[Verse 1]
I've been so alone
Ain't no fun since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Cryin' on the phone
You're the one
I got to fly to you
I got to get to you somehow

[Pre-Chorus]
Our love is tried and true
I'm a believer now
I'm still high on you
And now we're through the hardest part
Open your heart, and let's start anew

[Chorus]
Let your angel, baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now, baby, to spread these wings
Oh, what you do to me
Make my grey skies electric blue
Kiss these sad times goodbye and let's start anew

[Verse 2]
Why did I let you go? Say so long
Thought I was strong
Yes, I thought I was strong, baby
Baby, now I know, I was wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to fly to you
Make it up to you somehow
Reach for the sky with you
And never come back down
I'm still high on you
Now we're through the hardest part
Open your heart, and let's start anew

[Chorus]
And let your angel, baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now, baby, to spread these wings
Oh, what you do to me
Make my grey skies electric blue
Kiss these sad times goodbye and let's start anew

[Breakdown]

[Chorus]
Let your angel, baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now, baby, to spread these wings
Oh, what you do to me
Make my grey skies electric blue
Kiss these sad times goodbye and let's start anew, ooh
Let your angel, baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now, baby, to spread these wings
Oh, what you do to me
Make my grey skies electric blue
Kiss these sad times goodbye and let's start anew
Let your angel, baby, bring you a dream
I can't wait now

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.
