Night
Jackson Janet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up in heaven in the morning
With the biggest smile upon my face

Cross the other side of bliss
I proof that Heaven does exist
I'm offering my gratitude
For what is meant to be
Is 'bout to break through

Love is taking over
Like a tidal wave
Our universe is aligned
Feeling the love tonight
Love is taking over
Showing us the way
Darkness starts to fade
After the love tonight
I woke up in heaven in the morning
With the biggest smile upon my face

Way beyond the highest high
I feel love pumping through your body
Gonna redefine our attitudes
Like you better be good to me
And I better be good to you

Love is taking over
Like a tidal wave
Our universe is aligned
Feeling the love tonight
Love is taking over
Showing us the way
Darkness starts to fade
After the love tonight
I woke up in heaven in the morning
With the biggest smile upon my face

Love is taking over
Like a tidal wave
Our universe is aligned
Feeling the love tonight
I woke up in heaven in the morning
With the biggest smile upon my face





I woke up in heaven in the morning

This song should've been a monster hit. They did her dirty.

@a.epifanivieira5172

If the Superbowl never happened this song would have been her 11th #1 on the Bilboard Hot 100

@kevinsmithfan37

Oh is that what happened to this song.

I literally just found this song. It was sort of my musical white whale cause I couldn't remember who sung it or any of the lyrics all I knew was it it had a very bass heavy intro and it sounded britney spears-ish (in retrospect it's the other way around)

Found it tonight cause someone used it in a tiktok. It only took 20 years to find it 😂

@STHLM8

Racism! Makes me angry when I think about it!! She is still the best female performer!❤

@Jeanbrt1

Love it. We can see here that Britney was inspired so much by Janet

@Bennome

Exactly! Britney Spears was built using and modernizing Janet’s Blueprint

@thegabebarrera

Can you imagine if Britney & Janet did a collab in 2004?!?! Ooooh the music industry wouldn’t be able to recover from it! 🔥🔥🔥

@Rawla2

Yea both the Jackson’s inspired Britney along with Madonna. I miss this style of music, dance and video. The girls now days just don’t do it right

@loupcaldeira
