This is story about control
My control, control of what I say
Control of what I do
And this time I'm gonna do it my way
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Are we ready?
I am 'cause it's all about control
And I've got lots of it
When I was seventeen I did what people told me
I did what my father said
And let my mother mold me
But that was a long ago
I'm in control, never gonna stop
Control, to get what I want
Control, I like to have a lot
Control, now I'm all grown up
First time I fell in love, I didn't know what hit me
So young and so naïve, I thought it would be easy
But now I know I got to take
Control, now I've got a lot
Control, to get what I want
Control, I'm never gonna stop
Control, now I'm all grown up
Jam, woo woo
Rebel, that's right
I'm on my own
I'll call my own shots
Thank you
Got my own mind
I want to make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life, my life
I wanna be the one in control
So let me take you by the hand
And lead you on this dance (control)
Is what I've got, because I took a chance
I don't wanna rule the world
Just wanna run my life (ooh)
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance just take control
Control, now I've got a lot, ooh
Control, to get what I want, oww
Control, I'm never gonna stop
Control, now I'm all grown up, ooh
Free, at last
Out here on my own
Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah, hee
Now control this
Uh control, that's right
Control, career moves
Control, I do what's right for me
Control, and me wants to groove, is that okay?
Yeah, ooh, control
I've got own mind
Ooh baby
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I've got my own mind
Wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life
I wanna be the one in control
Hop to it
I'm in control, and I love it, hahaha, that's right
Control
Now I've got a lot
Control
Now I'm all grown up, aah
I'm in control, uh
I'm in control, aah, I'm in control
Uh, don't make me lose it

What Have You Done For Me Lately
(What's up, girl?)
He stood me up again
(Again?)
Mmm-hmm
(Well, what's up with this guy?)
(Do you really like him that much?)
Yes, honey, I love him, he is fine
He does a lot of nice things for me
(I know he used to do nice stuff for you)
(But what has he done for you lately?)
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Used to be a time when you would pamper me
Used to brag about it all the time
Your friends seem to think that you're so peachy-keen
But my friends say neglect is on your mind
Who's right?
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Used to go to dinner almost every night
Danced until I thought I'd lose my breath, ah
Now it seems your dancin' feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death
Ain't that a shame?
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
I never ask for more than I deserve
You know it's the truth
You seem to think you're God's gift to this Earth
I'm tellin' you, no way
You ought to be thankful for the little things
But little things are all you seem to give
You're always puttin' off what we could do today
Soap opera says you've got one life to live
Who's right, who's wrong?
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah (get with it)
Uh (let me know)
(What have you done for me lately)
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
This is wild (what have you done for me lately?)
I swear
He stood me up again

The Pleasure Principle
You might think I'm crazy, but I'm serious
It's better you know now
What I thought was happiness was only part-time bliss
You can take a bow
It was all just one big night out on the town
Riding in your limousine
We turned right and I say wrong which brings us to a stop
As the light is changing
Oh, my meters running so I got to go now
It's the pleasure principle, oh oh oh
It's the principle of pleasure, oh
It's the pleasure principle, oh oh
It's true you want to build your life on guarantees
Hey take a ride in a big yellow taxi
I'm not here to feed your insecurities
I wanted you to love me
This has become an all too familiar scene
It's not the first time I paid the fare
Where'd you get the idea of material possession?
Thank you for the ride nowhere
And, oh, my meters running so I've really got to go
It's the pleasure principle oh oh oh, ooh
It's the principle of pleasure ohh
It's the pleasure principle oh oh oh oh
I know what you mean to me
Baby this is nowhere
You know what became between you and me
Human differential
Da-da-da-da, baby
It's the principle of pleasure
Ohh, ohh-ah
It's the pleasure principle, principle
Oh oh oh oh
You might say that I'm no good
I wouldn't trust your looks baby if I could
I got so many things I wanna do
Before I'm through
Hey, ba-da-da-da-baby
It's the pleasure principle
It's the pleasure principle
Yeah, yeah, ay, yeah, yeah, ay
It's the pleasure principle
Baby you can't hold me down
Baby you can't hold me down
After all the lovin' we've been through
And after all you've put me through
Yeah yeah, hey yeah (oh)
Love me, hey yeah, love me yeah
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
It's the pleasure principle
Oh (yeah, yeah), oh (yeah, yeah), oh
It's better you know now
What I thought was happiness was only part-time bliss
You can take a bow

Riding in your limousine

When I Think Of You
Ooh, baby
Anytime my world gets crazy
All I have to do to calm it
Is just think of you
It's when I think of you, baby
Nothin' else seems to matter
It's when I think of you, baby
All I think about is our love
I just get more attached to you
When you hold me in your arms and squeeze me
And you leave me making me blue
It's when I think of you, baby
Nothin' else seems to matter
It's when I think of you, baby

He Doesnt Know Im Alive
Cha
No no
No no no no no
Ooh baby
I've got his picture
It's on my dresser
Right next to my bed
He doesn't know me
But I sure know him
I can't get him out of my head, no
(Talk to him)
No no
I haven't even tried
He doesn't even know that I'm alive, no
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
I got his number
I call him up, hehe
Just to hear him say "Hello"
And when he answers
I always hang up
Ooh, that boy scares me so, woah
(Talk to him)
No no I haven't even tried
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
(He doesn't know that I'm alive)
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
No-oh
No no no no
Oohhh yeah
No no yeah
Someday I'll find the nerve
To talk to him and stop acting so preserved
I told myself "Girl you gotta change"
'Cause nothing ventured is nothing gained
No-oh woah
Late last evening
I dropped on by
Just to see if he was home
And when he opened the door
I could have died
There we were all alone
(Talk to him)
I said "Excuse me I thought my friend lived here"
Well he doesn't even know that I'm alive
(He doesn't know that I'm alive)
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
He doesn't even know that I'm alive
(He doesn't know that I'm alive)

Lets Wait Awhile
There's something I want to tell you
There's something I think that you should know
It's not that I shouldn't really love you
Let's take it slow
When we get to know each other
And we're both feeling much stronger
Then let's try to talk it over
Let's wait awhile longer
Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile
Before we go too far
Remember that special night
When all of the stars were shining bright?
We made our first endeavor to stay together
We made our very first promise
To love, to share, and be real honest
But on that very first night
It wasn't quite right
Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile
Our love will be great
Let's wait awhile
Before we go too far
I didn't really know not to let all my feelings show
To save some for later so our love can be greater
You said you would always love me
Remember I said the same thing to you?
You don't have to be frightened with my love
Because I'll never give up on you
Let's wait awhile
Ah, well, before it's too late
You know you can't rush love, love
Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile (wait awhile)
(Our love will be great)
Let's wait awhile (wait awhile)
Before we go too far, ohh-ooh
Let's wait awhile
(Let's just take our time)
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile (love's so good)
Our love will be great (we shouldn't rush it)
Let's wait awhile (gotta slow it down)
Before we go too far, ooh
La da lee de da da de de de, da da da da la da
La da lee de da da de de de, da da da da la da da
La da lee de da da de de de
I promise, I'll be worth the wait
There's something I think that you should know
It's not that I shouldn't really love you
Let's take it slow
When we get to know each other
And we're both feeling much stronger
Then let's try to talk it over
Let's wait awhile longer
Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile

Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile (love's so good)
Our love will be great (we shouldn't rush it)

Funny how time flies when you're having fun
(Please stay) funny how time flies (please stay)
When you're having fun
Mm
But time never ends
Let's find the time
To get together once again, someday soon
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (yeah, ooh)
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (fun)
Don't you ever leave
(Funny how time flies when you're having fun)
Don't you ever go
Say you love me so
(Funny how time flies when you're having fun)
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (ooh)
When you're having fun, yeah
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (fun)
Je ne sais pas où le temps s'est enfui
Il me plaît d'être avec tu
I really don't know where all the time went
I really have to go
Stop, stop
Oh, I really have to go
Oh, I really have to go
One more time?
Oh, je t'aime mon chéri
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Je ne sais pas où
Où le temps s'est enfui
Oh, je t'aime mon chéri
Funny how time flies when you're having fun, ooh baby
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (fun), oh baby
I don't know where it all went, time passed us by
Just when it seemed the fun began
Ooh
Funny how time flies when you're having fun
(Please stay) funny how time flies (please stay)
When you're having fun
Mm
But time never ends
Let's find the time
To get together once again, someday soon
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (yeah, ooh)
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (fun)
Don't you ever leave
(Funny how time flies when you're having fun)
Don't you ever go
Say you love me so
(Funny how time flies when you're having fun)
Funny how time flies when you're having fun (ooh)
When you're having fun, yeah

Control is the third studio album by American singer Janet Jackson, released on February 4, 1986, by A&M Records. Her collaborations with the songwriters and record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis resulted in an unconventional sound: a fusion of rhythm and blues, rap vocals, funk, disco, and synthesized percussion that established Jackson, Jam and Lewis as the leading innovators of contemporary R&B. The distinctive triplet swing beat utilized on the record is also considered to be a precursor to the new jack swing genre. The album became Jackson's commercial breakthrough and enabled her to transition into the popular music market, with Control becoming one of the foremost albums of the 1980s and contemporary music.
Containing autobiographical themes, a majority of the album's lyrics came as the result of a series of changes in her life: a recent annulment of her marriage to singer James DeBarge, severing her business affairs from her father and manager Joseph and the rest of the Jackson family, hiring the A&M executive John McClain as her new management, and her subsequent introduction to Jam and Lewis. The album has been praised by critics as both an artistic feat and as a personal testament of self-actualization. It has also been regarded as a template upon which numerous female artists have modeled their careers, particularly Black women.
Following its release, Control became Jackson's first album to top the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and five of its commercial singles—"What Have You Done for Me Lately", "Nasty", "Control", "When I Think of You", and "Let's Wait Awhile"—peaked within the top five of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, making Jackson the first female artist to have five top five hits from one album on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; "When I Think of You" became the singer's first number one hit. Control also set a record for the longest continuous run of charting singles on the Hot 100, at 65 consecutive weeks. Music videos created to promote the album's singles showcased her dancing ability and became a catalyst for MTV's evolving demographics. The album remained on the Billboard 200 chart for over two years. It has been certified five times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
Control went on to receive several accolades, including a nomination for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and winning Producer of the Year, Non-Classical for Jam and Lewis in 1987. It is listed by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the 200 Definitive Albums of All Time, in addition to being included in several publications "best of" album lists. In 2016, it was selected for exhibition in the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).
