Damn It Janet
Cory Monteith & Lea Michele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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!
The lyrics to Cory Monteith and Lea Michele's song "Dammit, Janet" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a declaration of love. It is a dialogue between two lovers, Janet and Brad. Brad tells Janet how much he loves her, appreciating how she caught the bride's bouquet, which signifies that she might soon become the next bride. Brad uses swimming the deep river as a metaphor for his determination and shows how much he loves and cares for Janet. He doesn't want her to tell him to be quiet and instead wants to tell her that he loves her.
The song progresses with Brad talking about how he ran a long road for their love and if there's one fool for Janet, it's him. He then proposes to Janet with a ring, proving that he is serious about her. Janet reciprocates his love, calling him mad but confessing that she loves him too. The song ends with the couple deciding to go see the man who started it all when they met. The lyrics to "Dammit, Janet" are playful and fun with their declaration of love.

This ring I'm offering you serves as proof of my sincerity and commitment to you. Love can come in many forms, either good, bad or just average, but my affection for you goes beyond those categories.

We should pay a visit to the man who brought us together, the one who proctored our science exam. When I first saw you, I was immediately smitten but couldn't help feeling nervous at the same time. And ultimately, what I need to tell you is this: Dammit, Janet, I'm completely and utterly in love with you.
Dammit Janet; Oh brad, I'm mad
Dammit Janet; I love you!
To reiterate how I feel about you, I'll say it again: Dammit, Janet, I'm utterly infatuated with you! And, in response, Brad, I love you too with all my soul!

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
