Who Is It Lyrics

I gave her money I gave her time I gave her everything Inside one heart could find I gave her passion My very soul I gave her promises And secrets so untold And she promised me forever And a day we'd live as one We made our vows We'd live a life anew And she promised me in secret That she'd love me for all time It's a promise so untrue Tell me what will I do? And it's doesn't seem to matter and it's doesn't seem it right ' cause the will has brought no fortune still I cry alone at night don't you judge of my composure 'cause i'm lying to myself and the reason why she left did she find someone else ? (Who is it?) It is a friend of mine (Who is it?) Is it my brother? (Who is it?) Somebody hurt my soul (Who is it?) I can't take this stuff no more I am the damned I am the dead I am the agony inside The dying head This is injustice Woe unto thee I pray this punishment Would have mercy on me And she promised me forever That we'd live our life as one We made our vows We'd live a love so true It seems that she has left me For such reasons unexplained I need to find the truth But see what will I do? And it doesn't seem to matter And it doesn't seem right 'Cause the will has has brought No fortune Still I cry alone at night Don't judge of my composure 'Cause I'm bothered everyday And she didn't leave a letter She just up and ran away (Who is it?) It is a friend of mine (Who is it?) Is it my brother? (Who is it?) Somebody hurt my soul (Who is it?) I can't take this stuff no more And it doesn't seem to matter And it doesn't seem right 'Cause the will has brought No fortune Still I cry alone at night Don't you judge of my composure 'Cause I'm lying to myself And the reason why she left me Did she find in someone else? And it doesn't seem to matter And it doesn't seem right 'Cause the will has brought No fortune Still I cry alone at night Don't you judge of my composure 'Cause I'm bothered everyday And she didn't leave a letter She just up and ran away (Who is it?) It is a friend of mine (Who is it?) Is it my brother? (Who is it?) Somebody hurt my soul (Who is it?) I can't take this stuff no more

Meaning of Who Is It

“Who Is It” is a raw and desperate lament about lost love and shattered trust, driven by Michael Jackson’s anguished vocals. The lyrics depict a man who has given everything – his money, time, soul, and secrets – to a woman only to be abandoned with no explanation, fueling a spiraling descent into despair. He grapples with the agonizing question of “Who is it?” repeatedly, searching for answers that never come, ultimately confronting feelings of betrayal, self-deception, and profound loneliness. The song embodies intense pain, confusion, and a sense of injustice as he’s consumed by grief and unable to accept the reality of his situation. Jackson's plea for mercy underscores the character’s complete emotional breakdown, portraying him as “the damned” and “the dead,” trapped in an unending cycle of sorrow and unanswered questions, highlighting themes of lost innocence and devastating heartbreak.
