Did you ever notice in this song that when Michael Jackson sings, "Girl I love you more each day", it sounds like he's singing, "Girl I love you Morris Day?" I swear, that's what it sounds like he's singing. It's like he's professing his love for Morris in a song. I just heard this song on the radio today, and noticed the same thing. It cracks me up when Michael sings this part of the song, I can't help but giggle.

I like this song...
"..you will always be the lady in my life..."

"girl i love you more each day..."??? This is from "The girl is mine"!!!

Nope, the lyric "Girl I love you more each day" is DEFINITELY from the song "Lady in My Life", check your facts.

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!

as well as the every other month threads the song inspires.

Whoops!
This is from "Lady in my life." Sorry...

The word is "gonna"? I always thought it was "girl". @ me.

after years of having to do take after take after take , perfecing each line for prononciation at Motown....mike finally decided to get lazy and slur {he does that alot, its kinda funny...listen to him sing closely, he may have a slight impediment}
a couple of years alter he just thrue all that pronunciation out the window and didnt give a fuck. thats wat the lyric sheets are for,lol

psychodelicide said:

LOL, i think of that everytime i listen to the song, i thought it was only me...

I used to listen to this one endlessly. Love it. I can't believe I found him believable singing a ballad at one point in time. He was beautiful back then.

Back in 1983,our local R&B station had alot of fun with that part of the song.One of the DJs once played it continuously,over and over it's funny though,there are alot of songs that feature the line "more each day",lol

There are a series of ballads that Michael has sang in the past that sounded so sincere and evoke so much emotion. I can't imagine him singing those songs now, simply because he probably couldn't even if he tried evoke the same emotion; "The Lady in mY life", "All I do", "Even though She's gone", "Find me a Girl".

I can't imagine Michael singing any of the above now, the way he sang them back them.

It's Even Though YOU'RE Gone.

I can't stand Find Me A Girl, it's so generic. I much prefer the Destiny & Triumph ballads 'Bless His Soul', 'Push Me Away' and 'Time Waits For No-one'.

SoulAlive said:

Absolutely bizarre... they thought it sounded like "Morris Day" too?

Nvncible1 said:

Yeah, MJ does kinda slur his words. In the song "Butterflies" he sings, "And all you got ta do", instead of "And all you got to do".

TheBoyfromtheBand said:

So you noticed it too?

SoulAlive said:

Man, I wish I could have heard that. I would have been busting up laughing.

whatsgoingon said:

And let's not forget, "She's Out of My Life". That has got to be one of the saddest songs I've ever heard!

CinisterCee said:

They must have.

Ellie said:

Ellie, I also love those songs that you listed. Howver, "Butterflies" STILL gives me goosebumps. I also love "Break Of Dawn", "Heaven Can Wait" and "Whatever Happens". All of these songs are fairly recent and he still sounds great. If Michael would completely let himself go, I KNOW that he still has the same soul and emotion that he has always have. I truly pray that he does NOT do a pop album when he makes his comeback. R&B radio embraced Invincible like they have never done before and will do so again if he makes a soulful album. Hopefully, he knows and realizes that it will be R&B radio who will support him and not pop radio. They won't give him a chance, no matter how good the album is and that is a shame.

I have listened to this song HUNDREDS of times and I have never heard what you have heard. There is NO ONE who could sing "Lady In My Life" with the passion that MJ does. This song "drips with sex". Sorry, if that sounds crass, but the way that he makes his voice "quiver" in that song is just sexiness/sex personified.

psychodelicide said:

Yea...my bro pointed that out to me awhile back and I was like oh come on he does not say that!! But it does sound like that's what he said!!

No apology needed; you're entitled to your opinion too.

So my ears are not deceiving me. You're the second person who has agreed with me.

Ellie said:

Now time waits for no one is my fav song by Mike!!

His name isn't pronounced Maurice Day though.
