[Verse 1]
Everywhere, I've covered half the world, it seems
I've traveled here and there and sang for kings and queens
They say I've got a lot to live for, they labeled me a superstar
I wear the clothes and fashions, I drive the latest cars
[Chorus]
Yes, my name is Michael
Michael is my name, oh
I will always love you
I will never change
[Post-Chorus]
I have every thing that I could
Ask for, it's true
Oh, but I am so unhappy
'Cause I don't have you
I don't have you
[Verse 2]
I think of you in every love song I sing
No matter where I go, I see your face in everything
When you find success, you think there's nothing you can't do
But I found that success couldn't stop me from losing you
[Chorus]
Yes, my name is Michael
Michael is my name, oh
I will always love you
I will never change
[Chorus]
Yes, my name is Michael
Michael is my name, oh
[Post-Chorus]
I have every thing that I could
Ask for, it's true
Oh, but I am so unhappy
'Cause I don't have you
Ah, I have every thing that I could (My name is Michael, my name is Michael)
Ask for, it's true (My name is Michael)
Oh, but I am so unhappy (My name is Michael, my name is Michael)
'Cause I don't have you (My name is Michael)
Ah, I have every thing that I could (My name is Michael, my name is Michael)
Ask for, it's true (My name is Michael)
Oh, but I am so unhappy (My name is Michael, my name is Michael)
'Cause I don't have you (My name is Michael)
Ah, I have every thing that I could (My name is Michael, my name is Michael)
Ask for, it's true (My name is Michael)
Oh, but I am so unhappy (My name is Michael, my name is Michael)
'Cause I don't have you (My name is Michael)

He tried to tell us, those of us who loved him, who he really was … who she was … and how much she meant to him.
