A single page of paper with handwritten working lyrics written in pencil in Jackson's hand for the song Cheater. The song appeared on Jackson's 2004 The Ultimate Collection and read in full, "I hurt my back bone baby I start to givin up life is an agrivator the bills are pillin up I broke my radiator no time to fix it now no place to lay my body I really want to shout life is an agrivator I plan to give it up." These lyrics represent an early version of the lyrics used on the final recording of the song's bridge. A number of words have been scratched out and erased revealing Jackson's creative process. The page also features a small profile drawing of a face in the lower right corner of the page in Jackson's hand. The reverse side of the page is a blank form entitled "MJ Project" which is a time sheet for contracted performers. 8 1/2 by 11 inches Categories: Michael Jackson
