Little info about song:
Lyrics to an extra, unreleased verse appeared on the sleeve of the original pressings of Thriller. Cited by Michael as one of the most difficult tracks to cut for the album:
"We were used to doing a lot of takes, in order to get the vocal as nearly perfect as possible, but Quincy wasn't satisfied with my work on that song, even after literally dozens of takes," said Michael. "Finally, he took me aside late one session, and told me he wanted me to beg. That's what he said - he wanted me to go back to the studio and literally beg for it. So I went back in and had them turn off the studio lights, and close the curtain between the studio and the control room, so I wouldn't feel self-conscious. Q started the tape and I begged - the result is what you hear in the grooves."
It was included on a single for the first time when it featured on the UK release of Liberian Girl.

There'll be no darkness tonight
Lady our love will shine
Just put your trust in my heart
And meet me in paradise
You're every wonder in this
world to me
A treasure time won't steal
away
So listen to my heart
Lay your body next to mine
Let me fill you with my dreams
I can make you feel so right
And baby through the years
Gonna love you more each day
So I promise you tonight
That you'll always be the lady in
my life
So let me keep you warm
Through the shadows of
the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
Just come into my arms
While the world goes
spinnin' by
And in the glow of candlelight
I will show you you're the lady
in my life
Lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we
won't forget
Girl, I need your sweet caress
Reach out to a fantasy
Two hearts in the beat of
ecstasy
Come to me
And I will keep you warm
Through the shadows of
the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
And baby through the years
Even when we're old and gray
I will love you more each day
'Cause you'll always be the
lady in my life
