a star
Tryin' to make the first thing
That I was around you know
Life is just a thing you don't pass the way I do
Ah, oh, babe

Cause I want to be
Free, free like the wind blow
To fly away just like the sparrow
The feel of letting my hair blow
To take my time wherever I go
I want to be
Free, free like the wind blow
To fly away just like a sparrow
The feel of letting my hair blow
To take my time wherever I go
I, me, mine

Babe, alright, uh huh
Alright, uh, uh, oh yeah, yeah

Yesterday was when I fell down my star
Tryin' to make sense of it
I'm walkin' around your star
Tryin' to make a way to say
Why does think "I do"
You are you (Um-hmm, um-hmm, um-hmm)

Cause I want to be
Free, free like the wind blow
To fly away just like the sparrow
The feel of letting my hair blow
To take my time wherever I go
I want to be
Free, free like the wind blow (Like the wind, babe)
To fly away just like the sparrow (Wherever I go)
The feel of letting my hair blow (And I'll take my time, baby)
To take my time wherever I go (Take my time wherever I go)
I want to be
Free, free like the wind blow (Free, like the wind)
To fly away just like the sparrow (All in my mind)
The feel of letting my hair blow (Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, babe)
To take my time wherever I go (Wherever I go)
Free, free like the wind blow (To be free, I want to be free)
To fly away just like the sparrow (I got to be free, babe, I want to be me)
The feel of letting my hair blow (Ah, ah, oh, oh, baby)
To take my time wherever I go (Wherever I go, ooh)

Got to be free, babe


PRICE OF FAME

I took my baby on a river boat cruise
And she was well aware
I was excited 'bout the way that things could have been
She said that I don't care
I wore a face no one could recognize (in disguise)
Someone called out my name
They started takin' pictures, autographs can we have
My joy had turned to pain

Father always told me you won't live a quiet life
If you're reachin' for fortune and fame
I feel the pressure settin' in
I'm livin' just to win
I'm dullin' in my pain
Don't be feelin' no pain

It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' no pain
It's the price of fame, it's the price of fame
So don't you ever complain

I am a cover of a magazine (what a scene)
They know my every news
Just sign your name on the dotted line (you'll be fine)
That always bothers me
Get in your car, you wanna take a ride (look behind)
Someone is followin' you
You try to get away, you turn real fast (but too bad)
They know your every move

My father always told me you won't live a quiet life
If you're reachin' for fortune and fame
And I feel the pressure settin' in
I'm livin' just to win
I'm feelin' all this pain
Don't you ever complain

It's the price of fame, you pay the price for fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame, you pay the price for fame
So don't be feelin' no pain
It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame

Father never lies (Price of fame)
My father never lies
My father never lies (Price of fame)
So don't be feeling this way, boy

I'd like to take some time, then get away (Then they say)
Is that boy still alive
The Weekday Village, "started taking pills" (What a deal)
Only the strong survive

My father always told me you won't live the quiet life
They start to wondering where have you been
I feel the envious look at me
But mistaken jealousy
And then stand here in my shoes
And get a taste of my blues

It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame, you pay the price for fame
So don't be feelin' this way
It's the price of fame, you pay the price for fame
So don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame

My father never lies (Price of fame)
My father never lies, baby
My father never lies (Price of fame)
So don't be feelin' no pain, boy


AL CAPONE

Why did you let him get away
After the staring, what did she say
Soon to be bathing cold as ice
Scream, then my fist then pull your knife
She'll shout there's fire and I'll reach in
Knowing my job, he’ll get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get a-

Too bad, forget it
Cause as Al Capone presented,
So sad, regret it

Cause the man meant (madman’s), out tonight

You shouldn't have told her
Nobody ever showed her
Bodies
And no one's deep in
Nobody should be grieved
In this way
You shouldn't have told her
Nobody ever showed her
Bodies
And no one's deep in
Nobody should be grieved
In this way

Why did you let him get away
After the staring, what did she say
She’s to be bathing cold as ice
Scream, then my fist then pull your knife
She'd shout there's fire and I'll reach in
Know it’s my job to get revenge
Why did you let him get away
Why did you let him get a-

Too bad, forget it
Cause as Al Capone presented,
So sad, regret it

And I told her out tonight

You shouldn't have told her
Nobody ever showed her
Bodies
And no one's deep in
Nobody should be grieved
In this way
You shouldn't have told her
Nobody ever showed her
Bodies
And no one's deep in
Nobody should be grieved
In this way

Too bad, forget it
Cause as Al Capone presented,
So sad, regret it

Cause a man is out tonight

You shouldn't have told her
Nobody ever showed her
Bodies
And no one's deep in
Nobody should be grieved
In this way
You shouldn't have told her
Nobody ever showed her
Bodies
And no one's deep in
Nobody should be breathin'
This way

You shouldn't have told her
(Shouldn't have told her)
Nobody ever showed her
(Oh my God)
Bodies
And no one's deep in
(No one's lovin')
Nobody should be grieved
(Oh my God)
In this way
You shouldn't have told her
(Shouldn't have told her)
Nobody ever showed her
(Oh my God)
Bodies
And no one's deep in
(No one's lovin')
Nobody should be grieved
(Ooh)
In this way

Why did you let him get away
After the staring, what did she say
She's gon' be bathing cold as ice
Scream, then my fist and pull your knife
She'd shout there's fire and I'll reach in
Knowing my job, they’ll get revenge
How could you let him get away
Why did you let him get away

this is what a hear on Al Capone:


Why did you let him get away?
After the staring, what did you say?
Shot me down as cold as ice
Screamed in my face then poked a knife
She should have skinned down his skin
Now it's my job to get revenge
Why did you let him get away?
Why did you let him get her?
