[Verse 1]
The energy I see, the silence that you speak
The lust within my dreams, and what it says to me
This full heart of mine, you just can't empty

[Chorus]
So come and lay with me, China love
How pleasant life will be, China love
As the sun retires, our love will transpire
Make love to me, China love

[Verse 2]
I see the sunshine, when I look into your eyes
They speak of worlds gone by, we loved another time
My heart was empty till you came to be

[Chorus]
(Baby come inside me)
So come and lay with me, China love
How pleasant life will be, China love
As the sun retires, our love will transpire
Make love to me, China love

[Bridge]
China love
China love

[Chorus]
(Baby come inside me)
So come and lay with me, China love
How pleasant life would be, China love
As the sun retires, our love will transpire
(Baby come inside me)
So come and lay with me, China love
How pleasant life would be, China love
As the sun retires, our love will transpire

[Outro]
Make love to me, China love
Make love to me, China love
Make love to me, China love

Janet Jackson

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.
