Follow-Ups to Answer from Expert Janet Johnson

Your assessment of MJ song is not accurate. The song is not about starting something and being unable to finish it but rather its about gossip mongers who stir up confusion by being busy body liars. The excerpt from his verses clearly shows this:

verse 1:
I Took My Baby To The Doctor
With A Fever, But Nothing He Found
By The Time This Hit The Street
They Said She Had A Breakdown
Someone's Always Tryin' To Start My Baby Cryin'
Talkin', Squealin', Lyin'

verse2:
You Love To Pretend That You're Good
When You're Always Up To No Good
You Really Can't Make Him Hate Her
So Your Tongue Became A Razor
Someone's Always Tryin' To Keep My Baby Cryin'
Treacherous, Cunnin', Declinin'
You Got My Baby Cryin'

If you examine the verses you will see that Michael is referring to gossipers and stalkers who can be hurtful and destructive by lies they say that are untrue about famous people and people they might love or encounter ##including himself and perhaps #baby#girlfriend## Such lies always "gat her crying".

Perhaps the "cant feed the baby" line is perhaps gossip utterances.

But MJ encourages the distraught victim (his girlfriend) at the end of the song by his assurance that becuase such rumors are untrue, she should rejoice becuase the pleasant truth will always prevail.

Lift Your Head Up High
And Scream Out To The World
I Know I Am Someone
And Let The Truth Unfurl
No One Can Hurt You Now
Because You Know What's True
Yes, I Believe In Me
So You Believe In You
