Michael Jackson and Roberta Flack - When We Grow Up

A really cute video of Michael Jackson (then 16 years old) and Roberta Flack singing "When We Grow Up" in 1974. It's adorable and Michael was so cute!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson. We have lost the greatest talent and the brightest star the world ever saw. He will be forever loved, missed and remembered as not only the King of Pop, but the King of Music.
He's a true legend and his music and legacy will live on forever.

Lyrics:

When we grow up, will I be pretty?
Will I be big and strong?
Will I wear dresses that show off my knees?
Will I wear trousers twice as long?
Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all.
And I don't care if I never get tall. I like what you look like...
... and you're nice small.
We don't have to change at all.

When we grow up, will I be a lady?
Will I be on the moon?
Well, it might be alright to dance by its light, but I'm gonna get up there soon.
Well, I don't care if you're pretty at all.
And I don't care if you never get tall.
I like what you look like...
... and you're nice small.
We don't have to change at all.

When I grow up, I'm gonna be happy.
I'll do what I like to do.
Like making noise!
And making faces!
And making friends like you.

And when we grow up, do you think we'll see that I'm still like you and you're still like me?

I might be pretty.
I might grow tall.
But we don't have to change at all.

(Michael: I don't wanna change, see. 'Cause I still wanna be your friend. Forever and ever and ever and ever.)

@V1llary Understand...Glad we could get that out without having an online uhhh scuffle, lol (Like many do on here:)

@DeishaGuy yes, I agree. He used it to make his skin the same color due to the vitiligo. I thought that's what I was saying. But I wouldn't believe anything he said about it because it's like plastic surgery. He lied to maintain some privacy and mystery. He has a right to do that and try to maintain some control over his life. My point was that the whole story would have gone away if in the early days of the coloring rumor he had been truthful.

[DeishaGuy]

@V1llary He used the bleach cream to EVEN OUT his skin tone I believe...He depigmentated his skin so his skin can be even considering that it took over so rapidly so yeah I don't think he lied..Watch the Oprah interview!!! I mean nobody wants to look all spotted up...(I probably wouldn't go outside at all if I had a condition like that)...Kinda sad and there's nothing he could have done to stop it!
