The Way You Make Me Feel
Michael Jackson
·
19871987
Bad may not have all the timeless prestige of its predecessor, Thriller, but it’s just as full of heart and purpose. Over rockier rhythms, Jackson sounds gleeful and impassioned, whether he’s making a profound humanitarian plea (“Man in the Mirror”), raging with lust (“Dirty Diana”), or narrating a suave play-by-play (“Smooth Criminal”). And when he’s slaying the dance floor, his voice is spine-tingling—his nuanced falsetto goes from subtle to ferocious in the space of a single line—once again proving that Jackson is pop's one true master of ceremony.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Hee-hee
Ooh
G'on, girl!
Aaow!
Hee
[Verse 1]
Hey, pretty baby with the high heels on
You give me fever like I've never, ever known
You're just a product of loveliness
I like the groove of your walk, your talk, your dress
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel your fever from miles around
I'll pick you up in my car and we'll paint the town
Just kiss me, baby, and tell me twice
That you're the one for me
[Chorus]
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
You really turn me on
You really turn me on
You knock me off of my feet
You knock me off of my feet
My lonely days are gone
My lonely days are gone
Uh, uh
[Verse 2]
I like this feelin' you're givin' me
Just hold me, baby, and I'm in ecstasy
Oh, I'll be workin' from nine to five
To buy you things to keep you by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
I've never felt so in love before
Just promise, baby, you'll love me forever more
I swear I'm keepin' you satisfied
'Cause you're the one for me
[Chorus]
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
You really turn me on
You really turn me on
You knock me off of my feet now, baby
You knock me off of my feet
My lonely days are gone
My lonely days are gone
[Interlude 1]
Acha-ooh!
G'on, girl!
G'on!
Hee-hee
Aaow!
G'on, girl!
Wooh
Wooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I've never felt so in love before
Just promise, baby, you'll love me forever more
I swear I'm keepin' you satisfied
'Cause you're the one for me
[Chorus]
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
You really turn me on
You really turn me on
You knock me off of my feet now, baby (Hee!)
You knock me off of my feet
My lonely days are gone (Ah, ah)
(My lonely days are gone)
The way you make me fee-hee!
The way you make me feel
You really turn me on
You really turn me on
You knock me off of my feet now, baby (Hee!)
You knock me off of my feet
My lonely days are gone
My lonely days are gone
[Bridge]
Ain't nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business
The way you make me feel
Ain't nobody's business
Ain't nobody's business
But mine and my baby
You really turn me on
Hee-hee!
You knock me off of my feet
Hee-hee! Ooh!
My lonely days are gone
Give it to me
Give me some time
The way you make me feel
Come on, be my girl
I wanna be with mine
You really turn me on
Ain't nobody's business
You knock me off of my feet
Ain't nobody's business
But mine and my baby
G'on, girl! Aaow!
My lonely days are gone
[Interlude 2]
Hee-hee!
Hoo!
Choo-coo, choo-coo
Choo-coo, choo-coo, choo-coo
G'on, girl!
[Outro]
The way you make me feel (Hee-hee!)
(Hee-hee-hee!)
You really turn me on
You knock me off of my feet
My lonely days are gone
Give it to me
Give me some time
The way you make me feel
Come on, be my girl
I wanna be with mine
You really turn me on
Ain't nobody's business
You knock me off of my feet
Ain't nobody's business
But mine and my baby
G'on, girl!
My lonely days are gone
Give it to me
Give me some time
The way you make me feel
Come on, be my girl
I wanna be with mine
You really turn me on
Ain't nobody's business
You knock me off of my feet
