Lyrics of If by Janet Jackson

verse

Sittin' over here, starin' in your face
With lust in my eyes, sure don't give a damn
And ya don't know that I've been dreamin' of ya in my fantasy
Never once you looked at me
Don't even realize that I'm wantin' you to fulfill my needs?
Think what you want, let your mind free
Run free to a place no one dares to

pre-chorus

How many nights I've laid in bed excited over you?
I've closed my eyes and thought of us a hundred different ways
I've gotten there so many times
I wonder how 'bout you
Day and night, night and day, all I've got to say is:

chorus

If I was your girl, oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't, then I won't, but if I was your girl

verse

Allow me some time to play with your mind
And you'll get there again and again
Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed
Take your time 'cause we've got all night, ooh
You on the rise as you're touchin' my thighs
And let me know what you like, if you like I'll go
Down, down, down, down, da-, down, down
I'll hold you in my hand and maybe

pre-chorus

Your smooth and shiny feels so good against my lips, sugar
I want you so bad
I can taste your love right now, baby
Day and night, night and day
All I've got to say is:

chorus

If I was your girl, oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't, then I won't, but if I was your girl

chorus

If I was your girl, oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't, then I won't, but if I was your girl

bridge

I've laid in bed excited over you
One hundred different ways
I've thought of many, many
All I want to say is:

chorus

If I was your girl, oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't, then I won't, but if I was your girl

chorus

If I was your girl, oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not, so I can't, then I won't, but if I was your girl

outro

If I was your girl, oh the things I'd do to you
I'd make you call out my name, I'd ask who it belongs to
If I was your woman, the things I'd do to you
But I'm not!
Writer(s): Terry Lewis, James Harris, Janet Jackson, Robert Beavers, Harvey Fuqua, Johnny Bristol
