Dans le film Ghosts, le Maire danse sur ce titre mais au départ c’est sur 2Bad qu’il devait le faire. Cette modification de dernière minute à eu lieu pour des raisons tactiques puisque le titre a alors été retenu comme future sortie en single.

Le titre Ghosts est alors apparu sur le maxi-cd de History en version edit puis enfin en maxi-cd avec des remixs.
A noter que le coffret Ghosts contient un Limited edition minimax cd avec également un remix de Ghosts.

Les Paroles :

Ghosts
Par : Michael Jackson et Teddy Riley

There’s a ghost down in the hall
There’s a ghoul upon the bed
There’s something in the walls
There’s blood up on the stairs
And it’s floating through the room
And there’s nothing I can see
And I know that that’s the truth
Because now it’s onto me
Don’t understand it
Don’t understand it
There’s a tappin’ in the floor
There’s a creak behind the door
There’s a rocking in the chair
But there’s no-one sitting there
There’s a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin’ and a yawn
Where a restless soul is going
Don’t understand it
Don’t understand it
And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me?
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
There’s a tappin in the floor
There’s a creak behind the door
There’s a rocking in the chair
But nobody’s sitting there
There’s a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin’ and a yawn’
Where a restless soul is going
Don’t understand it
Don’t understand it
And who gave you the right to scare my family
And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion to see me
And who gave you the right to shake my family
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
You put a knife in my back
Tellin’ everyone on me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
A fuckin’ ghost of jealousy
Who gave you the right to shake my family
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion to see me
And who gave you the right to hurt my family
And who gave you the right hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
