Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

You never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been here times before
But I was to blind to see
That you seduce every man
This time you won't seduce me

She's saying that's ok
Hey baby do what you please
I have the stuff the you want
I am the thing that you need
She looked me deep in the eyes
She's touchin' me so to start
She says there's no turnin' back
She trapped me in her heart

Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Let me be!

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no

She likes the boys in the band
She knows when they come to town
Every musician's fan after the
curtain comes down
She waits at backstage doors
For those who have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame
A life that's so carefree

She's says that's ok
Hey baby do what you want
I'll be your night lovin' thing
I'll be the freak you can taunt
And I don't care what you say
I want to go too far
I'll be your everything
If you make me a star

Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana
Diana!
Diana!
Dirty Diana!
It's Dia-aa-ana!

She said I have to go home
Cause I'm real tired you see
But I hate sleppin' alone
Why don't you come with me
I said my baby's at home
She's probably worried tonight
I didn't call on the phone to
Say that I'm alright

Diana walked up to me,
She said I'm all yours tonight
At that I ran to the phone
Sayin' baby I'm alright
I said but unlock the door.
Because I forgot the key.
She said he's not coming back
Because he's sleeping with me

Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana, nah
Dirty Diana
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!

    My Interpretation:I feel this song can have a deeper meaning. I'm not sure if that was intended but it sounds like a battle between good & evil. Satan trying to seduce you and trying to decide whether to give in or not.

    General Comment:Well, a song for a groupie or not, for me this is a song that describes an affair. She is the eternal woman, she will seduce him, she will do anything, just to get him. and he, despite his baby at home, he will go with her, because what a man can do .. He is just a man.

    You'll Never Make Me Stay
    So Take Your Weight Off Of Me
    I Know Your Every Move

    I've Been Here Times Before
    But I Was Too Blind To See
    That You Seduce Every Man
    This Time You Won't Seduce Me

    She's Saying That's Ok
    Hey Baby Do What You Please
    I Have The Stuff That You Want
    I Am The Thing That You Need
    She Looked Me Deep In The Eyes
    She's Touchin' Me So To Start
    She Says There's No Turnin' Back
    She Trapped Me In Her Heart

    The Curtain Comes Down
    She Waits At Backstage
    Doors
    For Those Who Have Prestige
    Who Promise
    Fortune And Fame, A Life
    That's So Carefree
    She's Saying That's Ok
    Hey Baby Do What You Want
    I'll Be Your Night Lovin' Thing
    I'll Be The Freak You Can Taunt
    And I Don't Care What You

    'Cause I'm Real Tired You See
    Now I Hate Sleepin' Alone
    Why Don't You Come With
    Me
    I Said My Baby's At Home
    She's Probably Worried
    Tonight
    I Didn't Call On The Phone To
    Say That I'm Alright

    Diana Walked Up To Me,
    She Said I'm All Yours
    Tonight
    At That I Ran To The Phone
    Sayin' Baby I'm Alright
    I Said But Unlock The Door,
    'cause I Forgot The Key,
    She Said He's Not Coming
    Back
    Because He's Sleeping With
    Me

    Dirty Diana, No

    For gawd's sake, he's dead and his children will never want for anything. Here are the lyrics. If I'm going to have to listen to them playing this in Brazil I deserve to see the f*ckin' lyrics. Here's to you, Brazil. Keep that smile bright and your pants unzipped! So much for depression.

    General Comment:With decades of stardom and countless hit songs, Michael Jackson certainly had his fair share of fans. His Dirty Diana song from the album Bad, hit the charts and became yet another favorite among his fans, and while some of his songs had hidden meanings and questionable reasoning, his lyrics to Dirty Diana were relatively explicit and left little room for interpretation.

    Michael said in an interview that Diana was a groupie who appeared to be dedicated to Michael himself, but in reality was seducing a number of different band members. This song is about Michael coming to the reality that Diana was not the girl he had originally thought she was, and he was making it known that others should be aware of her ways.

    There is some speculation regarding whether or not this was a true story or just another lyrical wonder of the King of Pop. Due to his notoriety and reputation, it is unlikely that he would use the name of the actual person who did this, but more likely he used a well-known name that could be easily disguised. Some even go so far as to speculate that he was referring to Diana Ross or Princess Diana, but his lips remained sealed, though he hinted that the song was not in reference to the princess.

    Song Meaning:Diana was the perfect and only name for the woman he was describing. Diana is the Roman Goddess of the moon, who was heavenly devine. She, in greek mythology is known for suducing men into her worship. This is where he gets the dirty diana. She saduces the guys in the band through young girls who want to be stars. This one in particular speaks of how she takes hold of his heart and even says he's sleeping with her,,and in greek mythology she could catch you aswell in your dreams. Look close at his videos,,,there's hidden messages everywhere. Micheal was part of something really big and dangerous and was about to crack the lid,,,but he was murdered..LOVE you Miss you mike, you're more than a hero to me.
