[Verse 1]
You've seen my show, you followed my tour
I heard you scream with eighty-thousand more
But tonight I close out my tour in your room
Know I pull 'em out of the crowd and guess who?
The band is in place, the cameras are set
I'll make sure we tape it so you don't forget
I'ma take control, take it slow so don't move
It's 'bout to go down so just wait for my cue

[Pre-Chorus]
House lights go low
Spotlight up more
It's time so
Sit back and enjoy the show

[Chorus]
Time to close the curtains
Come on in the stage is set
Before the show starts mic check
Tonight is so exclusive
We should make it pay-per-view
Time to close the curtains
I only take requests from you
Just tell me what you want me to do
I promise you, you'll be screaming out "encore" when I'm through

[Verse 2]
Let's change the set, try some new steps
Let's take it somewhere we haven't been yet
Its gon' be kinda hard 'cause I can't always bring you
The crowd is screamin' out "I want more," I hear you
How is your seat, can you see everything?
Baby, I don't want you missin' a thing
I'ma dedicate this next one to you
'Cause you're my number one fan and I'm showing you love

[Pre-Chorus]
House lights go low
Spotlight up more
It's time so
Sit back and enjoy the show

[Chorus]
Time to close the curtains
Come on in the stage is set
Before the show starts mic check
Tonight is so exclusive
We should make it pay-per-view
Time to close the curtains
I only take requests from you
Just tell me what you want me to do
I promise you, you'll be screaming out "encore" when I'm through

[Verse 3]
Now's the perfect time for an intermission
If you need somethin' to drink
Better get it right now
(Right now)
Better break it down
(Right now)
'Cause I don't wanna stop no more
Now I come upon the end of the show
Let me slow it down
I'm not ready to go
There's a finale so don't open the door

[Chorus]
Time to close the curtains
(Just close the curtains, baby)
Come on in the stage is set
(Stage is set)
Before the show starts mic check
(Baby, baby)
Tonight is so exclusive
We should make it pay-per-view
Time to close the curtains
I only take requests from you
Just tell me what you want me to do
I promise you, you'll be screaming out "encore"when I'm through

Janet Jackson

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.
