[Verse 1]
I'm laying here, I'm wondering
When I'm gonna be wrapped up in your arms again
It's almost like eternity
'Cause seconds feel like hours when you're gone from me

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, even though you were just by my side
I'm so missin' you, yeah yeah
And I know that I have you to myself
When you come home

[Chorus]
And it seems like days go by
It feels like I'm so lost without you
And I don't really know what to do
The hands of time
Won't move when I'm away from you
And I don't really know what to do

[Verse 2]
I try to wait patiently
But everything is taking way too long, and I
I just wanna be with you
I'm trying to see it through
It's not fair

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna be alone another day
It's just too miserable, it's true
And baby, I have learned
When you're far away, time stands still

[Chorus]
And it seems like days go by
It feels like I'm so lost without you
And I don't really know what to do
The hands of time
Won't move when I'm away from you
And I don't really know what to do
Days go by
It feels like I'm so lost without you
And I don't really know what to do
The hands of time
Won't move when I'm away from you
And I don't really know what to do

[Breakdown]

[Chorus]
And it seems like days go by
It feels like I'm so lost without you
And I don't really know what to do
The hands of time
Won't move when I'm away from you
And I don't really know what to do
Days go by
It feels like I'm so lost without you
And I don't really know what to do
The hands of time
Won't move when I'm away from you
And I don't really know what to do

Janet Damita Jo Jackson is an iconic R&B/pop artist who has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has amassed a number of awards in her illustrious music career.

Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet is the youngest of the Jackson family, who rose to prominence a few years after her birth when they signed with Motown Records. Janet joined the family business when she appeared on The Jacksons variety show in 1976, leading to her role as Penny Gordon in Season 5 of the CBS sitcom Good Times. She released two overlooked albums in the early 1980s—Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984)—and continued to act during this time, appearing in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame.

The legend of Janet was created after she connected with the legendary Minneapolis production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to work on her seminal third album, Control. Control and her following album, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured several #1 pop hits and made her a worldwide superstar. The trio would go on work on Janet’s subsequent hit albums, including janet., The Velvet Rope, as well as her 2015 comeback album, Unbreakable.
