[Verse 1] Hey, pretty baby with the high heels on You give me fever like I've never ever known You're just a product of loveliness I like the groove of your walk, your talk, your dress I feel your fever from miles around I'll pick you up in my car and we'll paint the town Just kiss me, baby, and tell me twice That you're the one for me
[Chorus] The way you make me feel (The way you make me feel) You really turn me on (You really turn me on) You knock me off of my feet now, baby (You knock me off of my feet) My lonely days are gone (My lonely days are gone)
[Interlude] Acha-ooh Go on, girl, go on Hee-hee, aaow Go on, girl
[Pre-Chorus] I've never felt so in love before Just promise, baby, you'll love me forevermore I swear I'm keepin' you satisfied 'Cause you're the one for me
[Chorus] The way you make me feel (The way you make me feel) You really turn me on (You really turn me on) You knock me off of my feet now, baby, hee (You knock me off of my feet) My lonely days are gone, ah, ah (My lonely days are gone) The way you make me feel (The way you make me feel) You really turn me on (You really turn me on) You knock me off of my feet now, baby, hee (You knock me off of my feet) My lonely days are gone (My lonely days are gone)
[Bridge] Ain't nobody's business (The way you make me feel) Ain't nobody's business Ain't nobody's business (You really turn me on) Ain't nobody's business But mine and my baby, hee-hee (You knock me off of my feet) Hee-hee, ooh (My lonely days are gone) Give it to me (The way you make me feel) Give me some time Come on, be my girl (You really turn me on) I wanna be with mine Ain't nobody's business (You knock me off of my feet) Ain't nobody's business But mine and my baby (My lonely days are gone) Go on, girl, aaow
[Interlude] Hee-hee, ooh Choo-coo, choo-coo Choo-coo, choo-coo, choo-coo Go on, girl!
[Refrain] The way you make me feel (Hee-hee, hee-hee-hee) You really turn me on You knock me off of my feet My lonely days are gone
[Outro] Give it to me (The way you make me feel) Give me some time Come on, be my girl (You really turn me on) I wanna be with mine Ain't nobody's business (You knock me off of my feet) Ain't nobody's business But mine and my baby (My lonely days are gone) Go on, girl Give it to me (The way you make me feel) Give me some time Come on, be my girl (You really turn me on) I wanna be with mine

Another massive hit from Bad, this track got to number one in the US.
In various songs in the album, Michael boasts about his confidence but in “The Way You Make Me Feel” he lets his guard down and needs assurance from this girl who makes him feel really good and want her to hold him close.
