[Verse 1]
Sleep, my love
Don't you worry
You just sleep, my love
And I'll stroke your hair
Oh, the sunlight on your face
As the day begins to break

[Verse 2]
When you wake and your smile meets mine, ah
My day begins
You're my inspiration
Seeing your face glow is the nicest of hellos

[Chorus]
Five 'til noon, you sneak up from behind
Kiss and caress me, make love to my mind
A whisper and a kiss from you warms my heart
Means so much
Making love our way begins
Early in the day

[Verse 3]
Feel your love
Spread through me when you kiss my lips
More than words can say, oh
Seeing your face glow is the nicest of hellos

[Chorus]
Five 'til noon, you sneak up from behind
Kiss and caress me, make love to my mind
A whisper and a kiss from you warms my heart
Means so much
Making love our way begins
Early in the day

[Verse 4]
You walk in the room, in a sunset sort of mood
My emotions light up 'cause of you
Now that evening's come we're dressed for us, my love
Wine and candles puts us in a sexy mood

That's when we get to it, close our eyes
Feel our way though it, I can't wait to groove ya
'Cause you sure know how to move it
You've made love to my mind
Now you gotta take me from behind
Just like in the movies when the action begins
Let's put on a show
(Can't you feel it?)
And we'll take it nice and slow
(Can't you feel it?)
Oh, here we go
(Can't you feel it?)
Tell me do you want the blindfold?
(Can't you feel it?)
Tell me what you like
(Can't you feel it?)
Baby, should I do it once or twice?
(Can't you feel it?)
I know that we've getting' naughty
(Can't you feel it?)
But I know you like it like that

Now that we felt this warm explosion
I know you're satisfied
(I know you're satisfied)
I see it in your eyes
(I see it in your eyes)
Relax, be still, my love
(Still my love)
Let your heart slow down
(Heart slow down)
'Cause I'm not through my dear
Don't stop

Remember twenty foreplay
Can you feel it?
Twenty foreplay
I need it, twenty foreplay
I need it, twenty foreplay
You know I need it
Yes, I need it 24 hours a day
Can you feel it?
24 hours a day
Can you feel it?
Twenty foreplay
Not yet
It's not what you say
Before we start to play
It's what you say after
That makes me want to stay

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.
