My girls

To get to me, boy

You have to be hungry for me
[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson]
Girls may have been easy
But you have to please me
What makes me think that I can say this to you
I know how bad you want this
[Chorus: Janet Jackson]
If you want my future then

You'll be beggin' me for more
So you want my lovin', no

[Post-Chorus: Janet Jackson]
You want this, you know it's true

[Verse 3: MC Lyte & Janet Jackson]
Yo, Janet, now I'm about to kick this
You want this, but do ya really think you can get this?
At first you dissed this, now you wanna kiss this
Tell 'em, girl (Can you handle this?)
'Cause we need a man that's swift, quick and clever
Ready at the drop of a dime to whatever
Not tryin' to front or fake or save face
'Cause I'm with that there any time, any place
Tell 'em, J
[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson]
Girls may have been easy
But you have to please me
What makes me think that I can say this to you

You better work it, boy
No, it won't come easy, no
I know you want this
By the time I'm through with you
You'll be beggin' me for more
So you want my lovin', no
I know you want this
