"You Not Me"

Date range assessed by the fact that this song of the five songs included in the notebook is a demo of the 1978 Brothers Johnson song “This Had to Be”.

Michael Jackson, transcript of lyrics

Why can we see eye to eye

She thinks she right, he's wrong

He thinks he's right, she's wrong

Yesterday I set you free

or is it that you walked out on me

Too blind to see the truth that be

the hurt’s on you, walk carefully

open your eyes if you cannot see

my love's so right

I blame you you blame me

The truth, the truth will set you free

A life for me, no more we

You put the rest on yourself

I hope you'll see

it's living in love for me, it's living in love

You took the car, but I hold the key to happiness

that's what for me

Material things don't mean much to me

Chris Cadman, “Michael Jackson the Maestro”

One of five songs hand-written by Michael… lyrics included in a personal notebook, with young actor Mark Lester on the cover, that formed part of a 10,000+ piece collection of Jackson memorabilia purchased by Universal Express and some of its entertainment partners, in November 2006.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This song seems to be a demo of what turned into The Brothers Johnson 1978 song "This Had To Be", since some of the lyrics here are used in the track.
