Release date: 1988
"Dirty Diana" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics but was a commercial success worldwide in 1988, charting at No. 1 on the United States Billboard Hot 100. The song also charted within the top ten in multiple countries. In 2009, after Jackson's death in June, the song re-entered charts, mainly due to digital download sales.
The five-minute music video for the song was directed by Joe Pytka and produced by Larry Stessel and was filmed in March 1988 in Long Beach, California. It won the "Number-One Video in the World" at the second World Music Awards held on April 14, 1989. The woman who appears in the video is model Lisa Dean, chosen over hundreds of girls who auditioned for the role.

LYRICS
Oh, no, oh, no, no.
You'll never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been here times before
But I was too blind to see
That you seduce every man
This time you won't seduce me
She's saying, "That's OK.
Hey, baby, do what you please.
I have the stuff that you want.
I am the thing that you need."
She looked me deep in the eyes
She's touchin' me so to start
She says, "There's no turnin' back."
She trapped me in her heart
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, let me be!
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no.
She likes the boys in the band
She knows when they come to town
Every musician's fan after the curtain comes down
She waits at backstage doors
For those who have prestige
Who promise fortune and fame,
A life that's so carefree
She's saying, "That's OK.
Hey, baby, do what you want.
I'll be your night lovin' thing.
I'll be the freak you can taunt.
And I don't care what you say.
I wanna go too far.
I'll be your everything.
If you make me a star."
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana.
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana.
Diana! Diana! Dirty Diana!
It's Diana.
No
She said, "I have to go home
'Cause I'm real tired you see,
But I hate sleepin' alone.
Why don't you come with me?"
I said, "My baby's at home.
She's probably worried tonight.
I didn't call on the phone
To say that I'm alright."
Diana walked up to me,
She said, "I'm all yours tonight."
At that I ran to the phone
Saying, "Baby, I'm alright."
I said, "But unlock the door,
'Cause I forgot the key,"
She said, "He's not coming back
Because he's sleeping with me."
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana, no
Dirty Diana.
Come on!
