Lyrics

Single Glove [Verse 1] Single glove, hitting the light All mysterious, in Black and White Diamond socks, glow under the beam Dance moves, like you’re floating in a dream [Chorus] Billie Jean, she’s just a girl The music starts, you take a twirl Your groove, feeling like Dirty Diana Makin’ everyone dance, from Gary Indiana You’re moonwalking, across my mind You left this world, all behind Raise that one glove, to the sky It’s a promise, that we can all fly Inspired by, the words you sing It’s our time to be, startin’ something Yeah..it’s our time to be startin’ something [Verse 2] You always show, a killer scene Zombies dancing, on the Thriller screen Your every sparkle, your every sound The King of Pop, was crowned [Chorus] Billie Jean, she’s just a girl The music starts, you take a twirl Your groove, feeling like Dirty Diana Makin’ everyone dance, from Gary Indiana You’re moonwalking, across my mind You left this world, all behind Raise that one glove, to the sky It’s a promise, that we can all fly Inspired by, the words you sing It’s our time to be, startin’ something Yeah..it’s our time to be startin’ something [Verse 3] Man in the Mirror, caught your stare Glide with a Smooth Criminal, if you dare Feel the rhythm, can almost breathe You made us all, see you, and believe [Chorus] Billie Jean, she’s just a girl The music starts, you take a twirl Your groove, feeling like Dirty Diana Makin’ everyone dance, from Gary Indiana You’re moonwalking, across my mind You left this world, all behind Raise that one glove, to the sky It’s a promise, that we can all fly Inspired by, the words you sing It’s our time to be, startin’ something Yeah..it’s our time to be startin’ something Single glove, raised to the sky You’re free now, Beat It, and fly…

What a wonderful tribute and fresh mix and match of an icon in songwriting and performance so rightly captures by you in the glove symbol. Looks like your words tumble out: all eager to come and play at the same time. Yay!

I was happy to read this review of the song. I appreciate you taking the time to send me the message!

A super tribute to a brilliant, if controversial, artist who was undoubtedly the KING of what he did.

When I read the word "GLOVE"...he was the first topic I thought of. I thank you for the review!

I like the many references to songs from his catalog. The beginning is theatrical. The ending is poetic and optimistic. Nice work.

Thanks a million for sharing these words with me! I appreciate it

I love the layers of symbols and references to show that the style is not just a style, but has something real behind it. Nice write!

Thank you for seeing all the different layers within the song. I tried to make a tribute but also put some messaging in there for the listener.

How do you write so fast, holy moly.

I like the interpretation you took of "Gloves," I understood and could see Michael in his iconic pose from the first line. I love all the references to his song titles, too. It's easy to forget how long and how extraordinary his career was and I think you captured that perfectly.

Gon' with your Bad self!

Thank you for the kind words! As soon as I saw the theme, the words started to come to me. I recently saw a Michael Jackson production in Vegas…it inspired this song. Again, thank you!

What a great homage to the late Mr Jackson. Really nice flow to the lyrics, moonwalking across my mind is a great line. Nice work
