In the Closet Lyrics
Is it worth the giving, is it worth the try
You cannot cleave it, or put it in the furnace
You cannot wet it, you cannot burn it
(She wants to give it, she wants to give it) Dare me
(She wants to give it, she wants to give it)
She wants to give it
(She wants to give it, she wants to give it) Yea
(She wants to give it, she wants to give it)
The truth of lust woman to man
So open the door, and you will see
There are no secrets
Make your move, set me free
That makes me want to give it to you
I swear there's something about you baby
Whatever we do to each other
For now we take a vow to just
Keep it in the closet
I really want it, I can't deny
It's just desire, I really love it
'Cause if it's aching, you have to rub it
She wants to give it
(She wants to give it, she wants to give it) Dare me
(She wants to give it, she wants to give it)
She wants to give it
(She wants to give it, she wants to give it) Yea
(She wants to give it, she wants to give it)
This passion burns inside of me
Don't say to me, you'll never tell
Touch me there, make the move
Cast the spell
That makes me want to give it to you
I swear there's something about you baby
Or do to each other
For now we'll make a vow to just
Keep it in the closet
That makes me want to give it to you
That makes me want to give it to you
That makes me want to give it to you
That makes me want to give it to you
That makes me want to give it to you
Or do to each other
For now we'll make a vow to just
Keep it in the closet
She wants to give it, oh she want's to give it
She wants to give it, oh she want's to give it
She wants to give it,
She wants to give it, oh she want's to give it
She wants to give it,
She wants to give it, oh she want's to give it

"She wants to give it!!?" Holy crap!!! Also, a girl on another forum pointed out that you can hear bed springs go up and down in the back music.
Oh my! I'm listening to the song right now (around 4:11) and I can hear that creaking! Oh come on, it HAS to be a bed moving...oh how dirty! ♥ Wow, this song just oozes SEX. "Touch," "Give it to you," and the moaning?! You really need to cool down after hearing this! Got to the end...and the bed is just on a frenzy!!!

I love this song so much!! It's one of MJ's best songs in my opinion. I just love everything about it, especially the princess' voice and the beat! It's incredible. Very, very sexy and hot video clip!! Naomi Campbell - whoah, woman!! lol. This song is so passionate, full of desire and lust, also beauty and mystery - it's such a great song. Obviously their passion for each other is quite dangerous, it's not right, so they need to "keep it in the closet". Awesome song!!! I don't think it sounds like she's dying... to me she sounds like she's longing for him, sounds like she really needs him and desires him, she sounds beautiful and exotic.

I just love the video. I think this song is about a girl expressing love for MJ and MJ wanted this girl too but he wasn't very sure if it was the real thing and whether he should give it a try. It's obvious the girl wanted MJ very much and tried to seduced him and MJ was saying he couldn't deny his desire for her. And he was saying whatever they do or say to each other, the girl shoudl vow to keep it a secret. I think it's very much a reflection of his own personal love life. I am sure women would be throwing themselves at him and there must have been a couple he really liked but he was too afraid to get hurt.

Michaels definition of "in the closet" and everyone else's is completely different. lol
His in the closet simply means that it's something that's secret and/or private. Things of this nature were generally kept private and he didn't talk about them. He also preferred that the women he was involved with didn't talk to other people about their relations.
It does pretty much scream sex though. He wants the girl so bad he 'aches' but he wants to make sure she knows that she isn't to talk to/tell anybody about what they've done or are going to do.

WHAT does is this song about? Excuse me 4 havin low IQ, but i just dont get it, lol..:P

He married Debbie years after this song was released. I think the song is about keeping a very passionate love secret from others.

Cool song. This was written during the period MJ had to prove he wasnt gay.

Yeah it's a good song, but what does it mean exactly?

Now that I think about it, it's such an unfortunate title.

Everybody knows the story behind this one, right? Madonna was originally chosen to be the "mystery girl". However, this didn't happen due to a hilarious misunderstanding. When she and MJ got together she asked him if he understood what the title "In the Closet" meant. He said he did. She thought, ok weird, went home and wrote some lyrics fitting the theme. When she showed him her lyrics later, he got offended, thus the 'duet' never happened. I don't know, Michael is either naive or just pretends to be nairve.
