Let's Wait Awhile
 

Let's Wait Awhile

There's something I want to tell you
There's something I think that you should know
It's not that I shouldn't really love you
Let's take it slow

When we get to know each other
And we're both feeling much stronger
Then let's try to talk it over
Let's wait awhile longer

Let's wait awhile before it's too late
Let's wait awhile before we go too far

Remember that special night
When all of the stars where shining bright
We made our first endeavor
To stay together

We made our very first promise
To love, to share, and be real honest
But on that very first night
It wasn't quite right

Let's wait awhile before it's too late
Let's wait awhile, our love will be great
Let's wait awhile before we go too far

I didn't really know not to let all my feelings show
To save some for later so our love can be greater
You said you would always love me
Remember I said the same thing too
You don't have to be frightened with my love
Because I'll never give up on you
Let's wait awhile, awhile before it's too late
You know you can't rush love

Let's just take our time
With love so good, we shouldn't rush it
We need to slow it down

Janet Jackson

Livin' In A World (They Didn't Make)
 

Livin' In A World (They Didn't Make)

Children are called the future of an adult world
They are born with spirits so innocent
'till we teach them how to hate
Add to the world's confusion
We teach our kids rules
That we don't adhere to ourselves
Right or wrong
What example can they take
The people we learn from
Forge the ideas we become

Living in a world they didn't make
Living in a world that's filled with hate
Living in a world where grown-ups break the rules
Living in a world they didn't make
Paying for a lot of adult mistakes
How much of this madness can they take
Our children

Children grow to become our young adults
Problems of the world
They must learn how to confront
Doing drugs and joining gangs to rebel
Colors show they belong
To the social override
'cause they're living in a space
They feel out of place


Janet Jackson

Lonely
 

Lonely

Feeling so alone and deserted
With people standing all around you
Should I trust someone
Should I stay off to myself
Alone with no one to talk to
It's such a helpless feeling

So anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
Cause everybody needs a friend
To be there when they're lonely

So don't isolate yourself
Every time that I come around
A person all alone
Is an unhappy one
We need somebody near to love us
Someone who cares
Living life all by yourselves
Impossible to do and I'll be there for you
Anytime you feel the need
Call me when you're lonely
Cause everybody needs a friend
And I'll be yours if you're lonely
(And if you're all alone)
If you're all alone
And a friend you need
Like a river flows
You hurt, I'll bleed
If you can trust in me
We can find a way
Take away the pain
Time heals all things
Even a lonely state of mind
'cause happiness is oh so hard to find
If you're lonely I will be there


Janet Jackson

Looking For Love
 

Looking For Love

We're vulnerable
We're sensitive
And we're complicated people, too
So many people rolled into one
We contain so much
So much creativity
So much energy
So many contradictions
So much confusion
So much clarity
So many moments of faith and fear
So many different characters live within us
All looking for love

Janet Jackson

Love And My Best Friend
 

Love And My Best Friend

Love and my best friend
Nothin' better can be found
To make the world go 'round

We keep each other's secrets hid
Go on to talk for hours
Never tiring of the closeness
Only friends can share
We cross our hearts hoping to die
If fate should separate us
But we have on never change
Nothing can compare to

You're the special one I turn to
For some help and understanding
When the world gets too demanding
You're always there
To guide me when I'm wrong
Support me when I'm right
For you I'd do the same
Because I care for

Love Scene (Ooh Baby)

Love Scene (Ooh Baby)

Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby

Lying here
I imagine you with me
On this rainy night
I feel your touch
As your hands move slowly
Up my thighs
You taste the honey
They begun to pour it slowly
Wherever you desire
I feel you play with my body this way
Makes me say

Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby

You whisper words
Your fantasies in my ear
You know this I like
Just tell me how
When and where you want me
And I'll be there

Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby

Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby
Ooh baby ooh baby

Love Will Never Do (Without You)
 

Love Will Never Do (Without You)

Our friends think we're opposites
Falling in and out of love
They all said we'd never last
Still we manage to stay together
There's no easy explanation for it
But whenever there's a problem
We always work it out somehow
Work it out somehow

They said it wouldn't last
We had to prove them wrong
'cause I've learned in the past
That love will never do without you

Other guys have tried before
To replace you as my lover
Never did I have a doubt
Boy it's you I can't do without
I feel better when I have you near me
'cause no other love around
Has quite the same ooh ooh
Like you do do do do babe


Janet Jackson

Miss You Much
 

Miss You Much

Shot like an arrow through my heart
That's the pain I feel
I feel whenever we're apart
Not to say that I'm in love with you
But who's to say that I'm not
I just know that it feels wrong,
When I'm away too long
It makes my body hot, so let me tell ya baby

I'll tell your mama, I'll tell your friends
I'll tell anyone
Whose heart can comprehend
Send it in a letter baby
Tell you on the phone
I'm not the kinda girl
Who likes to be alone
I miss ya much (boy-oh-I miss you much)
I really miss you much (M-I-S-S you much)
I miss ya much (boy-oh-I miss you much)
Baby I really miss you much (M-I-S-S you much)

I'm rushing home
Just as soon as I can
I'm rushing home to see
Your smiling face
And feel your warm embrace
It makes f-feel so g-g-g good
So I'll tell you baby

I miss you much
I really really miss you
you much
I miss you much
I'm not ashamed to tell the world
I miss you

Tonight
I feel so tight
My love
My need
Tonight
Just how I like

You know
What exactly is on my mind
I can't help
Myself
Part of how I feel tonight
Won't make
Excuses
I just want you inside baby
We don't
Need to
Talk about no promises

Let's just
Pretend
That we have no more tomorrow
Can we
Make love
Like it's our last time baby
Let's not
Get too
Soft and gentle with it 'cause
I am not
Feelin
In no mood to play about

I need you
Like the flowers need the rain
I need you
Like the blues need the pain
I need you
Like the stars need the night
I need you
Like the waves need the sea

Nasty
 

Nasty

Gimme a beat!

Sittin' in the movie show
Thinkin' nasty thoughts
Better be a gentleman
Or you'll turn me off
That's right, lemme tell it

Nasty, nasty boys, don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys
Nasty, nasty boys, don't ever change
Oh you nasty boys

I don't like no nasty girl
I don't like nasty food
The only nasty thing I like
Is a nasty groove
Will this one do?
Uh huh, I know... say...

Nasty, nasty boys, gimme a nasty groove
Nasty, nasty boys, lemme see your nasty body move

I could learn to like this, listen up...

I'm not a prude, I just want some respect
So close the door if you want me to respond
Cause privacy is my middle name
My last name is control
No, my first name ain't baby,
It's Janet... Ms. Jackson if you're nasty

Nasty boys don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys don't mean a thing to me
Nasty... don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys
(I like this part)

Hey! Who's that thinkin' nasty thoughts? Nasty boys!
Who's that in that nasty car? Nasty boys!
Who's that eatin' that nasty fruit? Nasty boys!
Who's jammin' to my nasty groove? Nasty boys!

Ladies? Nasty boys don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys

New Agenda
 

New Agenda

It ain't nothin' but an us thing
And it's time for us to step it up and respect
That level of sisterhood that's been holdin' up our neighborhood
And if it wasn't for our mothers there would be no brothers
And if it wasn't for our sisters there would be no misters
So it ain't nothing but an us thing
She's strong and that's a fact
Not it's time for us to take up the slack
Step it up, step it up time to go to work

History hidden from me
To hide my identity
So I'd never feel
I am somebody
You've gouged my eyes
I see more clearly
You've tried to rub me of my humanity
My spirit you tried to break
My soul you tried to take
There's no need to be afraid
"Cause I won't do unto you now

Amen
All that we've been through
Our time has come to rejoice
A new agenda's due
Amen
It's time to know the truth
Our time has come to rejoice
A new agenda's due

Because of my gender
I've heard "no" too many times
Because of my race
I've heard "no" to many times
But with every "no" I grow in strength
That is why
African American women
I stand tall with pride
You want to know what it takes
To rid yourself of me now
There's nothing you can do
Accept me for who I am now

Time to step it up, step it up
Better check yourself
I got vexed to protect what we got
Left her alone
Lookin' for your own
Here it is I know what I'm sayin
But the Klan ain't playin' at the range
Gotta step it up us to a discuss a must
It ain't nothin' but an us thing
Rewind back to the time
Where the color of our mother
Had 'em call it a crime
Brother what in the world?
And the world says where in the black man
Support the women and the children
Time to step it up, step it up, it's play off time
And the rhyme go to check, so check yourself...

Rope Burn
 

Rope Burn

Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

When you walked in the room
You knew just what to do
You could have gone from door to door
But you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet rope
And tell me fantasies
The passion in your voice I wanna hear
As you start to tell me
While you're at it take the blind fold
Tie it gently on me
Don't wanna see but feel the things
You're gonna do to me

One in the mornin
I'm feelin' so free and sensual
Lyin' here wearin
Just my imagination for you
Sensation will do
Can you feel the warmth of the
Candlelight embrace your body
I'm feelin' the hot candle wax
Drippin' down the small of my back

[Missy Elliott]
Missy! Ha, ha! Remix!
Yo, check this out you greedy motha f....

And switched all the locks to all my doors
You thought my heart would be destroyed
Look around cuz Im chillin boy
Whatcha goin get your lawyer for?
I makes my dough and just for sure you know
Your lawyers should have let you know, you know,
When you sue me you gonna be broke, you know,
Aint no way you gonna bring me down easy
Any chick that you stick is real sleazy
Before I need you, I bet you gonna need me
You aint want me, anyway you wanted to be me.
What made you think I wanted to keep you around
While I work my a.. off while you just lounge around, huh?
You slump, bum, son of a gun,
And uh, How much you worth? I think negative, done

[Janet]
Sharp shooter into breakin hearts
A baby gigolo, a sex pistol
Hollerin at everything that walks
No substance, just small talk
Know why youre feelin on that girls behind,

[Janet]
Ha, ha, who, who
Thought youd get the money, too
Greedy, greedy, greedy
Try to have the cake and eat it, too.

Special
 

Special

Hey Jane,
It's been a long time since
I've seen you last
A half and twenty-six years
(My time is fast)
I'm well
Though I've gone through
Some deep changes in my life
It hasn't been easy
(Oh no not for me)
It's been difficult at times
Sometimes I sit down and cry
Ask God oh why
(FairТ…What is?)

I know how your feelin
Same thing I did dealin
Not as alone
As you may feel
You see but oh
It catches up to us fast
We have to deal with the past
I know it's painful but
There you'll find specialness
'Cause everybody needs to feel real special

We need to remember
That love lies deep in ourself
We have to want it so
It starts with us and no one else
We must learn
We're all born with specialness inside of us
'Cause I have the need
To feel real special too

You see you can't run away from your pain
Because where ever you run there you will be
You have to learn to water your spiritual garden
Then you will be free


Janet Jackson

State Of The World
 

State Of The World

Five A.M. rise and shine
To feed the baby before he starts to cry
No rest, no time to play
15, the mother is a runaway
No time for dreams or goals
Pressure is so strong
Her body she has sold so her child can eat
What is happening to this world we live in
In our home and other lands

Drugs and crime spreadin' on the streets
People can't find enough to eat
Now our kids can't go out and play
That's the state of the world today

Lil' Johnny all alone
His only friend, the doll he carries with him
Goes to school each and every day
To be teased because he has no place to stay
This young and homeless boy feels his life is
worthless
Instead of suicide he cries himself to sleep
And it's happenin' to this world we live in
There's got to be a better way

Can't give up hope now
Let's weather the storm together

That's The Way Love Goes
 

That's The Way Love Goes

Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?
That's the way love goes
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?

Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire
That's the way love goes
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
That's the way love goes
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?

Come with me
Don't you worry
I'm gonna make you crazy
I'll give you the time of your life

I'm gonna take you places
You've never been before and
You'll be so happy that you came

Oooooh, I'm gonna take you there
Oo-ooh hoo-ooh oo-ooh
That's the way love goes
Hoo
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes

Don't mind if I light candles
I like to watch us play and
Baby, I've got on what you like

Come closer
Baby closer
Reach out and feel my body
I'm gonna give you all my love
Ooh sugar don't you hurry
You've got me here all night
Just close your eyes and hold on tight

Ooh baby
Don't stop, don't stop
Go deeper
Baby deeper
You feel so good I'm gonna cry

Oooooh I'm gonna take you there
Oo-ooh hoo-ooh oo-ooh
That's the way love goes
Hoo
That's the way love goes
That's the way love goes it goes it goes
Oooh that's the way love goes
Reach out and feel my body
That's the way love goes
Dontcha know
That's the way
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire
My love is blind
Can't you see my desire
Like a moth to a flame
Burned by the fire My love is blind
Can't you see my desire?
That's the way love goes

The Body That Loves You

The Islands
 

The Islands

The islands
Anguila that's my favorite
I love the Islands
That's my escapism
They relax me
That ocean
The weather
I love humidity
I love the sand
I love the palm trees
I love curling up in a good book
And relaxing right by the ocean
With my baby

Janet Jackson

The Knowledge
 

The Knowledge

Insight to what's going on
Information keeps us strong
What you don't know can hurt you bad
Take it from me you'll be walkin' around sad
Cryin' for a better day
Until you educate for a better way
So if you wanna be in control
Ya gotta get yourself in the know

Get the knowledge
That you really want
The knowledge
Do you really want
It's the knowledge
What you really want
The knowledge
That you really want


Spreading vise don't believe the hype
You don't find the knowledge in a pipe
Too many lives go up in smoke
It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke
To get over get better
Try to be the possessor
Of the one thing we all need in life
To succeed take my advice

Prejudice No!
Ignorance No!
Bigotry No!
Illiteracy No!
Listen it's up to everyone
If we're gonna change the way the world is run
The way to start is to rid the children of
Prejudice & ignorance
We've gotta teach our kids to read & write
That's the only way to win this fight for life
Education is the goal so
If you wanna be in the know
get the knowledge
It's the one thing we all need in life

Janet Jackson

The Magic Is Working
 

The Magic Is Working

The magic is working, I'm falling in love
The magic is working, I'm falling in love
The magic is working, I'm falling in love
You were sent from heaven above

All of my life
I hoped to find someone like you
So sweet and so kind
Never thought I'd love again
Thought my life had come to an end

And out of the blue
There you were filling my heart
You captured me and
Stood there like a knight in shining armor
You changed my life (you changed my life)
You're such a charmer

(You must have stepped out of magic)

Stepped right of out of my dream
Shoot through my life with everything
Never have I felt so strong desire
When I'm with you, I can feel the fire
I've never been in love like this
Fireworks in every kiss
Feels so good, I feel alive
My heart and soul, have been revived

You stood like a knight in shining armor
You changed my life
You changed my life
You're such a charmer
(I want you to know)

The magic is working, baby
I feel so good about your lovin', baby
I feel so good about your lovin', baby
I feel so good about your lovin', baby

The Pleasure Principle
 

The Pleasure Principle

You might think I'm crazy but I'm serious
It's better you know now
What I thought was happiness
Was only part-time bliss
You can take a bow

It was all just one big night out on the town
Riding in your limousine
We turned right, then I said wrong
Which brings us to a stop
As the light is changing
Oh my meter's running so I got to go, now

It's the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh
It's the principle of pleasure, oh-oh
It's the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh
It's true you want to build your life on guarantees
Hey take a ride in a big yellow taxi
I'm not here to feed your insecurities
I wanted you to love me
This has become an all too familiar scene
It's not the first time I've paid the fare
Where'd you get the idea of material possession?
Thank you for the ride nowhere
And oh my meter's running, so I really have to go.

I know what you mean to me
Baby this is nowhere
You know what became between you and me
Human differential
It's the principle of pleasure oh-oh oh oh oh
It's the pleasure principle, principle
oh ohhhh ohhhh oh

You might say that I'm no good
I wouldn't trust your looks, baby if I could
I got too many things I wanna do before I'm through
It's the pleasure principle, it's the pleasure principle,
It's the pleasure principle
Baby you can hold me down, baby you can hold me down,
After all the love that we've been through
After all you put me through, love me, love me
It's the pleasure principle, yeah yeah yeah yeah...

Theory
 

Theory

Well, Jimmy was playing, so I bet he didn't here me.
My little, my lil' theory here.
Okay, so we could either stop now, and strat at either 11 or 12, or, I love you
for that Jimmy, or we could continue now.
That was a pretty awesome idea, huh?

This Time
 

This Time

After all I've done for you

This time I'm not gonna stay
This time I must get away
This time you've gone to far
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time you've got to pay
This time you've gone to far

You runnin' 'round
With those nasty hoes
How long did ya think I can take this
You said to me
That's the way life goes
How long did you think I can take this
I should have known
Aw you weren't for real
But my love for you kept on strong
You betta know
You gonna miss my love
Now you know that I'm not still holdin' on
That's right all of my friends say

You've played the game
But You played yourself
Oh boy take a look at who's sorry now
You're not the same
Aw, how you changed
So now look at you
It's a damn shame
I don't care if I
Never ever see your face again
You broke my heart one too many times
You think that I'm
I'm just not that strong
My bags are packed
Watch me walk right through that door

Tonight's The Night
 

Tonight's The Night

Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw the blind

Kick off your shoes
And sit right down
Loosen up the back
Of your pretty french gown
Let me pour ya
A good long drink
Oh baby don't you hesitate

Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna
Stop us now

Come on angel
My heart's on fire
Don't deny
This one desire
You'll be a fool
To stop this time
Spread your winds and let me
Come inside

Don't say a word
My virgin child
Just let your
Inhibitions run wild
The secret is
About to unfold
Upstairs before the
Night's to old 'cause

Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
'Cause I love you boy
Ain't nobody gonna
Stop us now

Trust A Try
 

Trust A Try

Trust not an east thing you say
Never thought the game of love
This way you'd play
By the things you do
Never thought these things
I would go through with you
Pain trickery and deceit
All the wrongs that you put me through
If you don't wanna say
Still love you anyway
Never do believe my words
When I try telling you my story
Have no reason, still don't trust me
No I'm not a cheat or a liar

She brought love
She brought joy
She brought what she brought
You thought you'd never see again
She cheats and lied
Made you cry
Said goodbye
Bodies numb

Think you're never gonna feel again
Then what do you know
You take it slow
Here comes
Things go smooth
But dreams just around bend
Don't blame me for jealousies
Or insecurities
Please see
Cause I wouldn't do that to you

Don't smother me (with misery)
Accusing me (of polygamy)
If not the trust (then we have what)
Gotta be strong (oh keep holding on_

Wanna second chance with this love
This romance
Wanna make it last
Forget your past
She hurt you bad
Let's start anew
Yes that means me and you
Gonna make it through
But you must give trust a try
Gotta be strong with this love
Hold on
Gotta trust in me
And we will see true victory
We'll love with ease
Baby please trust in me
It'll be heavenly
But you must give trust a try

You got burned
You got bruised
You got
So you got a kick outta that
Unhealthy shit
You said to she
You'd please her needs
Whatever it'd be
Still she'd cheat
On her back again for the money

Now leave from it
You grow from it
Get over it
I won't take the blame
So don't
Cause I ain't having it
Steady given me
The third degree
That's so mean
Don't push me out the door
I wouldn't do that to you

Don't smother me (with misery)
Accusing me (of polygamy)
If not the trust (then we have what)
Gotta be strong (oh keep holding on_

Wanna second chance with this love
This romance
Wanna make it last
Forget your past
She hurt you bad
Let's start anew
Yes that means me and you
Gonna make it through
But you must give trust a try
Gotta be strong with this love
Hold on
Gotta trust in me
And we will see true victory
We'll love with ease

Truth
 

Truth

How did I get here
Think I know what I did
Always worked real hard
Maybe I missed something
I'm not into pointing fingers
Showin who's right or wrong
I just wanna keep it real
Cause maybe I was doin fine on my own

Listen
I had a career before now didn't I
I had lots of friends before now didn't I
And I had my fans before now didn't I
And I had my family before now didn't I

Guess without you
My little life was nothing
But don't sweat it
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary cause
We both have out whole lives left to live
We're both consumed with jealousy
But the truth can set you free

Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free

Conversations deep
When you talk to yourself
There's no wayt to cheat
Cause you know you can't be no one else
Won't trip out on disappointment
Cause failure is just not me
Still I gotta do my job
Cause you know my show can't go on without me

Listen
I had a career before now didn't I
Sold out round the worl before now didn't I
I had a few hits before now didn't I
And danced until my feet were sore now didn't I

Guess without you
My little life was nothing
But don't sweat it
Let's say we disagree so
Arguing ain't necessary cause
We both have out whole lives left to live
We're both consumed with jealousy
But the truth can set you free

It's hard to believe
The love between us is over
It's sad to think we couldn't work it out
But how much is enough to pay for this mistake
Hope your love was sincere

Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free

Don't act like you don't know the truth
Cause deep down in your heart you do
Let it go
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child thing will be bright cause
Truth will set you free

Do you know the truth
Feel it
Live it
Do you know the truth
Trust it
Believe it
Do you know the truth
You want it
And need it
Do you know the truth
To find it
Embrace it
And never let it go

Janet: I know we just met, but I feel like I've known you before
Cliff: But something about you my heart has been searching
Janet: I don't understand it, it's over my head
Cliff: So don't try to solve it, just feel it instead. Ooh

It isn't really such a mystery
Anyway you add it up it turns out to be
Attraction automatic, a simple mathematics
Two to the power of love

Janet: I look in your eyes and everything falls into place
Cliff: You don't have to say it, it's written all over your face
Janet: By my calculation, I'm falling for you
Cliff: It's a perfect equation
Janet and Cliff: And I know that it's true

Janet and Cliff:
It's complicated, but it's easy to see
A combination that was meant to be
It's something you can count on

It isn't really just a shot in the dark
Somebody must've worked it out on the chart
Attraction automatic, a simple mathematics
Two to the power of love
