[1st Verse - Jermine Jackson:] It was on a street so evil So bad that even hell disowned it Every single step was trouble For the fool who stumbled on it Eyes within the dark were watching I felt the sudden chill of danger Something told me keep on walking Told me I should not have come there
[Chorus - The Jacksons:] Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife Without your love in my life Alone I walk in the night 'Cause I just can't stop this feelin' It's torture It's torture It's torture
[2nd Verse - Michael Jackson:] She was up a stair to nowhere A room forever I'll remember She stared as though I should have known her Tell me what's your pain or pleasure Every little thing you find here Is simply for the thrill you're after Loneliness or hearts of fire I am here to serve all masters
[Chorus - The Jacksons:] She said reality is a knife When there's no love in your life And merciful is the night When you just can't stop this feeling It's torture It's torture It's torture
[Bridge - Jermine Jackson:] And I still can't find the meaning, no no no Of the face I keep on seeing Was she real or am I dreaming
[Michael Jackson:] Did the sound of your name Turn a wheel, start the flame in me
