Anytime Any Place
Janet Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the thunder and rain
You stare into my eyes
I can feel your hand
Movin' up my thighs

Skirt around my waist
Wall against my face
I can feel your lips
Oooh

I don't wanna stop just because
People walkin' by are watchin' us
I don't give a damn what they think
I want you now
I don't wanna stop just because
You feel so good inside of my love
I'm not gonna stop no no no
I want you
All I wanna say is

Any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
Mmmm

Any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
Nonononono
Weeoooh-hooo
Ooooooohooo
Hoohoo

Dancin on the floor
Feelin the slow groove
My mind is startin to burn
With forbidden thoughts

Strangers all around
With the lights down low
I was thinkin' maybe we could
Well...you know

I don't wanna stop just because
People walkin' by are watchin' us
I don't give a damn what they think
I want you now
I don't wanna stop just because
You feel so good inside of my love
I'm not gonna stop no no no
I want you
All I wanna say is

Any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
Mmmm

Any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
Nonononono
Weeoooh-hooo
Ooooooohooo
Hoohoo

Any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
Mmmm

Any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
Nonononono
Weeoooh-hooo




Ooooooohooo
Hoohoo

Overall Meaning

Janet Jackson's hit song "Anytime Any Place" is a sultry and sensual track about a couple stealing a few private moments for themselves. The opening lines set the scene during a thunderstorm where the lovers stare deeply into each other's eyes while he touches her thighs. The intensity of their passion is further emphasised when she describes how he holds her against the wall and kisses her. The chorus of the song is a declaration of her love for him, no matter where they are or who is around them; she wants him anytime and anyplace.


The last verse of the song sees Jackson describe how their dancing has kindled illicit thoughts and she suggests that perhaps they could escape together. The final chorus is a reaffirmation of their feelings for each other, Jackson seems to be saying that no matter what obstacles they face, their passion for each other will endure. The song is all about escaping social norms and expectations and existing purely for the moments of pleasure that life can bring.


The lyrics of "Anytime Any Place" can be interpreted in many ways - it's a song about living in the moment, about seizing opportunities for passion when they arise, and about giving in to our desires.

Janet knew how to incorporate sexy, classy, yet freaky all at the same time. I just love her!

Absolutely!

@theresad.childs8115

If you watch her docudrama, it was her man, Renee who directed this video and pushed her on this video.

@EthnicModel

@@theresad.childs8115 yeah I watched it and he definitely brought out that side of her in her music and her look.
