[Refrain: Janet Jackson]
Ha, ha, who, who
Thought you'd get the money too
Greedy motherfuckers
Try to have their cake and eat it too
Son of a gun
Son of a gun

[Intro: Carly Simon, Janet Jackson]
You're such a romantic hero
The way you dress and look yourself over
It's no wonder you would ponder that image
Of your preening self in the mirror
Go on

[Verse 1: Janet Jackson]
Sharpshooter into breakin' hearts
A baby gigolo, a sex pistol
Hollerin' at everything that walks
No substance, just small talk
Know why you're feelin' on that girl's behind
You got a sleazy, one track mind
Workin' your work until you think you find
Who's goin' home with you tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson]
Oh, who you gonna give it to?
Who you gonna steal it from?
Who's your next victim?
Oh, who you gonna lie to?
Who you gonna cheat on?
Who you gonna leave alone?
Oh, what you gonna tell her after she discovers
You don't really love her?
Oh, it's gonna be a showdown, knock down, drag out
Gun-slingin' shoot 'em up

[Chorus: Carly Simon & Janet Jackson]
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you, don't you?

[Refrain: Janet Jackson]
Ha, ha, who, who
Thought you'd get the money too
Greedy motherfuckers
Try to have their cake and eat it too
Son of a gun
Son of a gun

[Interlude: Janet Jackson, Carly Simon]
You tell 'em, Carly
Clouds in my coffee
Go on
Clouds in my coffee

[Refrain: Janet Jackson]
Ha, ha, who, who
Thought you'd get the money too
Greedy motherfuckers
Try to have their cake and eat it too
Son of a gun
Son of a gun

[Verse 2: Janet Jackson]
Sweatin' me but I'm not your type
You think you irkin' me and you're so right
I'd rather keep the trash and throw you out
Stupid bitch in my beach house
No, I ain't gonna go and act a fool
And be the lead story on the nigga news
Never me, sucker, I'd never be your lover
I'd rather make you suffer, you stupid motherfucker

[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson]
Oh, who you gonna give it to?
Who you gonna steal it from?
Who's your next victim?
Oh, who you gonna lie to?
Who you gonna cheat on?
Who you gonna leave alone?
Oh, what you gonna tell her after she discovers
You don't really love her?
Oh, it's gonna be a showdown, knockdown, drag out
Gun-slingin' shoot em up

[Chorus: Carly Simon & Janet Jackson]
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you, don't you?

[Refrain: Janet Jackson]
Ha, ha, who, who
Thought you'd get the money too
Greedy motherfuckers
Try to have their cake and eat it too
Son of a gun
Son of a gun

[Interlude: Janet Jackson, Carly Simon]
You tell 'em, Carly
Clouds of various shapes and sizes
Most guys like to evaluate their prizes
All right now
We come with so many different tricks
The apricot scarf was worn by Nick
Nothing in the words refer to Mick

[Bridge: Janet Jackson, Carly Simon]
Got a chip upon your shoulder, I just knocked it off
Show me what you're gonna do, I ain't 'bout to run
You have just run out of ammunition
I'm storm cloud, baby
Shootin' blanks now, you son of a gun
You can roll like thunder all over me

[Pre-Chorus: Janet Jackson, Carly Simon]
Oh, who you gonna give it to?
Who you gonna steal it from?
Who's your next victim?
No, no, no, no, no
Oh, who you gonna lie to?
It's not what you say, its what you do
Who you gonna cheat on?
Who you gonna leave alone?
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
Oh, what you gonna tell her after she discovers
You don't really love her?
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Oh, its gonna be a showdown, knockdown, drag down
Gun slugger shoot em up

[Chorus: Carly Simon, Janet Jackson]
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
Yeah yeah yeah
I betcha think this song is about you
I bet you think
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
Don't you
I betcha think this song is about you
I bet you
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you, don't you?
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
Yeah yeah yeah
I betcha think this song is about you
Bet you think
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
Don't you
I betcha think this song is about you
I bet you
I betcha think this song is about you
I betcha think this song is about you
Don't you, don't you, don't you?

[Outro: Janet Jackson, Carly Simon]
I'm gone
Son of a gun
Go on
Janet and me, thick as thieves
Never met jet but I'll venture a bet
There's a common threat to our common dream
Tell 'em, Carly
And if it wasn't for that damned cream
There'd be no clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee
Ha ha ha ha ha
Who do you think you are, Rambo?
Or a cumulonimbus capillatus or a cirrus or an altostratus?
Somebody to make somebody like me proud
You tell 'em, Carly
In the encyclopedia of clouds?
Alright now
No no no no
It's not what you say, it's what you do
You're so vain
Go on
You probably think this song is about you
You tell 'em, Carly
You probably think this song is about you
Don't hurt him now
Yeah, you probably think this song is about you
That's my girl
Is about you
Go on
Is about you
Go on
Is about you
You probably think this song is about you
You son of a gun
Son of a gun
Son of a gun
Son of a gun

Janet Jackson

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.
