[Verse 1]
I heard from a friend today
And she said you were in town
Suddenly the memories came back to me in my
Mind

[Chorus]
"How can I be strong?" I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

[Verse 2]
A wounded heart you gave
My soul you took away
Good intentions you had many
I know you did
I've come from a place that hurts
And God knows how I've cried
And I never want to return
Never fall again
Making love to you
Oh, it felt so good and
Oh, so right

[Chorus]
"How can I be strong?" I've asked myself
Time and time I've said
That I'll never fall in love with you again

[Verse 3]
So here we are alone again
Didn't think it'd come to this
And to know it all began
With just a little kiss
I've come too close to happiness
To have it swept away
Don't think I can take the pain
Never fall again

[Bridge]
Kinda late in the game and my heart is in
Your hands
Don't you stand there and then
Tell me you love me then leave again
Cause I'm falling in love with
You again

[Outro]
Hold me
Hold me
Don't ever let me go
Say it just one time
Say you love me
God knows I do
Love you
Again

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.
