[Verse 1]
Doesn't matter what your friends are telling you
Doesn't matter what my family's saying too
It just matters that I'm in love with you
It only matters that you love me too
It doesn't matter if they won't accept you
I'm accepting of you and the things you do
Just as long as it's you
Nobody but you, baby, baby

[Pre-Chorus 1]
My love for you, unconditional love too
Gotta get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
And show you that it

[Chorus]
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I'm in love with the inner being
Doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're in love with me
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I'm in love with the inner being
Doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're nutty-nutty-nutty for me

[Post-Chorus]
You're so kind
Just what I asked for, you're so loving and kind
And you're mine
And I can't believe you're mine

[Verse 2]
Doesn't matter if you're feeling insecure
Doesn't matter if you're feeling so unsure
'Cause I'll take away the doubt within' your heart
And show that my love will never hurt or harm
Doesn't matter what the pain we go through
Doesn't matter if the money's gone too
Just as long as I'm with you
Nobody but you, baby, baby

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Your love for me, unconditional I see
Gotta get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
And show you that it

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I'm in love with the inner being
Doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're in love with me
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I'm in love with the inner being
Doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're nutty-nutty-nutty for me

[Post-Chorus]
You're so kind
Just what I asked for, you're so loving and kind
And you're mine
And I can't believe you're mine

You know I'm going to love you
'Cause my love will always

[Pre-Chorus 3]
My love for you, unconditional love too
Gotta get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
And show you that my love is true, and it's just for you

[Outro]
Nutty, nutty, nutty, my love for you
I can't believe my dreams come true
I've finally found somebody whose heart is true
And best of all is you love me too
And nutty, nutty, nutty, my love for you
I can't believe my dreams come true (I'm always doing that!)
I've finally found somebody whose heart is true
And nutty, nutty, nutty, my love for you
I can't believe my dreams come true (I'm always doing that!)
I've finally found somebody whose heart is true
And best of all is you're nutty, nutty, nutty for 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.
