[Verse 1: Heavy D]
It's alright, uh
Don't worry about a thing
Whatever happens, whatever may come, whatever may be
It's cool, I got it covered, beloved, from A to Z
I'm the overweight lover, Heavy bon-diddley-D
And you can flip on a trip but it's alright with me
If things were meant to be, to be and be meant
And what I'm here to represent is excellence
If you need any help, open your eyes
And it's Heavy D that you will see 'cause you're alright with me

[Interlude: Janet Jackson]

Alright with me
Wait, wait, wait

[Verse 2: Heavy D]
Now be it thick as a milkshake
Or thin as a cornflake
I love you to death but I ain't pressed for the heartbreak
And anyway, who cares about what other people talk about?
I'd rather hear it from the horse's mouth
See, I believe in, being believed in
No love lives, no low tides, it's all paper thin
But watch for the trickery, some people are slippery
They appear making history, disappear like a mystery
It ain't your fault but you're a walking bank vault
Some people unliked make love as bitter as salt
They say what they want to say
Play how they want to play
But you got to live your life day by day
In order to survive you overlook and overcome
Selfish attitude or lack of gratitude for the dumb
It ain't easy being you and everything you wanna be
But whatever you do is alright with me
The bon-diddly-dee
The overweight lover MC, the cap
The rap, the hand clap, foot tap
Heavy D, dee, dee, dee

[Outro: Janet Jackson]
1, 2, 3, 4
Wait
Cut
I'm just dancing my butt off
I'm just dancing my butt off
I'm just dancing my butt off
I'm just dancing my butt off
I'm just dancing my butt off
I'm just dancing my butt off
I love that, I love that, I love that
I'm just dancing my butt off
Hahahaha
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1
I love, I love, I love that
Cut, cut, cut
Don't embarrass me
I'm just dancing my butt off
I'm just dancing my butt off
I'm just dancing my butt off
I love that, hahahaha

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.
