[Intro]
What'll I do for satisfaction?
Honey, you take care of me now
If you leave I can't make it
Darlin' please, don't you put me down

[Chorus]
'Cause what'll I do for satisfaction?
If you take away your heart
'Cause what'll I do for satisfaction?
When that funny, funny feeling's gone
Oh, what'll I do?

[Verse 1]
I can't take no more of missin' you
I don't know just what I'm gonna do
How can I love another?
You don't know just what you mean to me

[Chorus]
'Cause what'll I do for satisfaction?
If you take away, away your heart
What'll I do for satisfaction?
When my nights start to gettin' long

[Ad lib]
Oh no no
Boy, I love you
Wanna hold you
Love hey yea yea

[Verse 2]
Your love's strong, that's no lie
And I hate, I hate to put it down
But if you, you leave me now
You won't want, want me hangin' around

[Chorus]
'Cause what'll I do for satisfaction?
If you take away, away your heart
What'll I do for satisfaction?
When that funny, funny feeling's gone

[Breakdown]
Oh, I need you now
What'll I do baby?
What'll I do baby?
What'll I do baby?
What'll I do baby?
What'll I do babe?
I said a naa naa naa

[Outro]
Hey hey hey
That's what I say
Hey hey hey
That's what I say
Can you want me?
What'll I do, babe?
Can you love me?
What'll I do, baby?
I said a naa naa naa
I said a naa naa naa
I said a naa naa naa
I said a naa naa naa

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.
