We found each other
I helped you out of a broken place
You gave me comfort
But falling for you was my mistake
I put you on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me
So call out my name (call out my name)
Call out my name when I kiss you so gently
I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
I want you to stay, even though you dont want me
Girl, why cant you wait? (Why cant you wait, baby?)
Girl, why cant you wait til I fall out of love?
Wont you call out my name? (Call out my name)
Girl, call out my name, and Ill be on my way and
Ill be on my
I said I didnt feel nothing baby, but I lied
I almost cut a piece of myself for your life
Guess I was just another pit stop
Til you made up your mind
You just wasted my time
Youre on top, I put you on top
I claimed you so proud and openly, babe
And when times were rough, when times were rough
I made sure I held you close to me
So call out my name (call out my name, baby)
So call out my name when I kiss you
So gently, I want you to stay (I want you to stay)
I want you to stay even though you dont want me
Girl, why cant you wait? (Girl, why cant you wait til I-)
Girl, why cant you wait til I fall out of loving?
Babe, call out my name (say call out my name, baby)
Girl, call out my name, and Ill be on my way, girl
Ill be on my
On my way, all the way
On my way, all the way, ooh
On my way, on my way, on my way
On my way, on my way, on my way
(On my)
Michael Jacksons 14-minute short film «Thriller» revolutionized the music video genre forever. Hailed as the greatest music video of all time by MTV, VH1, Rolling Stone and others, «Thriller,» directed by John Landis, is also the only music video selected to be included in the Library of Congress prestigious National Film Registry.
Written by Rod Temperton
Produced by Quincy Jones for Quincy Jones Productions
From the album Thriller, released November 30, 1982
Released as a single January 23, 1984
THE SHORT FILM
Director: John Landis
Primary Production Location: Los Angeles, California
Michael Jacksons short film for «Thriller» was the third of three short films produced for recordings from Thriller, which continues its reign as the biggest selling album of all time with worldwide sales in excess of 105 million as of June 1, 2016 and in December 2015 became the first ever album to be awarded triple diamond status (i.e.: sales in excess of 30 million) by the RIAA for US sales alone. The «Thriller» single reached No. 1 in four countries in 1984, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart as well as charts in Spain, France and Belgium. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Thriller the first album to feature seven Top 10 singles. The Recording Industry Association of America certified «Thriller» Gold and Platinum on December 4, 1989.
The groundbreaking short films for the Thriller album, starting with «Billie Jean,» following up with «Beat It» and culminating with the epic, nearly 14-minute «Thriller,» truly expanded the possibilities of «music video» as art form. «I wanted something that would glue you to the set, something youd want to watch over and over,» Michael wrote in his 1988 memoir Moonwalk. «I wanted to be a pioneer in this relatively new medium and make the best short music movies we could make.»
In the short films extended prologue, Michaels moonlit date with his girlfriend (played by model Ola Ray) is interrupted by his sudden transformation into a howling werewolf. While the «real» Michael and Ola, observing the scene in a movie theater, walk home from the their date, Michael teases her by singing the verses of «Thriller.»
Lyrics:
Its close to midnight
Something evils lurking from the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between your eyes
Youre paralyzed
Cause this is thriller
Thriller night
And no ones gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
You know its thriller
Thriller night
Youre fighting for your life
Inside a killer thriller tonight, yeah
starring Joaquin Phoenix from the movie JOKER 2019

[Intro]
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?
[Verse 1]
Yo! His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Theres vomit on his sweater already: Moms spaghetti
Hes nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words wont come out
Hes choking, how? Everybodys joking now
The clocks run out, times up, over—blaow!
Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
There goes Rabbit, he choked, hes so mad but he wont
Give up that easy, no, he wont have it, he knows
His whole backs to these ropes, it dont matter, hes dope
He knows that but hes broke, hes so stagnant, he knows
When he goes back to this mobile home, thats when its
Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
Better go capture this moment and hope it dont pass him, and
[Chorus]
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better…
[Verse 2]
His souls escaping through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
As we move toward a New World Order
A normal life is boring; but superstardoms
Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
Homie grows hotter, he blows, its all over
These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows
Hes known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads
God only knows, hes grown farther from home, hes no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose, cause here goes the cold water
These hoes dont want him no mo, hes cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose its old, partner
But the beat goes on: da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah, dah-dah
[Chorus]
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better…
[Verse 3]
No more games, Ima change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckin roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin in the beginning, the mood all changed
Ive been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebodys payin the Pied Piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I cant get by with my nine-to-
Five and I cant provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddamn food stamps dont buy diapers
And theres no movie, theres no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and its gettin even harder
Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama, screamin on her, too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotonys
Gotten me to the point Im like a snail, Ive got
To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckin option—failures not
Mom, I love you, but this trailers got
To go; I cannot grow old in Salems Lot
So here I go, its my shot: feet, fail me not
This may be the only opportunity that I got
[Chorus]
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better…
[Outro]
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
