If you feel like I feel, you can get it tonight
But first you gotta make me say

The hit that got away. This shouldβve been one of her biggest songs ever. Itβs SO GOOD and had such a throwback vibe. Was so perfect for the time and the video is so much fun.

Sensual, elegant and classy all down the line, and keeps her clothes on! How refreshing to see a REAL WOMAN respect herself and all the rest of us, too! Great song and beat, too, of course. It's Miss Janet!
