Janet Jackson - Unbreakable Album Lyrics

---

Unbreakable

Set one
I live through my mistakes
It's just a part of growing
And never for a single moment
Did I ever go without your love
You made me feel wanted
I wanna tell you how important
You are to me, love

Truth is, truth is that I wouldn't be here
Without the love I stand on
Anytime I get lost in the world
You'll always be there
To care and share
In the joy and the pain, oh
Our love won't change

And what I share with you
Ever sacred, everlasting
The greatest love for me
I love you
And it's pure
And it will endure
The world can't break down
The connection
Cause our love is divine
And it's unbreakable

Faithful love that I will always keep first
My heart will never be hurt
Family that walks through fire for me
So I don't get burn
Fans and friends chime in
To a love that's true blue
I dedicate myself to you

And what I share with you
Ever sacred, everlasting
The greatest love for me
I love you
And it's pure
And it will endure
The world can't break down
The connection
Cause our love is divine
And it's unbreakable

What I share with you,
Ever sacred, everlasting
The greatest love for me
I love you
And it's pure
And it will endure
The world can't break down
The connection
Cause our love is divine
And it's unbreakable

Cause our love is divine,
And it's unbreakable
Cause our love divine,
And it's unbreakable

Love

(Fans and friends)
Hello
(Fans and friends)
It's been a while
(Fans and friends)
Lot's to talk about
(Fans and friends)
I'm glad you're still here
(I dedicate myself to you)
I hope you enjoy

Dammn Baby

Ya same ol' song
Is draggin me down
Not good for my body
Change it up
Cuz it ain't nothing like
Having your own ID
My lanes been stuck
I've never been afraid
To swich oh no not me
And they show me love
For being original

And tell 'em make room
Shake the room
Bang bang ya gon gon get it
You gotta get up off that grey line
And can't nobody tell you
What you can't do
Shut that down automatic
And I'll guarantee they'll fall in line
Watch 'em all go

Dammn baby baby, watch 'em all go
Dammn baby baby, watch 'em all go
Dammn baby baby, watch 'em all go
Dammn baby baby

A brend new movement
That started with a
Conversation in a café
It's all about love
And how we ain't gon never let
Words get in the way
When you're giving it up
It's never what you say
It sayin' what you do
You wanna show me love
Let's keep that conversation honey

And tell 'em make room
Shake the room
Bang bang ya gon gon get it
You gotta get up off that grey line
And can't nobody tell you
What you can't do
Shut that down automatic
And I'll guarantee they'll fall in line
Watch 'em all go

Dammn baby baby, watch 'em all go
Dammn baby baby, watch 'em all go
Dammn baby baby, watch 'em all go
Dammn baby baby

Gonna break it down, break it down, break it down
Gonna break it down, break it down
Gonna break it down, break it down
Watching them all go dammn
Watching them all go dammn
Watching them all go dammn baby
Watching them all go

And tell 'em make room
Shake the room
Bang bang ya gon gon get it
You gotta get up off that grey line
And can't nobody tell you

Shut that down automatic
And I'll guarantee they'll fall in line
Watch 'em all go

Dammn baby baby, watch 'em all go

The Great Forever

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

It might sound strange to you
What you think it don't mean nothing at all
Doesn't change who I am
Doesn't change who I love

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

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

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

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

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)

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.)

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

Shoulda Known Better

A baby girl without a home
Tragedy's reign left her alone
I guess I shoulda known better
But she's a citizen of the world
A right to life her cry's unheard
I guess I shoulda known better
Why why why why

Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better

Headlines are real or just the news
Between the lines there's human truth
I guess I shoulda known better
Each day I'm faced with irony but
Just can't feel casual about casualties no
I guess I shoulda known better
I guess I shoulda known better
Why why why why

Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better

It's never the critic that counts
Cause critics only wanna talk
While enlightened minds and open hearts
Together make this world a better place

Awakening a better choice
It only starts if you lift your voice
And say I shoulda known better
And so next time I'll know better
Why why why why

Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better

I had this great epiphany
And rhythm nation was the dream
I guess next time I'll know better

Broken Hearts Heal

It was a long long time ago
But I remember it like yesterday
Amazing times while we were growing
Round all the brightest stars the world had seen
We made-up songs to do our chores to
And harmonized while we all did our part
Danced and sang our way through most anything
Always felt safe in each others' love

It was in summer that you left me
The fall and winter never felt so cold
And Lord knows words can never express it
Life feels so empty I miss you much
Painful tears like never before
We can't laugh together till we cry
But our love's ain't no material thing
Inshaallah, see you in the next life

Broken hearts heal
Stronger
Broken hearts last
Longer
Broken hearts heal
Stronger
Ooh ooh ooh
La da da da la la

But our love ain't no material thing
Inshaallah, see you in the next life
It was a long long time ago
But yet it seems just like yesterday
Such amazing times while growing up
Always felt safe in each others' love
It was a long long time ago
The fall and winter felt so cold
But our love ain't no material thing
Inshaallah, see you in the next life
But our love is so much more than just material
Til the next life, inshaallah

Night

I woke up in Heaven in the morning
With the biggest smile upon my face

Cross the other side of bliss
Proof that Heaven does exist
I'm offering my gratitude
For what is meant to be
Is 'bout to break thru

Love is taking over
Like a tidal wave
Our universe is aligned
Feeling the love tonight
Love is taking over
Showing us the way
Darkness starts to fade
After the love tonight
I woke up in Heaven in the morning
With the biggest smile upon my face

Way beyond the highest high
Feel love pumping thru your body
Gonna redefine our attitudes
Like you better be good to me
And I better be good to you

Love is taking over
Like a tidal wave
Our universe is aligned
Feeling the love tonight
Love is taking over
Showing us the way
Darkness starts to fade
After the love tonight
Plush

I woke up in Heaven in the morning
With the biggest smile upon my face

Love is taking over
Like a tidal wave
Our universe is aligned
Feeling the love tonight
I woke up in Heaven in the morning
With the biggest smile upon my face
I woke up in Heaven in the morning

No Sleeep (Remix)

[Janet Jackson (J. Cole):]
You're missing me (yeah that's nice)
I'm missing you (just a lil more)
Whenever we meet (yeah that's right)
We ain't gonna get no sleep (yeah that's nice)
When I get to be (just a lil more)
Together with you (yeah that's right)
It's fate I complete (yeah)
We ain't gonna get no sleep (uh, no sleep)

[Janet Jackson:]
A vision rolling round in my head, but I don't really talk about it
I'm loving what you're doing to me and I don't wanna do without it
Day and night, I dream of us doing whatever
But I guess I'll have to wait until that day comes

[Janet Jackson (J. Cole):]
You're missing me, I'm missing you
Whenever we meet, we ain't gonna get no sleep (same time, just a lil more, just a lil more, now, just a lil more now)
When I get to be together with you
It's fate I complete (just a lil more, now, just a lil more now), we ain't gonna get no sleep

[Janet Jackson:]
48 hours in love, It oughta be a weekend marathon
So you better get ready, my king, cause I'ma be the queen of insomnia
Stay wide awake for every moment we spend together
Cause every second you're away feels like forever

[Janet Jackson (J. Cole):]
You're missing me, I'm missing you
Whenever we meet, we ain't gonna get no sleep (same time, just a lil more, just a lil more, now, just a lil more now)
When I get to be together with you
It's fate I complete (just a lil more, now, just a lil more now), we ain't gonna get no sleep

[Janet Jackson:]
Don't have time to sleep, but we can dream
So think outside the box, my baby
Show me how much you are missing me
I'll read between the lines and I sure hope it rains

[Janet Jackson (J. Cole):]
Cole world (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah (turned up the volume up a lil bit, up a lil bit, yeah that's nice)
We ain't gonna get no sleep (we not, just a lil more, just a lil more, now, just a lil more now)
We ain't gonna get no sleep (we not, just a lil more, just a lil more, now, just a lil more now)
We ain't gonna get no sleep

[J. Cole (Janet Jackson):]
I go my way, you go yours
You taste real life, I taste tours
Sweet at first, but after a while
Too much sugar they say is bad for your smile
And I wear a frown now, cause I miss real
I miss a warm house, and home cooked meals
And you miss junk food, that's why we work
You bring cooked food and I bring desert
Uh, and meet up at the place that we always do
The one swimming through my mind, that was always you
Our time together has inspired a song or two
Or three, or four, or more, mi amor
I'm sure, either you're the one or I'm caught in the matrix
Staying up for hours while we talk and get wasted
Not from weed smoke, uh, this cheap wine
Drunk off love we both feel deep down
But too scared to say cause we know how this seems
Thinking, maybe we'd be better off friends with benefits
For the moment this adrenaline, got me feeling like a kid again
Butterflies like MJ, had to fit it in
My schedule, check the bezel, gotta escape by six
Damn, how'd it get so late so quick?
The sun rising (already?) until the next time
I love diving in your mind and coming out with every diamond I can find
No sleep, no sleep

[Janet Jackson (J. Cole):]
You're missing me, I'm missing you
Whenever we meet, we ain't gonna get no sleep (we not, just a lil more, just a lil more, now, just a lil more now)
When I get to be together with you
It's fate I complete (just a lil more, now, just a lil more now) we ain't gonna get no sleep (no sleep)

Dream Maker / Euphoria

Wish I could create a perfect place
(Wouldn't that be perfect someday)
Without jealousy, abuse or hate
(And all just living off love)
And I'm never giving up
Because I wanna master love
Cause the world is just so beautiful
I just wanna see it come to life

Dream maker
Make my dreams come true
Will you dream maker
I'm ready to take this journey to euphoria
I'm ready for you

Guess the dreamer has to be awake
(Be awake wake wake wake wake be awake)
Brilliant vision but what you gon do
(Crystal clear but what you gon do)
Cause you help me dream this up
Now I'm inspired to master love
I wanna do it just like you showed me
I just wanna see it come to life

Dream maker
Make my dreams come true
Will you dream maker
I'm ready to take this journey to euphoria
I'm ready for you
Dream maker
Make my dreams come true
Will you dream maker

Of what we can create
If we just master love
A world without war, hunger or hate
You are greater than my dreams
And my dreams are greater than I can do
So dream maker
Make my dreams come true

2 B Loved

Everybody wants to be needed
Everybody needs to feel loved
I feel like you been deleted
Cause you lost your love

Ooh I just
Wanna live in your heart and mind
Be your everything combined

Till the end of time
Cause everybody needs to be loved

Everybody wants to feel needed
Everybody needs to feel loved

But a single rose is so romantic

Take Me Away

Once upon a time was a dream that sounded crazy baby
If fairytales are mine, you would be the one that saved me oh baby
Any time I visualize you, I'm in paradise
It's you and me, thought you don't even know it
So even with a million miles distance between us
I know you'll be there to help me escape

Take me away from here
To somewhere the air is clear
Take me away from here
To somewhere that love has no fear
Go!

You'll always be that spy that was sent to save me
From intimate danger
The world's playin' my mind
When I'm 'bout to lose it
Boy you're the game changer
Oh this silly heart of mine lost to a cutie pie
He so turns me on, it keeps getting stronger
Ooh I get a natural high just looking in his eyes
So just hold me close, I'm waiting for you

Take me away from here
To somewhere the air is clear
Take me away from here
To somewhere that love has no fear
Go!

---

Promise

Who can tell you
The promise of you
The beautiful flower
It just hasn't bloomed
You're judging the surface
But what's growing inside
Just might amaze you
The promise of you
Say a prayer
Will you live up to
The promise of you
Will you live up to
The promise of you

Lessons Learned

Dazed alone confused in thought
Feeling bad for whatever she's done
Got caught up fell in too deep
Played his part but she only blames she

She tells herself
Don't engage in all the wrong
He's not himself when that record comes on
He can't control the things he does
His well being in her prayers as her

Nights are long
The pain so strong
After all the lessons learned
Don't know which way she should turn
What makes her want to stay
So strong

She cries
I just want my baby back
I don't care I don't wanna think back
All the fights, the pain, the scars
Can't compare to the love in his heart
Now he's feeling bad for what he's done
He's himself cause that record is done
Apologies don't come in words
He puts a love song on says it for him their

Night is long
The love is bond
Forget what you've been through
Codependent lover that's her tune
For now his song plays on
Will you

After all the lessons learned
Codependent lover that's her tune
For now his song plays on
Will you
Play yours too
It goes on and on and on
Is it cool?

Black Eagle

(Once you know
You can't not know)

Do you know about the black eagle
Let me tell you about the black eagle
Strong and powerful king of the sky
Protecting all things with his watchful eyes
Faithful creature to the most high
What are the visions that he holds

You never know
Unless you've been there
You never know
Unless you've been there

Beautiful soul I haven't met
A spiritual connection I'll never forget
Your precious life
Incredible
Sharing his love that is meant for us all
Come outtta the shadows into the light
Free to imagine the future you like
Soaring above all of your boundaries
Yes the day will come
Just remember when you're overwhelmed
Dream and take some time to love yourself
Believe you're free to do whatever you want
No no more room number four

You never know
Unless you've been there

I'm singing this love song to show my support
To the beautiful people who have been ignored
With blind eyes and cold shoulders attacking them
Invisible people they won't let fit in
Let's open our eyes to the true barriers
Stereotypical things are the worst
Stand face to face with the real ugly truth
How would you feel if that was you?
Because every life matters
(We all need to do better)
So we all should try
(We all need to do better)
A smile
A kind word
Or extending a hand
Helping someone to feel human again
If we never start
It could be you on the other end

You never know
(We all need to do better)
You never know
(We all need to do better)
You never know
No no
You never know

Well Traveled

I don't know where this journey will end
Cause the world keeps calling me
At home people embrace me as a friend
And I'm loving all the energy

I've come a long way
Got a long way to go
And I'm so well traveled
The only place in my life that I'll miss
It's on my bucket list
It's a place I don't know

In every race
Every place that I've ever been
There is so much beauty
Down every highway's the by-way to exit again
So much love I never wanna leave

I've come a long way
Got a long way to go
Cause I'm so well traveled
Wherever life takes me I'm willing to go
Whatever it takes from me
I'ma let it all go

I think it's time to go
Cause I'm so well traveled
Never stay too long
Cause I'm so well traveled

Trippin' round the world
Destination unknown
Gotta keep movin'
Until I'm gone
To find the place
I never wanna arrive
Cause if I ever reach there
There's no place left to go
