Damn It Janet
Cory Monteith & Lea Michele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Janet (Yes Brad?), I've got something to say.
I really loved the skillful way
You beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet!

The river was deep but I swam it, Janet
The future is ours so let's plan it, Janet
So please don't tell me to can it, Janet
I've one thing to say and that's

Dammit, Janet, I love you

The road was long but I ran it, Janet
There's a fire in my heart and you fan it, Janet
If there's one fool for you then I am it, Janet
Now I've one thing to say and that's

Dammit, Janet, I love you

Here's a ring to prove that I'm no joker
There's three ways that love can grow
That's good, bad or mediocre
Oh J-A-N-E-T I love you so

Oh it's nicer than Betty Munroe had, oh Brad
Now we're engaged and I'm so glad, oh Brad
That you've met Mum and you know Dad, oh Brad
I've one thing to say and that's

Brad I'm mad for you too

Oh Brad,
Oh dammit!
I'm mad,
Oh Janet!
For you, I love you too
There's one thing left to do, and that's

Go see the man who began it
When we met in his science exam-it
Made me give you the eye and then panic
There's one thing to say and that's

Dammit, Janet, I love you





Dammit Janet; Oh brad, I'm mad
Dammit Janet; I love you!

ok but Finn's acting (not Cory, i do mean Finn) is pretty great here...he's stumbling around and really hamming it up for the performance and that's something we don't often see from him...

@Agentshadling

Finn ended up admitting he wanted to be an actor so it fits quite well

@victoriabrown6792

@@Agentshadling they should've kept that instead of making him wanna be a teacher later on

@Agentshadling

@@victoriabrown6792 I agree they really didn't do him justice after they graduated, imo the show should've ended sooner tbh

@victoriabrown6792

@@Agentshadling season 5 should've been the last season,they probably didnt want him in NY with rachel cuz they wanted brody to be her love interest but he still could've been in ny or he should've been in college with puck earlier

@Agentshadling

@@victoriabrown6792 he could've just done Broadway acting, or anything to further his reason for being in the show that didn't involve Rachel
