Control (1986)

Control

This is a story about control, my control
Control of what I say, control of what I do
And this time Im 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 Ive got lots of it

When I was 17, I did what people told me
Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago


Chorus:
Im in control, never gonna stop
Control, to get what I want
Control, I got to have a lot
Control, now Im all grown up

First time I fell in love
I didnt know what hit me

So young and so naive
I thought it would be easy
But now I know Ive go to take...

Repeat chorus
Thats right, Im on my own,
Ill call my own shots, thank you

Bridge:
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
Cause what Ive got is because I took a chance
I dont wanna rule the world
Just wanna run my life
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance just take...
Repeat chorus
Free at last, out here on my own
Now control this
Thats right, career moves
I do whats right for me
And me wants to groove
Is that ok?
Repeat bridge
Hop to it
Im in control (and I love it, thats right)
Control, now Ive got a lot
Control, now Im all grown up
Im in control, Im in control
Dont make me lose it

Nasty
 

Gimme a beat!
Sittin in the movie show
Thinkin nasty thoughts
Better be a gentleman
Or youll turn me off
Thats right, lemme tell it

Chorus:

Nasty, nasty boys, dont mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys
Nasty, nasty boys, dont ever change
Oh you nasty boys


I dont like no nasty girl
I dont like nasty food
The only nasty thing I like
Is a nasty groove

Will this one do?
Uh huh, I know... say...


Repeat chorus
Nasty, nasty boys, gimme a nasty groove

Nasty, nasty boys, lemme see your nasty body move

I could learn to like this, listen up...
Im 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 aint baby,
Its janet... ms. jackson if youre nasty

Repeat chorus


Nasty boys dont mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys dont mean a thing to me
Nasty... dont mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys

(I like this part)


Hey! whos that thinkin nasty thoughts? nasty boys!
Whos that in that nasty car? nasty boys!
Whos that eatin that nasty fruit? nasty boys!
Whos jammin to my nasty groove? nasty boys!

Ladies? nasty boys dont mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys

What Have You Done For Me Lately
 

Whats up girl?
He stood me up again.
Again?
Um hmmm.
Well whats up with this guy? do you really like him that much?
Yes, honey, I love him. he is fine, he does a lot 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 youre so peachy keen
But my friends say neglect is on your mind...
Whos right?


Chorus:
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
Danced until I thought Id lose my breath
Now it seems your dancin feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else wed starve to death...

Aint that a shame?

I never ask for more than I deserve
You know its the truth
You seem to think youre gods gift to this earth
Im tellin you... no way.
You ought to be thankful for the little things
But little things are all you seem to give
Youre always puttin off what we could do today
Soap opera says youve got one life to live
Whos right whos wrong?

Repeat chorus

This is wild... I swear.

You Can Be Mine
 

You can be mine
You can be mine
You can be mine
You can be mine


Hey baby, I like your style
I'd like to hang around
If you're good, look what you'll find
I'll let you, you be mine


Chorus:
You can be mine (if you're good)
You can be mine (you can be mine)
You can be mine (wish you would)
You can be mine (you can be mine)

Not in front, never behind
Always just right on time
Always thinking, man with a mind
Ready to please me, that's my type


Repeat Chorus


You can be mine (make that move)
You can be mine (you can be mine)
You can be mine (I really wish you would)
You can be mine (you can be mine)

What'cha gonna do


Better get on your job now
Time to go to work
If you want to be mine
Better get on your job now
Time to make me happy
If you want to be mine

Clap your hands


Repeat Chorus

You can be mine (Make the move)
You can be mine (Should be mine)
You can be mine (Yeah yeah)
You can be mine (Should be mine, baby)


Jellybean, Jellybean, Jellybean, Jellybean


I can't believe this!
Just look what he's doing to be mine
You get a kick out of it!


Baby you can be mine
You can be mine


Fellas help me out
That's good
Can I hear that line one more time?

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 said 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 ohh
It's the principle of pleasure, ohh
It's the pleasure principle 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 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 hoo
It's the principle of pleasure
Ohh, ah
It's the pleasure principle oh oh, ohh, ah

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

It's the pleasure principle, principle
Oh oh oh oh, ah

You might say that I'm no good for you
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
Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey

It's the pleasure principle
Baby you can't hold me down
Baby you can't hold me down
After all the love that we've been through
After all you've put me through
Hey hey hey, yeah
Love me, hey yeah, love me, yeah!
Hoo ooh ooh ooh
It's the pleasure principle
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
Oh



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 more 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 you
(So in love)
Ooh
(So in love)
So in love
(So in love)
With you
(So in love)
Break.

(Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, cha, ooh, ah, ooh, ah, chaow!)

Ah!
Hahahaha!
Feels so good
When I think of you
Yeah-e-yeah


He Doesn't Know I'm Alive
 

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


Chorus:
(Talk to him?)
I haven't even tried
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
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 boy scares me so


Repeat Chorus


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


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 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,love

(2x)
Let's just take our time
With love so good, we shouldn't rush it
We need to slow it down

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

Il me plait d'etre là avec tu je ne sais pas ou... ou le temps s'est enfui. Oh je t'aime mon chéri.
(I like to be with you. I don't know where... where the time has flown Oh, I love you baby.)

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

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

Repeat Chorus

But time never ends
Let's find the time to get together once again
Someday soon

(I don't know where the time has flown. I like to be with you.)
