Janet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starin' in your face
With lust in my eyes
Sure don't give a damn and ya
Don't know that I've been dreamin' of ya
In my fantasies
Never once you looked at me
Don't even realize that I'm wantin' you
Let your mind free
Run free to a place no one dares to
How many nights I've laid in bed excited over you
I've closed my eyes and thought of us a hundred different ways
I've gotten there so many times I wonder how 'bout you
Day and night, night and day
All I've got to say is
If I was your girl, oh, the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't
Then I won't
But if I was your girl
Allow me some time to play with your mind
And you'll get there again and again
Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed
Take your time, 'cause we've got all night, ooh
You on the rise as you're touchin' my thighs and
Let me know what you like
If you like I'll go down, da-down, down, down, da-down, down
I'll hold you in my hand and baby
Your smooth and shiny
Feels so good against my lips, sugar
I want you so bad, I can taste your love right now, baby
Day and night, night and day
All I've got to say is
If I was your girl, oh, the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't
Then I won't
But if I was your girl
If I was your girl, oh, the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't
Then I won't
But if I was your girl
I've laid in bed excited over you
One hundred different ways I've thought ya
Many, many
(Day and night, night and day)
All I got to say is
If I was your girl, oh, the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't
Then I won't
But if I was your girl
If I was your girl, oh, the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't
Then I won't
But if I was your girl
If I was your girl, oh, the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not
The lyrics of Janet's song 'If' are about unrequited love, lust and the yearning for physical intimacy, in which the singer (presumably a woman) is attracted to someone who doesn't even know they exist. The first verse describes the intensity of the singer's desire and longing towards the object of their affection, wishing they could fulfill their needs and wants. The second verse takes on a more seductive and suggestive tone, with the singer describing in detail what she would do to the person if she were to be with them. However, she ultimately admits that she is not their girl and cannot fulfill these desires.
The chorus emphasizes this theme of unfulfilled longing, with the singer imagining what they would do if only they could have the person they are attracted to. The bridge takes on a more playful and teasing tone, encouraging the person to let their mind run free and imagine what could be.
Overall, the lyrics of 'If' are about the complex mix of desire, fantasy, and frustration that often accompanies unrequited love. The singer yearns for physical intimacy with someone who may never even know they exist, and the song captures the intense emotional rollercoaster that comes with this kind of experience.
Line by Line Meaning
Sittin' over here
I am sitting here, close to you
Starin' in your face
Looking directly at your face with fascination
With lust in my eyes
With a strong desire for you
Sure don't give a damn and ya
I don't care what you think about me
Don't know that I've been dreamin' of ya
You are unaware that I have been dreaming about you
In my fantasies
In my imaginary scenarios
Never once you looked at me
You have never given me any attention
Don't even realize that I'm wantin' you
You are completely oblivious to the fact that I desire you
To fulfill my needs, think what you want
I want you to satisfy my desires, regardless of what you may think
Let your mind free
Allow yourself to let go and be free
Run free to a place no one dares to
Let your mind wander to a place where you have never been
How many nights I've laid in bed excited over you
I have eagerly thought of you many nights while in bed
I've closed my eyes and thought of us a hundred different ways
I have imagined us in numerous ways with my eyes closed
I've gotten there so many times I wonder how 'bout you
I have reached a certain point with my imaginations and I wonder if you have too
Day and night, night and day
Constantly thinking of you every moment
All I've got to say is
The only thing I have to say about this is
If I was your girl, oh, the things I'd do to you
If we were in a romantic relationship, I would do unimaginable things to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
I would make you say my name and question who you belong to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
If I were the one you were romantically involved with, I would do wild and adventurous things to you
But I'm not, so I can't
But since I am not your partner, I am not able to do those things to you
Then I won't
Because of that, I will not do those things
Allow me some time to play with your mind
Let me have the chance to stimulate your thoughts
And you'll get there again and again
If you give me the opportunity, I can consistently take you to that heightened state
Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed
Visualize me without clothes on with your eyes shut
Take your time, 'cause we've got all night, ooh
Take your time because we have plenty of time
You on the rise as you're touchin' my thighs and
The sensation of your touch is arousing me
Let me know what you like
Tell me what you enjoy
If you like I'll go down, da-down, down, down, da-down, down
If you prefer, I will perform oral sex
I'll hold you in my hand and baby
I will hold your genitals in my hand and...
Your smooth and shiny
Your genitals are attractive and glossy
Feels so good against my lips, sugar
The sensation of your genitals is amazing against my lips
I want you so bad, I can taste your love right now, baby
I want you so badly, I can already imagine the physical affection between us
Many, many
Many, many times I have thought about this

This version of Janet was the iconic mother to all female artists that came after her, white or black. She and her brother shaped generations of artists.

@jan.s.buriak
honestly i might like this Janet era more than Velvet Rope era Janet even if i consider TVR the better album and a masterpiece (you guys should always listen to it AT LEAST once a day) but like when it comes to her visage/image self-titled Janet is just so sexy...
