  • 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'

    I love you
    I don't want it
    I don't need it
    I don't Writer/s: Michael Jackson

  • Lilly from CaliforniaIt about how the press is always in his business is whhy its shown on newspapers and him saying ''leave me alone''. because the tabloid's always made up lies about him.
  • Daphne from Memphis,tnLinc-Beaumont,TX yep Michael is making fun of himself.
