[Verse 1]
Not too pleased with what you're diggin'
I'm just busy livin' my life
"Sources say," but where ya gettin' it?
Don't create the truth you like

[B-Section]
It might sound strange to you
But what you think it don't mean nothing at all
Doesn't change who I am
Doesn't change who I love

[Chorus]
Living my life
The way that I hope
Is leading me to
The great forever
Forever I will choose
Watch what I'm doing
Watch where I'm going
Tryin' to get to
The great forever
Forever is the truth

[Verse 2]
If you wrong would you admit it?
And take the heat up under the lights
Use your expert criticism
Then maybe you could get a life
Don't like seeing people happy
Is it jealousy or personal?
Cause I don't see why loving someone
Or what I do seem so radical to you

[B-Section]
Still it might sound strange to you
But what you think it don't mean nothing at all
Doesn't change who I am
Doesn't change who I love

[Chorus]
Living my life
The way that I hope
Is leading me to
The great forever
Forever I will choose
Watch what I'm doing
Watch where I'm going
Tryin' to get to
The great forever
Forever is the truth

[Bridge Break]
Once you know why you're here
It becomes crystal clear
To love someone is divine
That empty hole in your heart
It will tear you apart
Because hate will only divide
(Bless you)

[Bridge]
Hey hey hey hey
Nah nah nah nah nah
Hey
Nah nah
It's sad when you take such a beautiful thing
Blow it up and call it the news
It's not ok still I hope that one day
You'll find the great forever too
(L.U.T.F.A.)

[Chorus]
Living my life
The way that I hope
Is leading me to
The great forever
Forever I will choose
Watch what I'm doing
Watch where I'm going
Tryin' to get to
The great forever
Forever is the truth

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.
