To everyone interested after 23 years:
The currently spreading file is of low quality and doesn't do the song justice.
Michael Prince has NOT worked on this. That's just what some folks assumed due to the fact he found it on his hard drive but he never even claimed to have worked on it. It doesn't even make any sense since Jerkins' team didn't work with MJ's famous so-called "B-Team".
The song was NOT reworked in 2004 or 2014, those are just fan assumptions.
Here are the lyrics:
Michael Jackson - Get Your Weight Off Of Me (mastered 2000/__/__ [not disclosing exact date])
(Michael Jackson, Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Daniels??, ??)
(intro 0:00 - 0:22)
(verse 1 0:23 - 1:07)
You took my heart in your hand
taught me you're not like a man
I'll never see you again (Listen!) (Dah!) (Ah!)
I was the fool you could take
another heart you can break
so let me go for my sake, baby
I'll get a message to you
you know I'll never stop tryin', baby
this will get by, baby (See?) (Dah!)
You got a lesson to learn
you only get what you earn (No, no, no)
I got this game (No, no, no, no)
and I have to go my way alone, baby (Keep on going) (Why did you do it, baby?) (Ah!)
(chorus 1:08 - 1:30)
Just get your weight off of me
Why don't you just let me be (Hee-hee)
You keep on hatin' on me (Dah!) (Mercy) (Ah!)
You just don't have what it takes (Have mercy for me)
So let me go for our sake (It's too much for me)
No more of me left to break (Ah!) (Listen!) (Ah!)
(verse 2 1:31 - 2:15)
I'm like your dog on a chain
my thoughts of you still remain
You signed the cards in your name (Listen!) (Dah!)
I got the pill you should take
or bad disease I can shake
Your every doctor's mistake, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll get a message to you
you know I'll never stop cryin', baby
this will get by, baby (This will get by, baby) (See?) (Dah!)
You got a lesson to learn
You only got what you earn
I got this game (Oh, oh, oh)
and I have to go my way alone, baby (Hoooh) (Ah!)
(chorus 2:16 - 3:00)
Just get your weight off of me (Hee-hee)
Why don't you just let me be (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
You keep on hatin' on me (You keep on messin' with me, baby) (Ah!)
You just don't have what it takes (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
So let me go for our sake (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
No more of me left to break (Why don't you?) (You just, you just put it) (Ah!)
Baby (Baby)
Just get your weight off of me (Just do it, baby)
Why don't you just let me be (Why don't ya, baby?) (C'mon!)
You keep on hatin' on me (I'm not satisfyin' you) (Why don't ya, baby?) (Ah!)
You just don't have what it takes (No, no, baby)
So let me go for our sake (Hoo-hoo-hoo) (Oh no)
No more of me left to break (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
(Hoo-hoo) (Aouw!)

(continues 3:24 - 3:45)
I'll get a message to you
you know I'll never stop tryin', baby
this will get by, baby (Hoaah!) (See?) (Yeah) (Dah!)
You got a lesson to learn (Hoaah)
You get respect which you earn (Hoaah)
I got this game (Oh, oh, oh)
and I got to go my way alone, baby (Hoooh-hoooh) (Ah!)
(chorus out 3:46 - 4:30)
Just get your weight off of me (Yeaaah)
Why don't you just let me be (Yeaaah)
You keep on hatin' on me (Hee) (You should just stop your messin', baby!) (Ah!)
You just don't have what it takes (Hee-hee)
So let me go for our sake (Just don't ya, baby?)
No more of me left to break (You just, you just put it) (Ah!)
Just get your weight off of me (Don't do it, baby)
Why don't you just let me be (Why don't ya, baby?)
You keep on hatin' on me (Hatin' me, baby) (Ah!)

So let me go for our sake (Oh why?) (Oh)
No more of me left to break (Mercy)
(Hoo-hoo)
(4:31 - 4:53)
(Ah!) You ain't gonna ever get out (Just get your weight off of me)
You just ain't gonna ever get out
(Ah!) You ain't gonna ever get out (Just get your weight off of me)
You just ain't gonna ever get out (Hoo-hoo)
(Ah!) You ain't gonna ever get out (Just get your weight off of me)
You just ain't gonna ever get out (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
(Ah!) You ain't gonna ever get out (Just get your weight off of me)
You just ain't gonna ever get out (Go on!) (Uuh!)
