[Jermaine:]
It was on the street so evil*
So bad that even hell disowned it
Every single step was trouble
For the fool who stumbled on it
Eyes within the dark were watching
I felt the sudden chill of danger
Something told me to keep on walking
Told me I should not have gone there
[Chorus: All]
Baby, 'cause you cut me like a knife (ooh)
Without your love in my life
Alone I walk in the night
'Cause I just can't stop this feeling
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture
[Michael:]
She was up a stair to nowhere
A room forever I'll remember
She said as though I should have known her
Tell me, what's your pain or pleasure
Every little thing you find here
Is simply for the thrill you're after
Loneliness or hearts on fire
I am here to serve all masters
[Chorus: All]
She said Reality is a knife
When there's no love in your life
And merciful is the night
When you just can't stop this feeling
It's torture, it's torture, it's torture
[Jermaine:]
And I still can't find the meaning, no
[Michael:]
(No No)
Of the face I keep on seeing
[Jermaine:]
Was she real or am I dreaming
[Jermaine & Michael:]
Did the sound of your name
Turn a wheel, strike a flame in me (hoo hoo)
It's torture
It's torture
It's torture
It's torture
It's torture
It's torture
