"Michael McKeller lives in a different world.
Oh what a different.
NOBODY seems to care.
Waits at the window, look how he's lying there
pretends he's dying there. NOBODY seems to care.
Isnt it clear nobody noticed, serving his heart on a tray now.
Isnt it queer look and you'll notice bowing his head.
Talks to the mirror, he's standing in the rain.
Tries to escape the pain, his pain remains the same.
Talks to the mirror, feels he must run away to pray now, away now.
Nothing's for Christmas.
Fighting, trying to hide his fears, crying but noone hears.
Inside he hides the tears.
Feels he must run away."

This seriously feels like Little Susie part II, I actully find these lyrics alot more intriguing and disturbing than little susie. I really hope we get to hear this song one day
 
Wasn't this song recorded during the Bad sessions? I vaguely remember Joe Vogel saying that it's one of several Bad outtakes that were left off Bad 25 and that he wanted to write a piece on it one day.
 
It's so sad. You can tell Michael is talking about his own feelings. He felt that way all his life. You can tell that from lyrics like That's What You Get (For Being Polite) on the Destiny album:

Jack still cries day and night
Jack’s not happy with his life
He want to do this, he want to do that
You want to be kind, but ends up flat for love
For love
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
Love’s not harsh and love’s not bad
And what’s he doing for love is so bad
(He wants to be so bad)
(He wants to be so bad) All the time getting in
Things he can’t get out
Something deep inside of him
Eating up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
(That’s what you get for being polite)
(For being polite)
Jack still sits all alone
He lives the world that is his own
He’s lost in thought of who to be
I wish to God that he would see just love
Give him love
He tries so hard to give a lot
He wants to be what he is not
Love’s not harsh and love’s not bad
And what’s he doing for love is so sad
(He wants to be so bad)
(He wants to be so bad) All the time getting in
Things he can’t get out
Something deep inside of him
Eating up the pride of him
That makes him buy things for the girls
(That’s what you get for being polite)
(For being polite)
(Jack still) Tryin’ to make you happy, but…
(Jack still) Tryin’ to make you happy, but…
(Jack still) Tryin’ to make you happy, but he’s not, but he’s not
(Jack still) Tryin’ to make you, but don’t you know he cries
(Jack still) Don’t you know he’s scared
(Jack still) It’s often for his love, it’s for his love
Don’t you know he often cries about you
He cries about me
He cries about you (You) and me (And me)
And every little thing that’s in his way
He cries about me
He cries about you (You) and me (And me)
Know that he deserves to cry
(Jack still) Don’t you know he cries
(Jack still) Don’t you know he’s scared
(Jack still) It’s often for his love, yeah, yeah
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know
He cries, he cries because there is a lack of love

Yeah, its either from Bad or Dangerous. Here's an excerpt from Frank Cascios book where he tells about how great the sound system was in Michaels bathroom and how he used to listen to songs Michael was working on:


"I liked "Turning Me Off", an up-tempo song that hadn't made it on to the Dangerous album; a song called "Chicago 1945" about a girl who went missing; a pretty song called "Michael McKellar"; and a song that eventually came out on Blood On The Dance Floor called "Superfly Sister".

Something about the way he tells it gives me the indication that this was around the Dangerous Era. If that is correct then that means that Michael worked on "Chicago 1945" for Dangerous, aswell as Michael Mckellar.

You know what i just noticed, that this song sounds alot and reminds me of Justin timberlakes Suit and Tie.

Justin Timberlake:

Let me show you a few things
Show you a few things about love

Michael Jackson

Jack still cries day and night
Jack’s not happy with his life
He want to do this, he want to do that
You want to be kind, but ends up flat for love
For love

The way they sing " Love " is almost identical and the overall vibe of the verses are similar
