Lyrics

Chorus
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
1St Verse
I took my baby to the doctor
With a fever, but nothing he found
By the time this hit the street
They said she had a breakdown
Someone's always tryin' to start my baby cryin'
Talkin', squealin', lyin'
Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'
Chorus
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
2Nd Verse
You love to pretend that you're good
When you're always up to no good
You really can't make him hate her
So your tongue became a razor
Someone's always tryin' to keep my baby cryin'
Treacherous, cunnin', declinin'
You got my baby cryin'
Chorus
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
You're a vegetable, you're a vegetable
Still they hate you, you're a vegetable
You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable
They eat off of you, you're a vegetable
3Rd Verse
Billie Jean is always talkin'
When nobody else is talkin'
Tellin' lies and rubbin' shoulders
So they called her mouth a motor
Someone's always tryin' to start my baby cryin'
Talkin', squealin', spyin'
Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin'
Chorus
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
You're a vegetable, you're a vegetable
Still they hate you, you're a vegetable
You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable
They eat off of you, you're a vegetable
Ad-lib
If you cant feed your baby (yeah, yeah)
Then don't have a baby (yeah, yeah)
And don't think maybe (yeah, yeah)
If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah)
You'll be always tryin'
To stop that child from cryin'
Hustlin', stealin', lyin'
Now baby's slowly dyin'
Chorus
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)
Ad-lib
Lift your head up high
And scream out to the world
I know I am someone
And let the truth unfurl
No one can hurt you now
Because you know what's true
Yes, I believe in me
So you believe in you
Help me sing it, ma ma se
Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa
Ma ma se, ma ma sa
Ma ma coo sa
(Repeat/fade-out)

Paroles (Traduction)

Refrain
J'ai dit que tu veux commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose
J'ai dit que tu veux commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose
C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais)
Trop bas pour passer en-dessous (ouais, ouais)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais)
C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais)
Trop bas pour passer en-dessous (ouais, ouais)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais)
1er couplet
J'ai emmené mon bébé chez le médecin
Avec de la fièvre, mais il n'a rien trouvé
Quand cette nouvelle s'est répandue
Ils ont dit qu'elle avait fait une crise
Quelqu'un essaie toujours de faire pleurer mon bébé
Parler, crier, mentir
Disant que tu veux juste commencer quelque chose
Refrain
J'ai dit que tu veux commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose
J'ai dit que tu veux commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose
C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais)
Trop bas pour passer en-dessous (ouais, ouais)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais)
C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais)
Trop bas pour passer en-dessous (ouais, ouais)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais)
2e couplet
Tu aimes faire semblant d'être bon
Alors que tu ne fais que des mauvais coups
Tu ne peux vraiment pas le faire haïr
Alors ta langue est devenue une lame
Quelqu'un essaie toujours de faire pleurer mon bébé
Traître, rusé, déclinant
Tu fais pleurer mon bébé
