Control


Control

This a story about Control. My control.
Control of what I say. Control of what I do. 
And this time, I'm gonna do it my way.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
Are we ready? I am.
Cause its all about control.  And I've got lots of it.

When I was seventeen, I did what people told me
Did what my father said,
and let my mother mould me
But that was long ago
I'm in

CONTROL  Never gonna stop
CONTROL  To get what I want
CONTROL  I like to have a lot
CONTROL Now I'm all grown up 

First time I fell in love
I didn't know what hit me
So young and so naive
I thought it would be easy

But now I know I've got to take

CONTROL  Now I've got a lot
CONTROL  To get what I want
CONTROL  Never gonna stop
CONTROL Now I'm all grown up

Janet!! Ooo Ooo Rebel. That's right.
I'm on my own
I'll call my own shots
Thank you

Got my own mind
I wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life (my life)
I wanna be the one in control

So let me take you by the hand
and lead you on this dance
CONTROL is what I've got
Because I take a chance
Don't wanna rule the world,
Just wanna run my life
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance just take Control

CONTROL  Now I've got a lot
CONTROL  To get what I want
CONTROL  Never gonna stop
CONTROL Now I'm all grown up

Free At last.  Out here on my own.
Oooh ooh yeah.
Now Control this..

Got my own mind
I wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life (my life)
I wanna be the one in control

I'm in Control! And I love it. That's right

CONTROL Now I've got a lot
CONTROL Now I'm all grown up


Nasty

GIMME A BEAT!!
Sitting in the movie show
Thinking nasty thoughts
Better be a gentleman
Or you turn me off

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 car
I don't like nasty food (Ooh oo yeah)
The only nasty thing I like
Is a nasty groove
(Will this one do? Uh uh I know! Sing)

Nasty. Nasty Boys.
Don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys

Nasty. Nasty Boys
Don't ever change
Oh you nasty boys

Nasty. Nasty boys
Give me your nasty groove
Oh you nasty boys

Nasty. Nasty boys
Let me see your nasty body move
Oh you nasty boys

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
Miss Jackson if you're nasty

Nasty. Nasty Boys.
Don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys

Nasty. Nasty Boys
Don't ever change
Oh you nasty boys

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 love this part

Hey who's that thinking nasty thoughts? NASTY BOYS
Who's that in that nasty car? NASTY BOYS
Who's that eating that nasty food? NASTY BOYS
Who's jamming to my nasty groove? NASTY BOYS (Ladies?)

Nasty Boys. Don't mean a thing.
All you nasty boys.


What have you done for me lately?

Spoken PRELUDE:
What's up, girl?
He stood me up again
Again?
Mmhmm
Well what's up with this guy, do you really like him that much?
Yes, honey, I love him, he is fine, he does alot of nice things for me
I know he used to do nice stuff for you, but what has he done for you lately?

Used to be a time when you would pamper me
Used to brag about it all the time
Your friends seem to think that you're so peachy keen
But my friends say neglect is on your mind
Who's right?

What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah

Used to go to dinner almost every night
Dancin' 'til I thought I'd lose my breath (Ahhhh)
Now it seems your dancing feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death
(Ain't that a shame?)

What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah

I never ask for more than I deserve
You know it's the truth
You seem to think you're God's gift to this earth
I'm tellin' you, no way

You 'ought to be thankful for the little things, but little things are all you seem to give
You're always putting off what we could do today
Soap opera says you've got one life to live
Who's right, who's wrong?

What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah
What have you done for me lately
Ooh ooh ooh yeah (x3)

This is wild, I swear

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 and I say wrong which brings us to a stop
As the light is changing
Oh my meters running so I got to go now

It's the pleasure principle oh oh ohhhhhh
It's the principle of pleasure
Oh ohhhhh
It's the pleasure principle oh oh - oh oh

It's true you want to build your life of 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 paid the fare
Where'd you get the idea of material possession?
Thank you for the ride nowhere
And oh my meters running so I've really got to go

It's the pleasure principle oh oh - oh oh ohhhhhh
It's the principle of pleasure
Ohhhhhh
It's the pleasure principle oh oh - oh oh ohhhh

I know - what you mean to me
Baby this is nowhere
You know - what became between you and me human differential
Sa dat dit dit dit baby
It's the principle of pleasure
Oh ohhhh oh ohhhh
It's the pleasure principle - principle
Oh oh oh oh

You might say that I'm no good
I wouldn't trust your looks baby if I could
I got so many things I wanna do, before I'm through
Hey da dit da dit dat baby

It's the pleasure principle
It's the pleasure principle

Baby you can't hold me down
Baby you can't hold me down
After all the lovin' we've been through
And after all you've put me through
Yeah yeah, hey yeah
Love me, hey yeah, Love me yeah!
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
It's the pleasure principle of love
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah!


When I Think of You

Ooh, baby, anytime my world gets crazy
All I have to do, to calm it,
Is just think of you

'Cause when I think of you, baby,
Nothin' else seems to matter
'Cause when I think of you, baby,
All I think about is our love

I, just get
My heart attached to you when
You hold me in your arms, and squeeze me
And you leave me making me blue

'Cause when I think of you, baby,
Nothin' else seems to matter
'Cause when I think of you, baby,
All I think about is our love

So in love
(So in love)
Ooh
(So in love)
With you
(So in love)
Baby
(So in love)
Ooh
(So in love)
Hee
(So in love)
With you
(So in love)
(So in love)

When I think of you
When I think of you
When I think of you
When I think of you

Bass

I'm so in love
I just think of you
If you're not around
Oh
When I think of you
(So in love)
Ooh
(So in love)
So in love
(So in love)
With you
(So in love)
Baby ooh
(So in love)
Ooh
(So in love)
So in love
(So in love)
With you
(So in love)
Break.

AH HAHAHA!
Feels so good!
When I think of you

Yeahy yeah!


He Doesn't Know I'm Alive

No no
No no no no no no oh
Oh baby

I've got his picture
It's on my dresser
Right next to my bed
He doesn't know me
But I sure know him
I can't get him out of my head, no

(Talk to him?)
No no
I haven't even tried
He doesn't even know that I'm alive, no
He doesn't even know that I'm alive

I got his number
I call him up
Just to hear him say "hello"
And when he answers
I always hang up
Ooh that thought scares me so, woah

(Talk to him?)
No, no I haven't even tried
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
He doesn't even know that I'm alive

No woah
No no no no
Ohhhhh yeah
No no yeah

Someday I'll find the nerve
To talk to him and stop acting so reserved
I told myself "Girl you gotta change"
'Cause nothing ventured is noting gained
No woah woah

Late last evening
I dropped on by
Just to see if he was home
And when he opened the door
I could have died
There we were all alone
(Talk to him)
I said "Excuse me I thought my friend lived here"

Well he doesn't even know that I'm alive
He doesn't know that I'm alive
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
He doesn't know that I'm alive
He doesn't even know
He doesn't know I'm alive


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 were shining bright
We made our first endeavour to stay together
We made our very first promise
To love, to share, and be real be 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
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
Ah well before it's too late
You know can't rush love, love

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

Let's wait awhile
Let's just take our time
Love so good should I rush it
Slow it down before we go too far

I promise, I'll be worth the wait


Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun)

Funny how time flies when you're having fun (Oh baby)
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (Oh baby)

I don't know where it all went
Time passed us by
Just when it seemed the fun began (Oooh)

Funny how time flies when you're having fun
Funny how time flies when you're having fun

But time never ends
Let's find the time
To get together once again, someday soon

Funny how time flies when you're having fun
Funny how time flies when you're having fun

Don't you ever leave
(Funny how time flies when you're having fun)
Don't you ever go
Say you love me so
(Funny how time flies when you're having fun)

Funny how time flies when you're having fun
When you're having fun
Funny how time flies when you're having fun

I really don't know where all the time went
I really have to go
Stop, stop
Oh I really have to go
No I really have to go
