She Drives Me Wild

 Each time hearing this tune on my headsets, I envision Michael dancing down an urban street alley. Illuminating streetlights, punkin' up junkyard cars, and setting off parking meters along the walkway. Much like "Billie Jean". Only on a more 90's twist infused with a little New Jack Swing!

 Who knows? Maybe he did something to that affect on a short promo which never saw daylight. If so, I believe this would've been the perfect combination. Just a bit of nostalgia mingled in contemporary suburbia!

 Teddy Riley picked-up some urban sounds from the city, brought them into the studio, and mixed them with the King of Pop until another song had given birth! "She Drives Me Wild" was a pioneering technique no other artist had attempted until then(if only stuck with using every paraphrase to not swear).

Lyrics

She's got the look
She so fine
And you know darn well
The girl will be mine

She got the breaks
She the scene
And you know darn well
She gives it to me
Uh-huh

Black jeans and a turtleneck sweater
I know the girl is fakin' cuz I've seen her look better

She composition
She statistical fact
Got it ready
For the willing
Got it kickin' in the back

(She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)
(She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)

Come to the place
Shock to see
And you know darn well
You know what I mean

Hot in the face
1 and 3
Like a pleasure trip
That you've never seen(uh-hue)

Satin lace and a paisley tuck dress
The girl is waisting over
And she know she looks hot

She got position
She got just what it takes
Got a mojo in her pocket
Got it ready just in case

(She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)
That girl's my baby...Uh-huh
(She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)

(Rap by Aquil Davidson)
*Please, no I can't take it
She's drivin' me wild
My life won't make it
You got me lookin' like buckwheat
(Uh-huh)
Hair blows every which way but me
Far from a distance your looks are stunning
Walks and talks till I hear the medley
Oh it's like a temple that does cramp my style
She-drives-me-wild*

(hoo!)
(She's got the look...)
(She's got the look...)
(She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)
That girl's my baby...
(She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)
(She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)
(She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)
(She's got the look...)
(She's got the look...)
That girl's my baby
(She's got the look...)
(She's got the look...)
She's got the look...)
(She's drivin' me wild)
Ooh! (She's got the look...walkin' in your direction
She's got the look...she's drivin' me wild)
