Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' lyrics

[Chorus]

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]

I took my baby to the doctor with a fever

But nothing he found

By the time this hit the street

They said she had a breakdown

Someone's always tryin'

To start my baby cryin'

Talkin', squealin', lyin'

Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'

[Chorus]

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]

You love to pretend that you're good

When you're always up to no good

You really can't make him hate her

So your tongue became a razor

Someone's always tryin'

To keep my baby cryin'

Treacherous, cunnin', declinin'

You got my baby cryin'

[Chorus]

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

Still they hate you (Still they hate you)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

You're just a buffet (You're just a buffet)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

They eat off of you (They eat off of you)

You're a vegetable

[Verse 3]

Billie Jean is always talking when nobody else is talkin'

Tellin' lies and rubbin' shoulders

So they called her mouth a motor

Someone's always tryin'

To start my baby cryin'

Talkin', squealin', spyin'

Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'

[Chorus]

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

Still they hate you (Still they hate you)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

You're just a buffet (You're just a buffet)

You're a vegetable (You're a vegetable)

They eat off of you (They eat off of you)

You're a vegetable

[Verse 4]

If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah)

Then don't have a baby (yeah, yeah)

And don't think maybe (yeah, yeah)

If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah)

You'll be always tryin'

To stop that child from cryin'

Hustlin', stealin', lyin'

Now baby's slowly dyin'

[Chorus]

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

You're too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

Lift your head up high and scream out to the world

"I know I am someone," and let the truth unfurl

No one can hurt you now because you know what's true

Yes, I believe in me, so do believe in you

[Outro]

Help me sing it

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa

Help me sing it babe

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa

Sing it to the world, sing it out loud

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa

Mama-say, mama-sa, ma-ma-ko-ssa
