NEGA MALUCA

Tava jogando sinuca
Uma nega maluca
Me apareceu
Vinha com um filho no colo
E dizia pro povo
Que o filho era meu

BILLIE JEAN

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said don't mind, but what do mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round

She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me: be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts

And mother always told me: be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do cCause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand

Her schemes and plans

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

She told my baby we’d danced ‘till three
Then she looked at me

She showed a photo of a baby crying

His eyes would like mine

Go on dance on the floor in the round, baby

(oh, no!)

People always told me be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room

ELEONOR RIGBY

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
