Call on Me
Janet Jackson Lyrics

Sing it for me
Encouragement for the audience to sing along with the song

Everybody come on, y'all know what this is
Introduction to the song, inviting everyone to listen and enjoy

I don't know if I've ever felt like this before
Janet is unsure if she has ever felt this way in a romantic relationship before

But I'm sure that the way I feel
Janet is confident in the strong emotions she currently feels

I don't want it to go
Janet wants to hold onto these feelings and not let them fade away

'Cause I've cried my share of tears and I've sang my share of blues
Janet has experienced heartbreak before and does not want to feel that way again

But to keep you over here
Janet will do whatever it takes to maintain the romantic relationship

I'll do what I got to do
Janet is committed to doing whatever it takes to hold onto the person she loves

So baby call on me
Janet is offering her love and support to her partner and encouraging them to ask for help if they need it

Whether day or night
Janet is available and ready to help her partner at any time

I'll never leave
Janet promises to always be there for her partner and not abandon them

Say you don't have to be alone
Janet wants her partner to know that they don't have to face anything alone

I'll come anywhere you want
Janet is willing to go anywhere her partner needs her

Baby just pick up the phone and call on me
Janet is emphasizing how easy it is to ask for her help and that her partner should not hesitate

It's you and I
The romantic relationship is between Janet and her partner only

I wanna be your only love affair
Janet wants her partner to only have eyes for her and no one else

See there it go
Janet is excited and enthusiastic about the relationship

See there it go Mama
Janet is thrilled and proud of her love for her partner

See love, I have never met a girl that could break me down
Janet is expressing how strong and resilient she is in love

It's like I get caught in the middle
Janet feels torn between the strong emotions she feels and the fear of being hurt

I get caught up a little anytime she's around
Janet is easily swayed when her partner is present

I be posted, waitin' on standby
Janet is always ready and waiting for her partner to call on her

Lookin' to catch a hit
Janet wants to feel the same way she does now forever

I'm doin' whatever, whenever
Janet is willing to do whatever it takes to be with her partner and maintain the relationship

Never forget I said I'd be here when you want
Janet wants her partner to remember that she promised to be there for them whenever they need her

To get what you need, if you wanna receive
Janet wants her partner to communicate their needs so she can meet them

Oh, please believe you could
Janet is reassuring her partner that they can trust her to be there for them

When you need someone who cares
Janet wants to be there for her partner emotionally and offer them support and care

Say the words and I'll be here
Janet is emphasizing how easy it is for her partner to ask for help whenever they need it

I can meet you anywhere
Janet is flexible and willing to meet her partner wherever they need her

Anytime that you please
Janet is emphasizing that she is available and ready to help her partner at any time

Be whatever you want
Janet is encouraging her partner to be themselves and express their needs in the relationship

Be whatever you need
Janet is willing to meet her partner's needs to the best of her ability

Because you're the one I love baby
Janet feels strong love and affection for her partner

It don't matter where you go
Janet emphasizes that distance is not an issue in their relationship

I'll come anywhere you want me to
Janet is committed to going wherever her partner needs her

It's like anything you say, I'll do
Janet's love for her partner is so strong that she is willing to do anything they ask of her

Err'body come on
Janet is bringing everyone together to listen to the song and share in the emotions of the lyrics
