[Intro: Janet]
Got til it’s gone
Got til it’s gone
Got til it’s gone
Got til it’s gone
Got til it’s gone
Got til it’s gone

[Verse 1: Janet]
Have a feeling, now believing that you
Were the one I was meant to be with
Oh how I'm wishing, thinking, dreaming
‘Bout you, and the love
How'd I ever let you get away?

[Chorus: Joni Mitchell sample]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone

[Post-Chorus: Janet + (Q-Tip)]
Gone
(What? Joni Mitchell never lies)

[Verse 2: Janet]
If I could turn back the hands of time
Make you, fall in love, in love with me again
So would you give me another chance to love
To love you, love you the right way, no games

[Chorus: Joni Mitchell sample]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
(Joni Mitchell never lies)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone

[Post-Chorus: Janet]
Got til it’s gone
Got til it’s gone

[Verse 3: Q-Tip]
I heard he swims with this chick on the beach
Cold jonesin’
Ringing my house, hanging up and imposing
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that?
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Now why you wanna go and do that and do that?

[Interlude: Janet + (Q-Tip) + Joni Mitchell sample]
Got til it’s gone (Yeah yeah)
Got til it’s gone (Never ever realize)
Got til it’s gone (Never ever realize)
Got til it’s gone (Uh, Joni Mitchell never lies)
Got til it’s gone
Got til it’s gone
(Don’t know what you got til it’s gone)
Got til it’s gone (Joni Mitchell never lies)
(Don’t know what you got til it’s gone)
Got til it’s gone
(Don’t know what you got til it’s gone)
Got til it’s gone
(Don’t know what you got til it’s gone)
Got til it’s gone
(Don’t know what you got til it’s gone)
Got til it’s gone (Joni Mitchell never lies)
(Don’t know what you got til it’s gone)
Got til it’s gone
(Don’t know what you got til it’s gone)
Got til it’s gone
(Don’t know what you got til it’s gone)
(Joni Mitchell never lies)

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.
