A brief history

“What A Lovely Way To Go” was originally written by Michael in the late 1970s. He revisited it while he was writing songs for the “Thriller” album but it didn’t make the album and wasn’t something the public heard until it was included on “Thriller 40” in 2022.

Give me some lovin’, and I wanna make it
Everything I do
I know my darling’s a dreamer
And I wanna say that life is here for you

But I don’t need the right to know
Everything you do
I don’t need the right to show
But feel…
Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Oh!

Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
He was gettin’ it down (Yeah!)
Talkin’ in threes (Hi!)
Hurtin’ my mind, but my power was to feel
Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
He was gettin’ it down (Yeah)
Talkin’ in threes (Woah!)
Hurtin’ my mind, but my power was feel

Heard you woe a loser
But it seems you that don’t know the things I know
And if you are believing don’t repent that you will
Know where I go

But I don’t need the right to know
Everything she does
But she don’t need the need to show
But feel

Everybody (Yeah!)
Everybody (Yeah!)

Hurtin’ my mind, but my power was to feel
Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
He was gettin’ it down (Alright!)
Talkin’ in threes (Okay)
Hurtin’ my mind, but my power was to feel

Hooh!
Hooh!

Gimme a chance babe!
Just to see you smile! (Hoo hoo hoo!)
Gimme a chance babe!

And I’ll make it easy for you (Easy for you)

I heard you woe a loser
But don’t say that you must get all the time (Hurt so many times)
And don’t be just pretending that it’s all knowing
Love is here inside

But I don’t need the right to know (Don’t need)
Everything she does (C’mon girl)
But give me time and I will show (Hee)
To everybody

Everybody (Yeah!)
Everybody (Woah!)

Oh!

Oh what a lovely way to go
Never let your feelings show
I start cutting it down (Alright!)
Talkin’ in threes (Yeah!)
Hurtin’ my mind, but my power was to feel

Oh what a lovely way to go (Hee hee!)
Never let your feelings show (Aaaow!)
