I have only one Problem no matter how hard I try I can't figure out the Lyrics and I have no clue what
"Don't be messin' around" means. :icon_lol:

Much Peace and Love to everyone.

[mindseye]

The beginning reminds me a little like Front M's hoax mix snippet.  :icon_mrgreen: Wait... now listening to it again, definite similar beat going on.   :Michael_Jackson_smiley_by_red

Found these lyrics:

Are You Ready For A Real Good Time, My Love
Are You Ready For A Real Good Treat
There'll Be So Much Dancing, Singing, Hey Fall
Ah You Came Falling Into Me.

(Don't Be Messin' 'Round)
He, He (So Don't Be Messin' 'Round)
(Don't Be Messin' 'Round)


We Started Loving Then You, You Came Sad Angel Cry?
I'll Be So Proud If You Let Me Know You Girl
Let Me Love You For A Little While.

(Don't Be Messin' ‘Round )
He, He (So Don't Be Messin' 'Round)
(Don't Be Messin' 'Round)

Oh ,Oh, Yeah
Oh, Oh, Yeah

Now She Started Finger Poppin' To The Beat
So I Said Let's Grove Out On The Floor
She Said To Keep Your Mind On Dancin', Won't Be No Romancin'
Lord No, Don't Mess Around With Me, I Ain't Playin'.

(Don't Be Messin' 'Round)
(Don't Be Messin' 'Round)
(Don't Be Messin' 'Round )
He, He (So Don't Be Messin' 'Round)
(Don't Be Messin' 'Round)

Don't be Messin Around is an expression.  He's talking to a girl and telling her not to go around with any other guys.

I like it, but it's missing something.

[sweetsunsetwithMJ]

It has the same rhythm as Santana music.

[MJonmind]

Love the rhythm-- I'll have to listen to it some more later.

[Sweetangel]

Thank you very much Mindeye for writing down the Lyrics and Dontwalkaway for the explaination.
I had the same Problem with Cali Swag District "I wanna be where you are" there was the Line
"ride a broom with me", and I thought what to the Devil are they talking about. I needed a little bit
time till I could figure that out :icon_lol:
Souza, you are right something is missing. But I heard that this Version is a early Demo from 1987. I read
somewhere that Bruce Swedian said that this Song is a incredible Love Ballad. Maybe there are later Versions
too. I'm still wondering that this Song isn't blocked in my Country and that it is not removed by Sony or
someone else. Normaly Youtube is very Quick in deleting Videos.

Much Peace and Love to everyone

 :icon_razz:  Wonderful rhythm....give  the desire to dance... :michael-jackson:  :Michael_Jackson_dancing_smile

AMAZING MICHAEL !!!   :moonwalk_:   :bearhug:

It has the same rhythm as Santana music.

That's exactly what I was thinking too: a kind of Santana rhythm, Spanish. I like the song. A Carlos Santana guitar part would be fitting.

[MissG]

It´s a cha-cha-cha base and it sounds like if taken from the rhythm box of a cheap Casio. It is weak, like a midi used by hotel singers.
It should be a test of some sort, because I doubt that would be the finished product.

Michael´s "latin" songs have been Whatever Happens and Blood on the Dance Floor...nothing to do with this one.

Exclusive : ‘Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round - A Review

Presented as the first unreleased track off the BAD 25 campaign to be released as a bonus cut on the forthcoming I Just can’t Stop Loving You single, Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round is a song that already has a history among MJ fans and connoisseurs. Way back in July 2009, legendary sound engineer and longtime Jackson collaborator Bruce Swedien revealed to columnist Roger Friedman that the track was just – simply put – mindblowing: « Michael plays piano on it, and it’s just beautiful. » He added: « Oh my God, there’s nothing like it. » He also stated that Jackson plays the piano on it, a feat that has always been underestimated (he also plays drums on Morphine and keyboards & synthesizers on the lost and underrated track Children’s Holiday, a song Jackson penned for the Japanese band J-Friends in 1998 and also recorded on his own).

So far, the sole book to document the song was Chris Cadman’s & Creaig Halstead’s reference book (yet unmatched in the UK and the U.S.) For The Record. A very short snippet of the song was leaked on YouTube some time ago. But that was it. Until now.

Swedien made it clear that the track was intended for the Thriller album. It finally did not make the final cut. Jackson had a history – like other artists – to develop a song and to discard it at the very last minute to keep the whole set of songs as tight and coherent as possible. The left off songs happened to be cornerstone and iconic ones that were shaped for further releases. Earth Song, first intended for the Dangerous album under the working title What About Us was reworked and polished for HIStory.

Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round is a track that had been in the pipelines many times. It was first considered for the Thriller album, then BAD, and then for further projects. But the version to be released is the actual mix crafted in 1987. Sound engineer Matt Forger mixed the song for the BAD 25 project and made it clear that the song will be presented « as is »: « I mixed the « Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round » track from tapes of that era. No new parts were allowed, not even parts that were recorded after ’87 but still done under Michael’s supervision ».

Composed and produced by Michael Jackson, Don’t Be Messin’ Round is part of the demos Jackson spent enough time on to draft several strong melodic and rhythmic ideas. The chords and the rhythm of the track are quite reminiscent of the sunny and cool mid-tempo version of P.Y.T. (the original demo that surfaced in 2004 on the The Ultimate Collection box set). Some ideas and notes also sound like the ones already heard in Streetwalker, especially in the verses. Jackson sings most of the lyrics in yogurt, meaning that he still had a few steps to go before he could include the song on one of his abums. At 2:23, Jackson dives into the « bridge » section of the song, that actually is – in this version – an instrumental section. The catchy and sunny hook is back and heads to the fade-out of the song. Don’t Be Messin’ Round is another door open to Michael Jackson’s unique creative process. The King of Pop was used to tape melodic ideas – orally – on a tape recorder and then get musicians to help him craft the track, layer after layer.

Don’t Be Messin’ ‘Round is a treat just before the actual BAD 25 set hits the shelves. The Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music have joined forces to gather genuine and untouched recordings from the iconic times of BAD. Ok, there will be some remixes as well. When it comes to Kings of music, we shall have an eye on some of the the win-win projects by the Estate of Elvis Presley. In 2002, they released this great remix of Just A Little Conversation by JXL. It was the sole new remix included as the final track of a cool greatest hits packaghe. This remix sold the whole set. It may just take one cool, hard, club banging remix to make the re-release of BAD a celebration of the original album and an attempt to reach a new generation of fans. To be continued…
