Michael Jackson – Leave Me Alone

I don't care what you talkin' 'bout baby
I don't care what you say
Don't you come walkin' beggin' back mama
I don't care anyway
Dime after dime, I gave you all of my money
No excuses to make
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb baby
All is going my way

'Cause there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight
Who's laughing baby, don't you know
And there's the choice that we make
And this choice you will take
Who's laughin' baby?

So just leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone) stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around

There was a time I used to say, "Girl I need you"
But who is sorry now?
You really hurt, you used to take and deceive me
Now who is sorry now?
You got a way of making me feel so sorry
I found out right away
Don't you come walkin', beggin', I ain't lovin' you
Don't you get in my way

'Cause there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight
Who's laughing baby, don't you know
And there's the choice that we make
And this choice you will take
Who's laughin' baby?

So just leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone) stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around

'Cause there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight
Who's laughing baby, don't you know, girl
And there's the choice that we make (that we make, and, that we make, and)
And this choice you will take
Who's laughin' baby?

So just leave me alone, girl
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone) stop it!
Just stop doggin' me

Leave me alone (leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone (leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone (leave me alone) stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around

Don't come beggin' me
Don't come beggin'
Don't come lovin' me
Don't come beggin'
I love you
I don't want it
I don't, I don't, I don't, I
Don't
Don't come beggin' me
Don't come beggin'
Don't come lovin' me
Don't come beggin'

    General Commentlegend! this song is phenomenal! the video is great too, i love the way he makes himself into a theme park and includes the press while telling them to politely fuck off, and also that he is noy listening even though the paparazzi is extremely annoying and intrusive. I also feel that we as an audience made Micheal into the wierdo that he turned into we took bits and pieces off him and ripped it apart, he never disserved the attention we gave him especially with the charges of pedofilia which proved him to be innocent and

    My InterpretationMichael said this song is about the relationship between a man and a woman. But he also said it sends a clear message to the people who are bothering him.

    The video is really unrelated to the lyrics because he didn't give the press all of his money. lol He must have experienced a painful relationship that inspired this song. The woman apparently uses him for his money and is deceitful but she keeps begging to come back to him. I like the last verse where he's telling her to not come back begging while at the same time proclaiming that he loves her. He's conflicted. I love this song.
