Ross, Diana - Eaten Alive Lyrics






Animal stalking you at night
I'm a sucker for someone
And I got the prey in sight
Lying on a bed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe

Capture me my blood is red
Another victim of your ritual
For you my skin is shed
Ecstacy ain't what you find
In the modern world
One flick of my tongue changes
The meaning of the world
And you say

That's impossible
That's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be

I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive

Now I got you on the run
And the quicker my senses
And the chance is, I'm the faster one
I know the universal law
Primeval times
With a little stimulation
It'll come once more, and you say

That's impossible
It's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be

I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive

I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don't ever wanna be eaten alive

I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive

Gotta do her, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don't ever wanna be, eaten alive

Ross, Diana Eaten Alive Comments
  1. f.... ....

    How was this not a huge hit. I had to read a bee gees biography to even hear of it. This is amazing. Can hear Barry Gibb 0:57

  2. S.... G....

    Very good memory

  3. S.... G....

    My childhood

  4. M.... ....

    I'm still here 2019 ..luv it so much!!! Happy Birthday MJ

  5. d.... ....

    Three great voices are in this video diana ross micheal Jackson and Barry Gibb of the bee gees doing back up vocals

  6. J.... F....

    Who's that swimming? Hey it's Joey from friends! That's an 18 year old Matt Leblanc in this video.

  7. j.... c....

    Is this the song Barbara Corcoran played at her "funeral" birthday? I can't find "I'm Alive"

  8. R.... G....

    2:45 That’s the Michael Jackson magic

  9. s.... ....

    It is not a good idea to add Michael Jackson to your song. He steals the show and it becomes his song, and you are just an interference. You can easily see it by the number of comments here that talk about MJ vs those about Diana... You can say MJ has "Eaten Alive" Diana in this song.

    s.... ....

    Naw...these people are MJ fans and always comment on anything Diana did with MJ...this is Diana's song he in no way stole it from her...pullease

    s.... ....

    I'm an MJ fan and I don't do that. Not all fans do it dude.

  10. T.... K....

    A year ago this video was banned here in the state y it came back who cares love this video

    AWESOME!!!

  13. T.... K....

    Love the song n video

  14. d.... ....

    Brilliant '80's song !! I think it's very English HI-NRG sounding, I can have just pictured Hazel Dean singing it. Now wonder America didn't "get it".

  15. l.... ....

    Southern University Dancing Dolls brought me here

  16. J.... H....

    The best Michael Jackson's song!!!!

  17. E.... M....

    Its Werid and Cool @ The same time when diana Turns into a were Kat Is really tripped out

  18. E.... M....

    Favorite Duet Of Theirs!!

  19. 9.... B....

    Michael loved doing back vocals for others artists hits but he never wanted any artists doing it in his songs 😂😂😂

  20. 9.... B....

    hearing Michael's vocals make me wanna beaten alive by him 😍😍😍

  21. R.... S....

  23. P.... b....

    🏆Best Actress Diana Ross, this is one of her best videos to date,,
    This video was nominated (AMA) for best Video but lost against Aretha Franklin's Freeway of Love ,why,??.... still Miss Ross killed it,,, as the character in Hollywood studio version of H. G WELLS, classic The Island of Dr Moreau,👏👏

  24. B.... C....

    We are always EATEN ALIVE by stuff and people even in 2018!

  25. J.... W....

    Such a Sexy Vid....From the Gorgeous #MsRoss !!!! MJ doing Background Vocals !!!! Based on the Horror Movie Classic...….The Island of Dr. Moreau !!!!!

  26. B.... C....

    She could have eaten me alive with this song! Still a jam in 2018!

  27. A.... I....

    All these years and I never knew there was a video for this :/

  28. A.... C....

    Wow at 2:59 that is one Scary Look.

  29. M.... ....

    Barry Gibb layered her voice under the music....which made it hard to hear her..I think that's why it wasn't a hit...her vocal was the bomb just listen to her sing it live...but how he produced her voice made it sound tiny....

    M.... ....

    It's more a Michael Jackson song than a Diana Ross song.

  30. A.... K....

    R.i.p. Michael Jackson

  31. M.... ....

    she was gorgeous in this video

    M.... ....

    I agree, I kind of like the way she put on the cat Like Mysterious movements, with the freaky animalistic face expressions, I admit, it kind of turned me on a bit, hmmm ok diana, I see u...

  32. B.... C....

    She could have eaten me alive anytime! LOLLL!

    B.... C....

    Bob Cummings MJ was eating her alive...lol

  33. B.... C....

    WOW! I heard this song alot in the 80's and NEVER seen the video until now in 2018!

  34. R.... N....

    Love the black cat symbolism, just like in Mike and Janet's vids!

  35. N.... B....

    Please does anyone have the lyrics.. I'm singing words that make no sense 😶

    N.... B....

    I'd like to know them too actually 😂 maybe go on Google and search "eaten alive lyrics", sometimes youtube doesn't have them

  36. H.... ....

    I loved this song back in 85'! I even bought the single which I still have left. It brings me memories from my youth when I was living in Stockholm. I still like it and wonder why it wasn't a big hit back then.

  37. S.... B....

    I'd never get tired to listen to this song.

  38. R.... W....

    R.... W....

    Rowenda Wijders 👍🏻😃

  45. C.... M....

    helene Fischer atemlos

    l.... ....

    @L0uL0uisa What? i was 9 when the song came out and i remember i was bumping this shit in 85! the chorus is catchy a fuck!

    l.... ....

    In the US the original Video had Heavy airplay on MTV n BET and Diana Ross did receive a
    American Music Award nomination for Best R&B Female video.....

  53. R.... C....

    I loved it when Diana went into a bit of hi-energy sounded do good, a great song and a great video. Diana is the boss.

  54. T.... F....

    I just discover now the album Eaten Alive lol. I was 14, and the song I remember is Chain Reaction. I heard it so many times on the radio at the time and I loved this song, but I never bought the album.
    Chain reaction and Eaten Alive are my favorite songs on this album, then Experience.

  55. J.... L....

    Barry Gibb wrote this song for Diana Ross.

    J.... L....

    Barry's falsetto can also heard singing some parts in the chorus!

    J.... L....

    Michael Jackson actually wrote this song- off the " Eaten Alive" album. The album was written and produced by Barry Gibb and Alby Galuten. Executive producer Diana Ross.

    J.... L....

    Jamie Linson MJ chd the whole chorus. That's why he said ",Cuz our soooo dangerous,.... Beci he wrote tons of songs about Diana including dangerous....

    J.... L....

    Dirty Barry.

  56. D.... E....

    80's Diana Ross music rocks!

  57. D.... V....

    Aside from MIchael background vocals, the BeeGees contributed a piece of background vocals too especially on the 12 inch version

    D.... V....

    The whole album is produced by Barry Gibb. You can hear his voice in the background chorus while MJ is singing.

  58. C.... O....

    I absolutely love MJs vocals at 3:34.

    C.... O....

    he ate those ad libs on the chorus up!

    C.... O....

    Barry Gibb...

  59. m.... ....

    song was written by barry and maurice gibb but michael heard demo and thought he could improve the chorus its why he gets a writing credit on the song

    m.... ....

    megaphoenix2001 He rewrote most of the chorus, that's why he added "Vuz our so dangerous! "
    Becuz he write tons of songs for Diana. Incl dangerous...

  60. M.... ....

    80s was the BEST, all else is crazy weak to what we did back then, dont deny it....

  61. r.... ....

    r.... ....

  63. C.... R....

  66. �.... �....

    This song is so energetic and powerful! I love it! You hear the Michael Jackson's background vocals? Oh his voice is strong as hell! MJ is a perfection! I love him with all of my heart!

    �.... �....

    Wonder why Mj's voice inaudible as the original blasts their voice fabulously. Eaten Alive RIP Michael.

  68. J.... G....

    Prodigious. Thank you so much for posting.

  69. A.... T....

    AWESOME MJ!!! The other song he sang on backing vocals for Diana Ross was the Muscles, brilliant!!! GONE TOO SOO....MJ!!!

    A.... T....

    Asif Tanvir He wrote muscles for her! They also have a CD of love songs together. He was desperately in love with her. But she broke his heart....

  70. 8.... M....

    When I heard the song for the first time, I thought the Background sounds so much like MJ. And later I read that MJ really sings in this song!!!
    I love his voice...MJ's like an angel... <3

    8.... M....

    Not like, actually is

  71. D.... ....

    This video clip is tightly based on the film "The island of lost souls" (1932) with Charles Laughton as doctor Moreau; Diana Ross plays "The Panther Woman" (Kathleen Burke in the motion picture). The island appearing in the mist, first image of the video, is also the first image in the film. The house is the same too. Nice video clip and excellent motion picture. The book is HG Wells' "Island of doctor Moreau" (1896).

    D.... ....

    Exactly. There is also the 90's new version with David Thewlis, Faruza Balk and the famous Marlon Brando.

  72. J.... S....

    Sane here nightrise, remember my parents had the video and this was the b side of chain reaction. Used to be intrigued but scared at the same time

  73. N.... ....

    loved that one as a kid , fascinated and scared same time.. finally found it again after so many years. yay !

  74. H.... S....

    LOVE Michael soooooo much

  75. F.... T....

    Based on the book 'The Island of Dr. Moreau'. Two feature films have been made about it, but either of them is worth watching according to IMDB.

  76. k.... c....

    I really enjoy watching this vid. ,and i love this smexy tune from Diana

  77. L.... V....

    A perfect mix of the talents of Miss Roos, Barry Gibb and the stunning Michael Jackson!

  78. w.... ....

    i'll say one thing...diana's film clips always had a little creative license and i love that she did that...everything else seemed to be done by russell mulchay. diana...you did great.

  79. s.... b....

    only DIANA ROSS ...what was she thinking LOL

    eaten alive? really?

  80. T.... ....

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this song, and the video, pure brilliance.

  81. H.... M....

    Diana, Barry Gibb and Michael jackson, this didn't get the exposure in the states it deserved. can you imagine Michael singing back up? and the gentleman in the video si Joey Gian, he is fabulous as well. Go Joey!

  82. G.... ....

    With Michael Jackson doing back-up vocals, you're guaranteed a hit!

    G.... ....

    With Michael Jackson on backing vocals your guranteed shit!

    G.... ....

    It's too bad this song didn't sell. The Gibbs voices are on this track too.

    G.... ....

    sidrat69 sit yo ass down.

  83. B.... B....

    they are re-making the classic Horror moive " THE ISLAND of DR. MONRUE" its surppose to look like the 1920s,,,

  84. B.... B....

    yea MJ wrote this for DIANA s new cd' with the BeeGee,s GIBBS BRO,singing also in CHAIN REACTION"...this song Proves that DIANA can REALLY Belt out some STRONG POWERFUL notes and HER Acting is at its BEST she should have done The MOIVE, ROSS"s BEST Video !!!!!!!THE BOSS RULES,,......

  86. P.... B....

    THE BEST SONG

  87. P.... V....

  88. P.... S....

    P.... S....

    Phil Simpson I understood them perfectly

  89. P.... T....

    oh Michael you are the musicccccccccc

  90. A.... A....

    i know im saying he can't be no brackground singer, it's not in him. he overpowers the songs. i.e. rockwell somebody's watching me.

  91. C.... C....

    MJ wrote the song and is doing the backing vocals

  92. A.... A....

    MJ could not be a background singer. boi stop lol

  93. S.... H....

    meanwhile, back at the ranch.........

  94. O.... Q....

    u can Barry Gibb in parts

  95. O.... Q....

    exactly

  96. D.... G....

    The video was inspired by an old movie named 'Island of Dr. Mareau'. It was about a mad scientist on an island conducting experiments combining humans and animals.

  97. D.... G....

    Oh okay. That makes alot more sense.
