"So, did you like the instrumental, Bubbles?" Michael asks the chimpanzee who's sitting in my lap intently.
I look down at Bubbles who just turns around, groping me in a hug as if he was a real human baby.
I pick him up in my arms and swing him back and forth slowly as the monkey drifts off to sleep.
"Well, I don't think he liked it very much." I tease Michael, bubbles still snoozing in my hold.
"He's just tired." Michael retorts while pausing his beat.
I laugh and glance back down at bubbles.
"Ariana, I need to talk to you about something." Michael asserts, his tone is low and I start feeling uneasy.
"You're not breaking up with me, are you?" Anxiety is evident in my voice.
He furrows his eyebrows. "Gosh, no. I just wanted to tell you that I wrote a song....a song that's called Dirty Diana.
My mouth falls slightly agape. I haven't heard the name of that wretched whore in a long time. I'm suddenly slightly and by slightly, I mean very angry.
"Michael, why are you naming a song after her?" I question him.
He looks at me like I'm the dumbest person in the world and maybe I am for asking that.
"Experiences, Ariana. I write about my experiences and she happens to be one of them. You know how I like to express myself with my music. If it makes you feel any better, the song was written about the concept of groupies and not her. I just approached you anyway because I didn't want you to be upset seeing a song named after her and having no clue what it meant. Would you like to listen to it at least before I put it on the Bad album officially?"
No response leaves my lips as I lick them obnoxiously.
I'm gonna have to listen to it no matter what, better off now then later, right?
"Sure." I weakly smile, he shuffles to the other side of the room to play the song.
Oh, no, oh, no, no.
You'll never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been here times before
But I was too blind to see
That you seduce every man
This time you won't seduce me
She's saying, "That's OK.
Hey, baby, do what you please.
I have the stuff that you want.
I am the thing that you need."
She looked me deep in the eyes
She's touchin' me so to start
She says, "There's no turnin' back."
She trapped me in her heart
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, let me be!
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no.
She likes the boys in the band
She knows when they come to town
Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down
She waits at backstage doors
For those who have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame,
A life that's so carefree
