Blood on the Dance Floor is the first single from Michael Jackson's remix album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix.

The song it about a predatory woman by the name of Susie, who seduces Jackson before plotting to stab him with a knife. The composition explores a variety of genres ranging from rock to funk.

[Verse 1] She got your number, ah She know your game, ah She put you under, ah It's so insane, ah Since you seduced her, ah How does it feel? Ah To know that woman, ah Is out to kill [Refrain] Every night stance is like taking a chance It's not about love and romance And now you're going to get it Ah, every hot man is out taking a chance It's not about love and romance And now you do regret it [Pre-Chorus] To escape the world, I've got to enjoy that simple dance And it seemed that everything was on my side (Blood on my side) She seemed sincere like it was love and true romance And now she's out to get me But I just can't take it Just can't break it [Chorus] Susie got your number and Susie ain’t your friend Look who took you under with seven inches in Blood is on the dance floor, blood is on the knife Susie's got your number and Susie says it's right [Verse 2] She got your number, ah How does it feel?
