[Intro]
My lips hurt

[Chorus]
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

[Verse 1]
When you walked into the room
You knew just what to do
You could have gone from door to door
But you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet rope
And tell me fantasies
The passion in your voice I wanna hear
As you start to tell me
While you're at it take the blind fold
Tie it gently on me
Don't wanna see but feel the things
You're gonna do to me

[Chorus]
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

[Verse 2]
One in the mornin'
I'm feelin' so free and sensual
Lyin' here wearin'
Just my imagination for you
Sensation will do
Can you feel the warmth of the
Candlelight embrace your body?
I'm feelin' the hot candle wax
Drippin' down the small of my back

[Chorus]
Tie me up tie me down
Make me moan real loud
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin'
I wanna feel a soft rope burn
Wanna feel a rope burn

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.
