[Intro]
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I could learn to like this

[Verse 1]
Sittin' in the movie show
Thinkin’ nasty thoughts
Better be a gentleman
Or you'll turn me off
That's right, lemme tell it

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I don’t like no nasty car
I don't like a nasty food
The only nasty thing I like
Is a nasty groove

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Hook]
Dancin' dancin'
Nasty boys nasty boys
Dancin' dancin'
Nasty boys nasty boys
Dancin' dancin'
Nasty boys nasty boys

[Breakdown]
Ooooh
What have you done for me lately?
What have you done for me lately?
Nasty
Ooooh
Nasty
I could learn to like this, listen up
I never ask for more than I deserve
You know it’s the truth
You seem to think you’re God's gift to this Earth
I’m telling you, no way
You ought to be thankful for the little things
But little things are all you seem to give
You're always putting off what we can do today
Soap opera says, you've got one life to live
Who's right, who’s wrong?
What have you done for me lately?

[Hook]
Nasty boys
Nasty boys
Nasty boys

[Outro]
Get with it
Get with it
Nasty boys
Get with it
Get with it
Nasty boys
Get with it
Get with it
Nasty boys
Get-get-get-get-get with
Get with it
Get-get-get-get-get with
Get with it
Hey! Who's that thinkin' nasty thoughts?
(Nasty boys!)
Who's that in that nasty car?
(Nasty boys!)
Who's that eatin' that nasty food?
(Nasty boys!)
Who's jammin' to my nasty groove?
(Nasty boys!)
Ladies?
Nasty boys don't mean a thing
Oh you nasty boys
Get with it
Get with it

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.
