Ghost
Michael Jackson - Blood On The Dance Floor / HIStory In The Mix

There’s a ghost down in the hall

There’s a ghoul upon the bed

There’s something in the walls

There’s blood up on the stairs

And it’s floating through the room

And there’s nothing I can see

And I know that that’s the truth

Because now it’s onto me

I don’t understand it

Hey

I don’t understand it!

Ow

There’s a tappin’ in the floor

There’s a creak behind the door

There’s a rocking in the chair

But there’s no-one sitting there

There’s a ghostly smell around

But nobody to be found

And a coughin’ and a yawnin’

Where a restless soul is going

Don’t understand it

Hey!

Don’t understand it

Hey

And who gave you the right to shake my family?

And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

You put a knife in my back

Shot an arrow in me!

Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

The ghost of jealousy

There’s a tappin in the floor

There’s a creak behind the door

There’s a rocking in the chair

But nobody’s sitting there

There’s a ghostly smell around

But nobody to be found

And a coughin’ and a yawnin’

Where a restless soul is going

Don’t understand it!

Yeah Yeah!

Don’t understand it!

Your just a dog gone!

Ow!

And who gave you the right to scare my family?

And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

And who gave you the right to take intrusion, to see me?

And who gave you the right to shake my family?

And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

You put a knife in my back,

Shot an arrow in me!

Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

A suckin’ ghost of jealousy

Ow!

And who gave you the right to shake my family?

And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

And who gave you the right to take, intrusion to see me?

And who gave you the right to hurt my family?

And who gave you the right hurt my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?

You put a knife in my back

Shot an arrow in me!

Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

The ghost of jealousy

Ow

Dog gone

But there’s no doubt about it, piece of mind

Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
