Throwing Your Life Away (Michael Jackson) - 3:51

Cette démo date du début de l’année 1988 et non prévu pour l’album BAD malgré un son qui peut rappeler les productions de cet album. La programmation des synthétiseurs est assez lourd avec une basse importante avec une voix grave de la part de Michael Jackson. Sur le refrain, les claviers de John Barnes "sifflent" alors que sur le pont apportent une certaine puissance.

 

[Verse 1]
I was young and loved to fight
I was never wrong but always right, yeah
Blame it on me
I was young and hurt before
And I’m gonna lay it down and make sure, yeah
Blame it on me
I’ll plant my foot down
Got my choice but I wanna go home
Blame it on me
Life’s sweet and life’s fair
Got my stuff but I shouldn’t be laughing
Blame it on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I must find
There’s no love in my life
Don’t be

[Chorus]
Throwing your life away
Throwing your life away (Oh!)
Don't you find it so easy to just say no?
(To just say no)

[Verse 2]
I was living high and low
Got my place and got my soul
Blame it on me
I feelin' hunger
Got my stuff cause I got your heart
Blame it on me
I’ll see you doing bad
And I don’t got the time when I got my past
Blame it on me
I'll see you getting back
Got my stuff cause I'm on your side
Blame it on me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I must find
There’s no love in my life
Don’t be

[Chorus]
Throwing your life away
Throwing your life away (Oh!)
Don't you find it so easy to just say no?
(To just say no)
Throwing your life away
Throwing your life away (Oh!)
Don't you find it so easy to just say no?
(To just say no)
Oh!
Da-da-doo
Da-da-do-da-da-da

[Bridge]
They're listening
Someone said they're listening
Someone said they're listening
Someone said they're listening
Now I must find
Nothing's gonna stop

[Chorus]
Throwing your life away
Throwing your life away (Oh!)
(I love you) (Hee!)

[Outro]
Don't you find it so easy to just say no?
(To just say no)

Don't you find it so easy to just say no?
(To just say no)
