In The Closed

Written And Composed by Michael Jackson



Little info about song:
It was originally titled (Coming) Out Of The Closet, and intended as a duet with Michael and Madonna. A demo version of this is believed to exist but there's no official release.

There's another demo version also recorded by Michael solo, which has leaked on the internet - no official release of that either. Other demo versions are also known to exist.

"He (Michael) did a demonstration for me," said Riley, "and he was the one who actually came up with the structure of how the song should come out. He would work out these string lines on the synthesiser, then he came up with these mouth sounds that were very percussive - sort of like a drum machine, but different. And it all worked."

Credited to Michael and 'Mystery Girl' - whose identity was rumoured to be Madonna or Paula Abdul, but proved to be Princess Stephanie of Monaco.

It is the third single from Dangerous, released ahead of Who Is It, when Michael heard director Herb Ritts' ideas for the promo short film. The promo premiered on 23rd April 1992. It co-starred supermodel Naomi Campbell. The promo was banned in South Africa because of its 'very sensual nature which could offend viewers.'

There's something
I have to say to you
If you promise you'll
understand
I cannot contain myself
When in your presence
I'm so humble
Just touch me
Don't hide our love
Woman to man

She's just a lover
Who makes me high
It's worth the giving
It's worth the try
You cannot cleave it
Or put it in the furnace
You cannot wet it
You cannot burn it

She wants to give it
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to
give it)
Dare me
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
She wants to give it

(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
Yea
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)

It's just a feeling
You have to soothe it
You can't neglect it
You can't abuse it
It's just desire
You cannot waste it
Then, if you want it
Then, won't you taste it

She wants to give it
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
Yea
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
She wants to give it

(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
Yea
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)

One thing in life
You must understand
The truth of lust
Woman to man
So open the door
And you will see
There are no secrets
Make your move
Set me free

Because there's something
About you baby
That makes me want
To give it to you
I swear there's something
About you baby

Just promise me
Whatever we say
Whatever we do
To each other
For now we take
A vow to just
Keep it in the closet

Just promise me
Whatever we say
Or do to each other
For now we'll make a vow
To just keep it
In the closet

If you can get it
It's worth a try
I really want it
I can't deny
It's just desire
I really love it
'Cause if it's aching
You have to rub it
She wants to give it

(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
Yea
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
She wants to give it

(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
Dare me
(She wants to give it)
(Aahh, she wants to give it)
She wants to give it

Just open the door
And you will see
This passion burns
Inside of me
Don't say to me
You'll never tell
Touch me there
Make the move
Cast the spell

Because there's something
About you baby
That makes me want
To give it to you
I swear there's something
About you baby
Whatever we say
Or do to each other
For now we take
A vow to just
Keep it in the closet

Because there's something
About you baby
That makes me want
To give it to you
