[Intro: Michael Jackson]

Centipede

Centipede

[Verse 1: Rebbie Jackson]

Your love is like a raging fire, oh

You're a snake that's on the loose

The strike is your desire

But when the centipede is hot

You're bound to feel the fire

And when the centipede is hot

You're bound to feel the fire

[Verse 2: Rebbie Jackson]

I feel, oh yeah, a longing for your touch

Like you crawled into the bathroom window

To give him all your love

Like a centipede that's hot

The fire is in your touch

Just like a centipede, you've got

A lot of loving to touch

[Pre-Chorus: Rebbie Jackson]

Don't you know in the quiet of the night

Is when the snake is in the crawling

And the moon starts to glow, then disappear?

When the time is really right

Is when the centipede is crawling

You'll be crying in the night, so many tears

Now you're crawling like a centipede

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]

Centipede

[Verse 3: Rebbie Jackson]

You came to strike him with your love

Like you crawled into the bathroom window

To bite him with your love

Like a centipede that's hot

The fire is in your touch

Just like a centipede, you've got

A lot of loving to touch

[Pre-Chorus: Rebbie Jackson]

Don't you know in the quiet of the night

Is when the snake is in the crawling

And the moon starts to glow, then disappear?

When the time is really right

Is when the centipede is crawling

You'll be crying in the night, so many tears

Now you're crawling like a centipede

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]

Centipede

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus: Rebbie Jackson]

In the quiet of the night

Is when the snake is in the crawling

(Oh, yeah) And the moon starts to glow, then disappear

(Whoo, ahh) When the time is really right

Is when the centipede is crawling

You'll be crying in the night, so many tears (Centipede)

In the quiet of the night

Is when the snake is in the crawling (Oh, oh, ow-oh, oh yeah)

And the moon starts to glow, then disappear (Like a centipede)

When the time is really right

Is when the centipede is crawling (Yeah)

You'll be crying in the night, so many tears

Now you're crawling like a centipede

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]

Centipede

Centipede

Centipede
