[Verse 1]
Our friends think we're opposites
Falling in and out of love
They all said we'd never last
Still we manage to stay together

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no easy explanation for it
But whenever there's a problem
We always work it out somehow
Work it out somehow

[Chorus]
They said it wouldn't last
We had to prove them wrong
'Cause I've learned in the past
That love will never do without you

[Verse 2]
Other guys have tried before
To replace you as my lover
Never did I have a doubt
Boy, it's you I can't do without

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel better when I have you near me
'Cause no other love around
Has quite the same ooh ooh (Ha ha ha!)
Like you do do do do, babe

[Chorus]
They said it wouldn't last
We had to prove them wrong
'Cause I've learned in the past
That love will never do without you
Do without you
Love will never do without you

[Bridge]
Woo, do without you

Sha-uh, ah, uh-uh, it will never do without you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, go on...

Sing
Never do now, ooh
Love will never do
Love will never do, love will never do
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah

What?!

[Outro]
Woo, hey, what do you want?
If you believe in love say...

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.
