Bless His Soul Lyrics
I try to do what's right for me
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
Sometimes I cry 'cause I'm confused
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
'Cause I give myself at beck and call
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
The life your leading is so dangerous
It's so dangerous, dangerous all
The life your leading is so dangerous
Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous
Somethings soon to come over you
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
Then you should bless his soul
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you've pleased none
But no one sees the way I see
And then I try to please them so
But how far can this pleasing go
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
Is this a fact of being used
There is no life for me at all
'Cause I give myself at beck and call
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
If I were you, I'd change my mind
And start living for me in these changing times
It's so dangerous, dangerous all
The life your leading is so dangerous
Doggone dangerous, dangerous, dangerous
You just can't please the world and yourself
You gotta start doing whats right for you
'Cause life is being happy yourself
It's hard to find
A person like you
You're one of a kind
People will cry
If rain or sun
Try to please all
And you've pleased none

I don't recall if MJ and his bros wrote this one, but the lyrics appear to be very autobiographical. My favorite part is when Michael starts singing the line, "The life you're living is dangerous..." and on. It's ironic how he predicted his own future problem of being estranged from others because of his lifestyle and quite sad. Then again, if it was written by someone else, it's doubly ironic.
