[Verse 1]
Love, my love
I regret the day you went away
I was too young to understand my love
But now I realise my mistakes

[Chorus]
Where, where are you now?
Now that I'm ready to
Ready to love you
The way you loved me then
Where are you now?
Do you still think of me?
Or does your heart belong to someone else's

[Verse 2]
Love, oh my love
I wonder if sometimes were you just a dream
I sit in the dark wondering if our paths will ever cross again
Oh Lord, I need to know
I sit and wonder

[Chorus]
Where, where are you now?
Now that I'm ready to
Ready to love you
The way you loved me then
Where are you now?
Do you still think of me?
Or does your heart belong to someone else's

[Post-Chorus]
If I close my eyes and make a wish
When they open
Will you be right here with me?
Where are you now?
Now that I'm ready to
Ready to love you
The way you loved me then

[Bridge]
Could it be that two people were meant to be, yeah, yeah
In my dreams that's what I feel
Could it be that I'll never see you again?
My love that was so true
Still I sit here waiting all alone by the phone for you
Now I understand, now I understand
You said I love you
I sit and wonder

[Chorus]
Where? Where are you now?
Now that I'm ready to
Ready to love you
The way you loved me then
Where are you now?
Do you still think of me?
Or does your heart belong to someone else's

[Post Chorus]
(If I close my eyes)
If I close my eyes, (If I make a wish)
And I make a wish
(Tell me baby, Tell me baby)
When they open will you be right here with me
(Where are you now?)
Where are you now? (Where are you now?)
Now that I'm ready to, (ready to, ready to)
Ready to love you the way you loved me then
(I came looking for you)
Where are you now?
(Making exception for you)
Do you still think of me?
(I came looking for you)
Or does your heart belong to someone else's
(well, my baby you know what you do to me)
Where are you now?
(...you now?)

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.
