When You Go Lyrics
There's so much to offer
So much to throw away
The ever-present darker side
Is making you color blind
But luckily, my blinded one
I know you and not what you've done
Not what you've done
(chorus)
You beautiful soul
When you go, a feeling that chokes
When you go, a fever that soaks
When you go, you go away into the unknown
When you go, you break my heart
Don't you go
Cuz it chokes
It chokes
Given all, you are inside a shaft of light that you can't hide
But an idle mind will dominate and feed all the demons steak
Whewn you walk around that old street
Where you lived and who you were then
You can have it again
(chorus 2 x)
Everything's not broke
When you go, a feeling that chokes
When you go, a fever that soaks
When you go, you go away into the unknown
When you go, you break my heart
Don't you go
Cuz it chokes
It chokes
It's a fever that soaks
You go away
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
When you go, you break my heart
Don't you go
Yeah
Cuz it chokes
It chokes
So much to throw away
The ever-present darker side
Is making you color blind
But luckily, my blinded one
I know you and not what you've done
Not what you've done
You beautiful soul
When you go, a feeling that chokes
When you go, a fever that soaks
When you go, you go away into the unknown
When you go, you break my heart
Don't you go
Cuz it chokes
It chokes
But an idle mind will dominate and feed all the demons steak
Whewn you walk around that old street
Where you lived and who you were then
You can have it again
Everything's not broke
When you go, a feeling that chokes
When you go, a fever that soaks
When you go, you go away into the unknown
When you go, you break my heart
Don't you go
Cuz it chokes
It chokes
You go away
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
When you go, you break my heart
Don't you go
Yeah
Cuz it chokes
It chokes

This song was written by LM and Anthony Penaloza. I can guarantee it is NOT about Michael Jackson. She would not have referred to him as a "beautiful soul" because he wasn't, and she knew he was using her.
Like many of her songs, I think it's about Michael Jackson, this time about his drug dependency.
Agree it is about MJ. In 2003, MJ went to Gary, Indiana and literally walked down his old Street to visit his childhood home. A real life walking down memory lane for him. She writes "When you walk around that old street.... Where you lived and who you were then... You can have it again".
