[Verse 1]
Feels like I'm goin' in circles
You're like a maze I can't get through
Should I go left? Should I go right?
Should I let you stay for the night?
It's like a seesaw when it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up, this girl is down
And I just can't figure it out

[Chorus]
'Cause you know that I want you
And you know that I need you
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin'
These tears - can you wipe 'em?
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me

[Verse 2]
I'm goin' out with guys I don't wanna go
To places that I've been before
They pitchin' the same game
Boy, it's a damn shame
How I wish it was you callin' me
I want it to be you holdin' me
Boy, it needs to be you kissin' me
'Cause it's like a seesaw, when it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up, this girl is down
And I just can't figure it out

[Chorus]
'Cause you know that I want you
And you know that I need you
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin'
These tears - can you wipe 'em?
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me

[Bridge]
Listen
Have your way with me anytime, anywhere
Have your way however, I don't care
Have your way with me
And you can have it tonight
Tonight, tonight, boy, tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause you know that I want you
And you know that I need you
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin'
These tears - can you wipe 'em?
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
'Cause you know that I want you
And you know that I need you
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin'
These tears - can you wipe 'em?
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me

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.
