Michael Jackson in Disneyland Don't have to share it with nobody else Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand And lead me through the World of Self
Splendid Isolation I don't need no one Splendid Isolation
Don't want to wake up with no one beside me Don't want to take up with nobody new Don't want nobody coming by without calling first Don't want nothing to do with you

Splendid Isolation I don't need no one Splendid Isolation
Splendid Isolation I don't need no one Splendid Isolation
