Michael Jackson - Song Groove (A/K/A Abortion Papers) Lyrics






Sister don’t read, she’ll never know
What about love?
Living a Christian soul
What do we get, she runs away
What about love?
What about all I pray

Don’t know the worst, she knows a atheist
What about God?
Living is all I see
What do you get, things she would say
What about love?
That’s all I pray

Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the words of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I’d like to have my child

Sister confused, she went alone
What about love?
What about all I saw?
Biding a life, reading the words
Singing a song, citing a Bible verse

Father's confused, mother despair
Brother's in curse
What about all I've seen?
You know the lie, you keep it low
What about heart?
That’s all I’ve known

Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the words of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I’d like to have my child

Those abortion papers (Hoo!)
Signed in your name against the words of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I’d like to have my child

Look at my words, what do they say?
Look at my heart, burning is all heartbreak

What do you get?
What do you say?
What about love?
Feel my sin

Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the words of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I’d like to have my child

Those abortion papers (Hoo!)
Think about life, I’d like to have my child

Who have the grateful?
Where will she go?
What will she do to see the world?

Sister don’t know, where would she go
What about life?
What about all I saw?
What would you do?
Don’t get so confused
Love all the things
It’s just the things I do

Those abortion papers
Signed in your name against the words of God
Those abortion papers
Think about life, I’d like to have my child

Those abortion papers
(Abortion paper)
(This paper) (Hee-Hee)
Those abortion papers (Hee Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
I’d like to have my child (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)

Those abortion papers
(Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
(Hee Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
Those abortion papers (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
I’d like to have my child (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
Those abortion papers (Hee-Hee Hee Hee-Hee)
(Hee-Hee Hee-Hee).

Michael Jackson Song Groove (A/K/A Abortion Papers) Comments
  1. j.... w....

    I mean if the girl got raped and is underaged,and they want to get an abortion then let them get it. But like if your a grown woman and your sexually active and you don’t use protection .Then its kinda cruel to get an abortion, but at the end of the day, it’s there body and people should mind there own business

  2. M.... M....

    The king of music forever

  3. m.... l....

    Bieber's best songs pale in comparison to Mj's unreleased tracks

  4. T.... T....

    Although he was a Jehovah's witness, He had a good selection of Christian based music!

  5. T.... M....

    After listening to "Song Groove (a.k.a. Abortion Papers)" for the first time in a few years, I can totally see why this was left off of Bad. It probably would've caused controversy.

  6. J.... H....

    Michael still had beliefs he got from growing up a Jehovah’s Witness

  7. d.... ....

    Oh well, I love Michael more than anything but I do disagree with him on this topic.

    The question for me will never be whether abortion is ok or not. The question will always be: Up to which point is it ok?

    When does a life count as a life? What is „life“? And when is a living creature equal to a developed human being? Those are questions not for any random person with a loud opinion to answer, not even if it‘s the king of pop.

    It‘s questions that require a lot of knowledge of biology, as well as a lot of experience/knowledge on cases of unplanned/unwanted pregnancies, the reasons for it, statistics about children who grow up in homes where they‘re not wanted/can‘t be cared for etc.

    It‘s a very complex issue and anyone who simplifies it to: „You‘re murdering a future human being so you‘re a monster and I‘m a morally superior saint“ will only ever expose their own privilege and lack of such knowledge.

    But anyway, it‘s a great song nonetheless.
    I love you Michael.

    d.... ....

    The song was about a girl who was raised by a priest in a strict religious home. She's battling whether to keep the baby or abort it. In Michael's own words about the song---> "I have to do it in a way so I don't offend girls who have gotten abortions or bring back guilt traps so it has to be done carefully....I have to really think about it." That's why he didn't release the song.

    d.... ....

    You‘re right. The perspective from which he sings is interesting and it has made me think a lot. Especially the line „I‘d like to have my child.“

    Maybe it‘s because I was raised by a single mother but fathers are never really in my thoughts when contemplating the topic of abortion. When I think of it, I tend to picture a young girl, 14/15 years old, who‘s basically been abandoned by everyone and ends up pregnant trough unhappy circumstances. That‘s the first image I have in my mind and in cases like that I am pro-choice.

    But he‘s singing about an entirely different scenario, in which there is a father who‘d like to raise the child, potentially even alone if the mother doesn‘t want to. And he feels his child is being killed. The pain he‘s conveying is so understandable in that scenario.

    Like I said, to me it‘s not a matter of abortion, yes or no, but rather of when and under which circumstances it should be allowed. I actually think most people feel that way, pro-choicers and pro-lifers. Most people aren‘t completely radical and unreasonable.

  8. A.... V....

    Que lindo

  9. S.... v....

    Who here remembers something from before they were 2 years old :D
    If my parents didn't want my ass when I was that age or lower, get rid of me please, the child doesn't care.
    You know who cares?... the person who had a shit youth because other people decided they should live.

  10. K.... ....

    He lived an extremely sheltered life with no possible idea what women have to go through unless he read about it somewhere - which instantly makes it less credible cos whatever he would read about it would be biased. If it's in print take it with a major pinch of salt. I have less respect for MJ because of this but I think later in life he grew out of this nonsense anyway.

    K.... ....

    Kate you’re saying abortion is good??

    K.... ....

    Jesus Christ • 2020 years ago its a woman’s body. They can do what they want!

    K.... ....

    judy walter so you’re saying that i can kill a person because I’m mentally unstable?

    K.... ....

    Jesus Christ • 2020 years ago its not a really a baby yet until it reaches like two months

    K.... ....

    judy walter sure…

  12. A.... S....

    Can we all just agree Michael would be pro choice? This song is simply a neutral story about how sad it is that it has to happen.
    But really- he made a place for kids to have a little fun for a day. Don’t you think he would rather not have all these orphaned kids needing help like that? He was a lover of children so I do not believe he would want to force someone to make a child in anything but perfect conditions.

    A.... S....

    He would be pro life, he believed no one deserves to die.

  13. L.... C....

    This whole song is amazing but particularly 2:59 - 3:14

  15. N.... A....

    woah I never seen a new song from bad albums before 👏👏👏👏👏👏💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓👏👏👏👏👏👏🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴

  16. S.... N....

    So, I saw a few arguments here.
    Let me bring some light into the darkness: Yes, *Michael was* indeed *against abortion.* No, this is not just a story from somebody's perspective that has nothing to do with his personal values. *The title was changed on purpose* for the 25th Anniversary of Bad and the desription was made to be least political, because this song is political and the American mainstream had an opinion. However, Michael knew how many millions of lives were taken, especially for Black America. Today we see, that last year it was the #1 killer with 42 mio victims worldwide (reference: 2nd was cancer with 8 mio victims)! And he even made this statement in the 1980's! - _Those abortion papers, signed in your name against the word of God._
    He also saw the problem of massive fatherlessness for Black American youth btw...
    But Michael was aware of one thing, that was important to him at the time. Michael made a liner note for the demo that read,
    _"I have to do it in a way, so I don't offend girls who have gotten abortions or bring back guilt trips, so it has to be done carefully."_ Which is of course very important.

    S.... N....

    He is against abortion. So what? Many women are, it doesn’t make him sexist or anything.

    S.... N....

    @Alexandra Christo ? Okay....... wow

    S.... N....

    It doesn't matter if it's political because the people that have liberal views get to say whatever they want and we're supposed to agree with it or be outlawed. He said what needed to be said for the glory of God and for that he is already the greatest musician for not being scared of anyone. Abortion is against God, He let man have children to reproduce the people that die, and the argument that we need to shorten the population because we will run out of resources is a lie. If people weren't so wastefull and greedy we could feed anyone and help everyone. but socialist governements don't like to fix things so that's why we're in the world we're in

    S.... N....

    @Sven Nelson Oh Sweet! LYRICS!!!

  17. q.... s....

    this is a bop, but i'm pro-choice.

  18. C.... p....

    Wow... Such heated arguments... Geez...

  19. J.... T....

    He wrote an anti-abortion song?! My respect for him just went up. If he released this today the media and feminists would eat him alive.

    J.... T....

    @Sara Jacobson It was. Actually song is named song groove AKA abortion paper. :D

    J.... T....

    That's why the media especially CNN hated him cause he could've rekt them

    J.... T....

    He didn't have a party he just wanted the best out of everyone, and for God. He was with Reagan, Bush and Clinton which proves he was a bipartisan man. Parties only divide a nation. He was even friends with the now President of The United States Donald Trump. MJ was in like everything behind the scenes and nobody cared to reaiize how much good he was doing.

    J.... T....

    Most children networks forget him already!

    J.... T....

    He was Catholic so yes, he was anti-abortion (also he was a life peaceful) and it's really curious... This man was so ahead at that time to do a song about that

  20. A.... C....

    Great song. Michael loved children so he was probably against abortion. It doesn’t mean he hates females Jesus Christ. Everyone has opinions, I am a woman but I am against abortion unless serious circumstances. Even so, I don’t agree.

  21. M.... g....

    Bestes lied aller

  22. L.... W....

    I hate abortion because it's torturing and murdering innocent children people should love all children even the teenaged kids ages 0 to 17 their all innocent i wouldn't hurt or kill a child no matter if its in the mother's stomach or being born and the after birth even my mother didn't hurt a child she'd hurt an adult before she'd hurt a child and Michael Jackson was the same way he'd hurt an adult before he'd hurt a child in fact he never hurt any children even the teenaged kids he didn't even hurt them even though some people think older kids are grown but they're not because they're all children until their age 18 all kids are innocent ages 0 to 17

  23. C.... p....

    I don't remember where I heard it, but I heard that when he was composing this song, Michael Jackson was (Reportedly) *very* careful with writing the lyrics to this, since even back then, abortion was a touchy subject, so he probably wanted to remain neutral about it in this instance where it would be a public piece of music for anyone to hear.


    Ultimately, he didn't release it because of how touchy of a subject it was.


    I think he made the right call on this, and I don't think this because of my opinions on the matter, but rather it would probably cause a P.R. craze.

    C.... p....

    Yeah if this got released at the time, he would've been just absolutely smothered even more by the media than he already was

  24. C.... A....

    Of course, because MJ was religious (he was a Jehova's Witness and they're also against abortion).
    Great song, a pleasure to listen too.

  25. P.... D....

    Read the lyrics, people. He's not taking any sides, he's just telling a story.

    P.... D....

    He against it. Michael wouldn't sing a song he didn't approve of

    P.... D....

    @Alexandra Christo He wouldn't *release* a song he didn't approve of. At face value, the lyrics aren't demonstrably taking any sides--the subject is a woman who grew up religious and finds herself pregnant. She's struggling to find a solution while everyone's screaming at her.

    That's literally all there is to it. We can speculate, but there's nothing that explicitly says "Hi, I'm against abortion."

    P.... D....

    Phoenix Down Then why would he sing it? Michael Jackson wrote, & co produced many songs on BAD.
    So he probably wrote this song.
    Who cares if he was against it? He loves children, it doesn’t make him sexist. Michael had many close females.

    P.... D....

    He IS against it
    "I don't sing it if I dont mean it"
    -Little MJ

  26. S.... ....

    Thank you, Michael.

  27. G.... ....

    Song groove is a much more fitting name for this song. I simply can't stop tapping my feet!

  28. T.... ....

    it's a complex topic and a very sad situation but i gotta say i think human life has a right to exist. to quote a song from MJ's dangerous album: Just Keep It In Your Pants

  29. S.... ....

    OH MY GOSH!!! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!! I FEEL THE SAME WAY, MICHAEL!!! I LOVE YOU AND FEEL FOR YOU AND ALL THE VICTIMS OF ABORTION!!! 🤧🤧🤧😢😢😢😭😭😭✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

    S.... ....

    Shamone! Same WHY IS ABORTION EVEN A THING?!? 😭😭😭

    S.... ....

    @GG _l o v e s music radical left.

  30. S.... Q....

    I’m sure if Michael was alive he would respect a women’s right to choose whether or not to get an abortion. So don’t get your hopes up.

    S.... Q....

    I doubt it. I'm pretty sure he would be against abortion. Maybe he would have no problem with it in some extreme cases such as rape or when the mother's life is in danger, but other than that he would definitely be pro-life.

    S.... Q....

    @KingCai72 but I guess we will never know right so there

    S.... Q....

    I don’t think you know that planned parenthood was created to rid the world of black people. MJ would never support killing babies. You are very brainwashed.

    S.... Q....

    Michael Jackson was conservative. He didn't like cursing or bad behavior. He didn't like when Freddy Mercury was doing cocaine allegedly in the studio.

    S.... Q....

    But he lived children. Abortion is murder

  31. o.... 3....

    stop saying it sounds like this or like that, it only sounds like a michael jackson song ..

  32. S.... K....

    it sound like bad

    S.... K....

    Not that much!

  33. l.... ....

    this sounds better when mashed up with the metropolis zone from sonic 2

  34. W.... J....

    This sounds like a good Jacksons song. Marlon doing lead then Michael does the hook

    W.... J....

    Would've been dope for 2300 Jackson Street

  35. A.... ....

    This sounds like Streetwalker

  36. C.... ....

    Best song ever to be released

  37. S.... B....

    Only an emotional living being can sing and write such a beautiful song...............Hail to Michael Jackson.....

  38. S.... ....

    Metropolis Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2

    S.... ....

    Go read up about his involvement with SEGA and Sonic and how they removed his credits after the false allegations s

    S.... ....

    wow, i can hear it now. :)

  39. S.... M....

    Love the strings

    S.... M....

    Sofia Madvali Same here!😅🙏🏽❤️🔥💯

    S.... M....

    Don't forget the horns during the ending, it gives more energy that the song already made.

  40. J.... L....

    i like the part where he starts going hee-hee-eeh

    J.... L....

    Yes is so cute!!!! 💗😍

  41. M.... T....

    I agree with you Michael

    M.... T....

    Woman have a right to have an abortion, I'm not trying to start a right about it. So don't bash me about my opinion, because I'm not bashing you for yours. But as a female myself, if I were older and got pregnant, the only instances where I would get one is if I were raped. But that's just me. All im saying is please don't think woman have abortions just because they want to, it's what's best for them.

    M.... T....

    @Amira Brown if they got raped then it's something that I came to understand... BUT if they go out and have sex EVEN if a condom broke it is not their right to kill another baby that has a unique dna from the mothers. The dna tells the babys eye color, hair color, height, weight and more. You do not have the right to kill it it's inhuman.

    M.... T....

    @Derzie he was sensitive soul. He never againts homosexual people while he never agreed with, and by the abortion its the same thing. He suffered of many things, not only because his own problems, he hurt under global problems

    M.... T....

    @VALTY okay, you have a right to your own opinion like i have a right to mine.

    M.... T....

    He's just telling a story. He's not taking any sides here.

    ABORTION IS GARBAGE

    @Danimar da Silva how would you feel if you were barely able to finacialy support yourself, get raped, become pregnant without ever wanting it and then having to give birth to a child without a father that you never wanted and never were able to afford?

    a.... ....

    @KingCai72 a unborn fetus is not a kid so while it is allowed to mass murder animals, nothing speaks against abortion

    a.... ....

    Sir_Vival You could always put the kid up for adoption. Rape/incest abortion make up less than one percent of all abortions. Planned parenthood was created to rid the world of black people. Also it’s a scientific fact that life begins at conception. So yes an unborn fetus is in fact a human being with its own UNIQUE DNA, it’s own UNIQUE fingerprints, it’s own blood type, not to mention a heartbeat, and a brain with the ability to feel pain. The only difference between an unborn child and every other person in this world is time.
