Michael Jackson - Just Good Friends

Michael recorded this as a duet with Stevie Wonder, for his album, Bad, released in September 1987.

Michael is a huge admirer of Stevie: "Stevie is, you know - God, I've learnt so much from him by just sitting in on his sessions, and talking to him and listening... he's phenomenal... I had an interview with Geroge Harrison in England, we did it together, and we were speaking of Stevie and he said, and these are his exact words, he said, Stevie Wonder makes him wanna retire. He said Paul (McCartney) feels the same way."

An unreleased short film of this song is believed to exist.

Just Godd Friends - Lyrics

[Stevie]
Na Na Na-Na Na Na Na Nah!
[Michael]
Hoo Hoo!
Dancin'-Hee!
Doggone Lover!
[Stevie]
C'mon Boy

[Michael]
I Watched You On The Floor
Cheek To Cheek
She's Getting To You
You Didn't See-Her Eyes On
Me-No
She Looked Right Through You
(Before You Make)
Before You Make
(A Big Mistake)
Remember
That Looks Can Fool You
Babe, Hee!

There's Something I Would
Sure Appreciate
(If You Can Keep A Secret)

Baby Loves Me
But She Never Shows
She Cares
(No, You Won't See Her Kiss
And Hug Me)
Baby Loves Me
No She Acts Like I'm
Not There
(That Doesn't Mean She
Doesn't Love Me-Ooo)

If They Ask Her
Tell 'Em That We're Just
Good Friends . . .
Dah! Chika-Chika-Chika-Ah!
Just Good Friends . . .
Ah! Chika-Chika-Ah!
Ooo
(Doot-Do-Do-Doo . . .)
Hee! Aaow!
Just Good Friends . . .

[Stevie]
You Better Take Advice
Never Trust-First Impressions
I Tried To Hide This Affair
From Their Suspicions

So Even If She's Asking You
To Stay
You Better Know Where
You Stand
(You Better Know Where
You Stand)

Baby Loves Me
Though She Never Shows
She Cares
(No, You Won't See Her Kiss
And Hug Me)
My Baby Loves Me
Though She Acts Like I'm
Not There
(That Doesn't Mean She
Doesn't Love Me-Ooo)

Now If They Ask You
Jus' Tell 'Em That We're Just
Good Friends . . .

Yes . . .Just Good Friends
(Just Good Friends . . .)
Root-Do-Do-Do . . .
(Doot-Do-Do-Do . . .)
Just Good Friends . . .

[Michael]
Listen Up, Hee . . .We've Got A
Problem Here
[Stevie]
I Can See The Signs
[Michael]
I Guess The Lady
[Both]
Is Still Making Up Her Mind
(Mind)
(Say We're Just Good Friends)

[Stevie]
Baby Loves Me
Though She Never Shows
She Cares
(Never Shows She Cares)
No You Won't See Her Kiss
And Hug Me
(Just Good Friends)
(My Baby Loves Me)

[Michael]
Though She Acts Like I'm Not
There
You Doggone Lover, Hee . . .
[Stevie]
Aaow!
(Doot-Do-Do-Doo . . .)

Don't You Wanna Know? My
Baby Loves Me
Though She Never Shows
She Cares
(Never Shows She Cares)

[Michael]
Hee! Hee!
[Stevie]
She Doesn't Kiss And Hug Me
(Just Good Friends)

[Michael]
My Baby Loves Me
She Love Me, She Love Me,
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hoo! Hoo!
(Doot-Do-Do-Doo)
(Never Shows She Cares)
