Legendary singer/songwriter Paul Anka isn't a
fan of Michael Jackson's new song because it's "ripped off" from a
tune he co-wrote with the King of Pop in 1983 .
*This is it" foi escrita em 1983 e levava o título de I Never Heard. PAUL ANKA
The administrators of Jackson's estate
acknowledged "This is It" is a rehash of Anka's "I Never
Heard" after the crooner went public with his feelings about the tune,
which was passed off as a Jackson hit when it was leaked online over the
weekend.
John Branca tells TMZ.com, "We acknowledge
that Michael and Paul wrote this song together."
And his fellow administrator, John McClain, has
told Anka they'll do whatever he needs them to do to make sure the world knows
the history of the track.
(Chorus)
This is it, here I stand,
I’m the light of the world
I’ll feel grand.
Got this love, I can feel
And I know, yes for sure
It is real.
(Verse)
And it seems as though I’ve seen your face one
thousand times
And you know that you’ve seen my face before.
And you said that you don’t want me to hang around
When it turns, gonna do it ever more.
(Pre-Chorus)
I never heard a single word about you,
Falling in love wasn’t my plan.
I never thought that I would be your lover
Come on, please do understand
(Chorus)
This is it, here I stand,
I’m the light of the world
I’ll feel grand.
Got this love, I can feel
And I know, yes for sure
It is real.
(Verse)
And it seems as though I’ve seen your face one
thousand times
And you said you’ve seen my face before.
And you tell me you don’t want me here just hanging
around
But it’s everything i’ve ever waited for.
(Pre-Chorus)
I never heard a single word about you,
Falling in love wasn’t my plan.
I never thought that I could be your lover,
Come on dear, understand.
(Chorus)
This is it, here I stand,
I’m the light of the world
I’ll feel grand.
This is it, I can feel
And I know, yes for sure
It is real.
(Verse)
And it seems as though I’ve seen your face one
thousand times
And you know that you’ve seen my face before.
And you said that you don’t want me to hang around
But it turns I’m gonna do it ever more.
(Pre-Chorus)
I never heard a single word about you,
Falling in love wasn’t my plan.
I never thought that I would be your lover
Come on dear please understand.
I
never heard a single word about you,
Falling in love wasn’t my plan.
I never thought that I would be your lover
Come on dear please understand.
I never heard a single word about you
Falling in love wasn’t my plan.
I never thought that I would be your lover
Come on dear, just understand.
