[Intro: Janet Jackson]
Excuse me
It goes on and on, it goes on and on
It goes on and on, it goes on and on
It goes on and on, it goes on and on
Haha
It goes on and on, it goes on and on

[Verse 1: Coolio]
I wanna runaway with you
So, let a brother know what if want it, too
Keep it on the low and play it cool
Do all the the things that you wanna do
I place the world at your feet like Luther, baby
Me and you together like Duke and Daisy
Bendin' corners in the hood in a six-trey
C and J on a runaway, b-b-b-baby

[Verse 2: Janet Jackson]
I've seen the world, been to many places
Made lots of friends, many different races

[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson]
I've had such fun around the world it's true
African skies with a Nairobi mood
Oh, I fell asleep in Tuscany and dreamed
The one thing missing was you

[Chorus: Janet Jackson]
Runaway with me my love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Runaway with me my love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson]
I woke up with an Australian breeze
And danced the dance with Aborigines
Oh under the moon glow down in Mexico I dreamed
One thing was missing that's you

[Chorus: Janet Jackson]
Runaway with me my love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Runaway with me my love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3: Coolio]
Me and you, baby, in a droptop six hittin' dips
Stylistics in the mix
Strollin' down the strip, eatin' banana splits
Come and give your daddy a kiss *muah*
Damn, it feel good to be your man
My name ain't Paul McCartney but I wanna hold your hand
C and J around the planet in two minutes flat
And once you run away it ain't no coming back

[Verse 4: Janet Jackson]
We'll sail the waters of many colors
We won't need a compass, love will guide our way
Don't need nobody, as long as we got each other
No need to hurry, we've got everyday

[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson]
I wanna share the world with you, you see
Spring time in Paris feels so good to me
Oh, this is for me reality
So please make all my wishes come true

[Chorus: Janet Jackson]
Runaway with me my love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro: Janet Jackson]
And I just know we'll have a good time (Yeah, my love)
And I just know we'll have a good time (Yeah, my love)
Oh, just come with me
And I just know we'll have a good time (Yeah, my love)
Ooh, ooh, yeah
And that was just completely wrong
And I just know we'll have a good time (Yeah, yeah)
Didn't quite hit the note, that wasn't such a good time
And I just know we'll have a good time (Yeah)
Don't you think so? (Yeah) I do
And I just know we'll have a good time (Yeah)

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.
