“Eaten Alive” is a Diana Ross song, which Michael provides background vocals for and at times is co-singing lead with Ross. Barry Gibb and Maurice Gibb from the Bee-Gees composed the song. But when Michael heard the demo, he suggested ways to improve the chorus both melodically and lyrically.
Animal stalking you at night
I’m a sucker for someone
And I got the prey in sight
Lying on a bed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe
Capture me, my blood is red
Another victim of your ritual
For you, my skin is shed
Ecstasy ain’t what you find
In the modern world
One flick of my tongue changes
The meaning of the world
And you say that’s impossible
That’s not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cause you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see, I don’t wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive, eaten alive
I don’t ever wanna be eaten alive
Now I got you on the run
The quicker my senses
And the chance is, I’m the faster one
I know the universal law
Primeval times with a little stimulation
It’ll come once more
And you say that’s impossible
It’s not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cause you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see, I don’t wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive, eaten alive
I don’t ever wanna be eaten alive
I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cause you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see, I don’t wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don’t ever wanna be eaten alive
I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cos you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see, I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cos you’re so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see, I don’t wanna get eaten alive
‘Cos you’re dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see, I don’t wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Gotta do her, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don’t ever wanna be eaten alive
Animal stalking you at night
I’m a sucker for someone
And I got the prey in sight
Lying on a bed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe
Capture me, my blood is red
Another victim of your ritual

That’s not impossible to do, oh
