Janet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard you scream with eighty thousand more
But tonight, I close up my tour in your room
Know I pull 'em out of the crowd and guess who
The band is in place, the cameras are set
I make sure we tape it so you don't forget
I'ma take control, take it slow so don't move
House lights go low, spotlight up more
It's time so just sit back and enjoy the show
Time to close the curtains
Come on in the stage is set
Before the show starts mic check
Tonight is so exclusive
We should make it Pay-Per-View
Time to close the curtains
I only take requests from you
Just tell me what you want me to do
I promise you, you'll be screaming
Out at home when I'm through
Let's change the set, try some new steps
Lets take it somewhere we haven't been yet
Its gonna be kinda hard 'cause I can't always bring you
The crowd is screaming out I want more I hear you
How is your seat, can you see everything?
Baby, I don't want you miss anything
I'm a dedicate this next one to you
'Cause you my number one fan and I'm showing you love
House lights go low, spotlight up more
It's time so just sit back and enjoy the show
Time to close the curtains
Come on in the stage is set
Before the show starts mic check
Tonight is so exclusive
We should make it Pay-Per-View
Time to close the curtains
I only take requests from you
Just tell me what you want me to do
I promise you, you'll be screaming
Out at home when I'm through
Now's the perfect time for an Intermission
If you need something to drink
Better get it by now
(By now)
Gotta break it down
(By now)
'Cause I don't want some, no more
Now I call you for the end of the show
Let me slow it down
I'm not ready to get off
As the finale's done I'll open the door
Time to close the curtains
(To close the curtains, baby)
Come on in the stage is set
(Stage is set)
Before the show starts mic check
(Baby)
Tonight is so exclusive
We should make it Pay-Per-View
Time to close the curtains
I only take requests from you
Just tell me what you want me to do
I promise you, you'll be screaming
Out at home when I'm through
