Lyrics

By chris mosdell, ryuichi sakamoto and michael jackson

All along, had to talk about it
Like a two-edged sword, he touched you and it stabs me
All along, knew you were a phony girl
Sit behind the mask where you control your world

Yesterday he had you in his arms;
When I'm holding you, I feel his bitter charms
I can't judge what you do to me
Camoflage the truth, indulge your fantasy

Who do you love? is it me now, is it him babe? I don't know
Who do you love? is it me babe, is it him now? I don't know

There is nothing in your eyes; that's the way you cry
All is grand, all is bright. you're just studying my mind
There is nothing in your eyes; that's the way you cry
All is grand, all is bright. you're just studying my mind

Was I invited to your masquerade?
Well the party's over so now take off your face
You say you love, but it's hard to see
When you're in his arms, throwing rocks at me

Chorus

I walk around suffering in my doom
When I come to you, you're sitting in your room
The truth is news, I have longed to trace
So take off the mask so I can see your face

Who do you love? is it me baby, is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love? is it me babe, is it him baby? I don't know
Who do you love? is it me babe, is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love? is it me now, is it him baby? I don't know

Who do you love? is it me baby, is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love? is it me baby, is it him now? I don't know
Who do you love? is it me baby, is it him? I want to know
Who do you love?
