Do You Know This Song?

[Joyce]

I was watching a promo video of MJ in Japan and heard a song playing in the background that I have never heard before. I searched and found a song entitled "Walk Right Now" by MJ and this seems to be the song I'm hearing in the background. It is an interesting song. Does anyone know when it was written? (Link to video & lyrics are below)

Walk Right Now lyrics:

Here, when all my work is done
She calls and she says, dear, can I come?
I say to her, that you know our love has gone
But aggressive heart, you're really not the one
She comes to the door, crying at my feet
Guilt shines in her eyes
As she slowly sinks in deep
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep
I sigh, 'cause I thought this would never be
I say ooh, I'm screamin' out for someone
And now she's knockin' on the door for me
She just won't leave me alone
She wants to speak with me
And persuade me in her arms
And how she's callin' on the phone for me
Just won't leave me alone
Deep down inside she's trying to be clever,
To love once more then leave me forever
I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I try so hard to cope with you
I can't bear with the things you put me through
To love as friends, I wish that we could see
But persuasive heart, you just won't
let pure friendship be
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'

I actually discovered this song a few days ago and I love it!!!
That's what I found in wikipedia:

"Walk Right Now" is a 1981 song written, produced and performed by The Jacksons and issued as the fourth and final single from the group's popular album, Triumph.
The song was written by Jackie Jackson, Michael Jackson and Randy Jackson and was a song in which a man was fed up with his lover's excuses about how they can resolve their relationship despite the woman's acts of infidelity towards him therefore delivering the message, "walk right now/I'm not playing" in a chant-like phrase.
When released, the song performed only modestly on US pop radio peaking at a number seventy-three but the song became a hit in the UK where it peaked at number seven on the UK pop charts.

Thanks so much. I thought maybe it may have been written later than that. I like the beat of the song and the lyrics seem to fit MJs life at times. Have a great day.

Have you guys been living under a rock?

Do you not own Triumph? It's a fantastic Jacksons album and might as well be a solo record. I would actually go as far as saying that it's better than Off The Wall and a close second to Thriller.

Your MJ collection isn't complete until you own Destiny and Triumph.
