In a way, that is how he is giving in to her first, acknowledging his deep need of her, his vulnerability (it's ok) despite of how much misunderstood, angry, strung on and hurt he feels.

The feeling has gotten so complex, he doesn't want to be understood by her anymore, because it caused all of this hullaboo including "that she and her friends laugh at him". It is indeed tainted with pain and anguish, but the plea within the melody of the guitar is also feral, passionate, intense "just simply do the things I say" and "Give it when I want it" is mainly a challenge, not an imposition. he wants her to SHOW it all, he wants her to shut up and "quench my desire, taking me higher" to find the answer they both have been looking for in an act of raw intimacy, hence: "love is a feeling, give in to the fire". She won't understand he doesn't need her anguish, her probing, her mistrust, her hurt. She doesn't trust him he senses that, so besides of her holding back that is why he cries, that is why "she always takes it with a heart of stone". She keeps on talking, she wants to know how he feels, which is why she asks and drowns herself in reasons to him it all just feels like endless, empty babbling. She HAS tried to understand him, but not in the way he needs to. Why do I say so? He says:Īnd never did I answer to your questions why Probably everything started as a misunderstanding, to finally become a power game in which BOTH of them are getting hurt, because it has reached a point in which they both became too selfish to handle it but he's seen it clearly now. Her insecurity is the reason why he is probably telling her: "Love as a woman" "Act like a lady". Even if it is implied she does feel something for him, however twisted, she is acting coldly because she needs to be in control to reassure herself. But actually at this point what we can have for certain is there is insatisfaction because he developed strong feelings for her ("I've spend a lifetime looking for someone"), he realizes his feelings had gotten so intense that by now it is HER the person he is thinking can be The One but instead, she has been holding back "all she does is throw it back at me". It could or it couldn't have been consummated by then, it is really irrelevant. I think it is about an attraction that started as a deep desire. Filled with so much intensity it is overwhelming! Pure genius! My InterpretationExcellent, excellent song. Give in to me, give in to me, give in to me

You won't be laughing, girl, when I'm not around You and your friends were laughing at me in town It seems you get your kicks from hurting me I've spent a lifetime looking for someone 'Cause all she does is throws it back to me Bill is actually someone Michael worked with quite extensively, especially on the “Dangerous” album.She always takes it with a heart of stone Michael Jackson wrote and produced “Give In to Me” with Bill Bottrell. Moreover this song has been certified Gold in a number of countries, including Australia. Furthermore, it scored a number two in Britain and charted in over 15 countries overall. And “Give In to Me” was in fact issued as a single from that project, but only in Europe and Oceania.īut where it was released it proved quite successful, which included topping music charts in Ireland, Poland and New Zealand. “Dangerous” was officially released by Epic Records on 26 November 1991. Slash, of Guns N’ Roses’ fame – who also played guitar on “Black or White”, another of the songs from the Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous” album – also does so on this track.
