[Intro]
I've been waiting for you
No, please, don't say anything
There's something I want to say to you
Remember
When I said someday we'd be together
Well someday is tonight

[Verse 1]
Here we are, just you and me
Got something for you baby, wait and see
No need to worry, come follow me
I don't want you to think about anything else tonight
We've been together for quite sometime
Now I know that your love is mine
No more fantasizing of how it would be
'Cause tonight all your dreams come true

[Chorus]
Ready to give all my love, won't hold back
Someday is tonight
Let me make your dreams come true, don't hold back
Someday is tonight

[Verse 2]
You know I promised I'd be worth the wait
Now the wait is over baby, please don't hesitate
Boy, you make me tremble with your warm caress
I never knew I could feel this way
No more fantasizing you'll ever have to do
'Cause tonight baby, all your dreams come true
I want you so bad, I can taste it
I'm yours if you want me

[Chorus]
Ready to give all my love, won't hold back
Someday is tonight
Let me make your dreams come true, don't hold back
Someday is tonight
Ready to give all my love, won't hold back
Someday is tonight
Let me make your dreams come true, don't hold back
Someday is tonight

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.
