Any Time Any Place
Janet Jackson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴In the thundering rain
You stare into my eyes
I can feel your hand
Movin' up my thighs
Skirt around my waist
Wall against my face
I can feel your lips, ooh
I don't wanna stop just because
People walkin' by are watchin' us
I don't give a damn what they think
I want you now
I don't wanna stop just because
You feel so good inside of my love
I'm not gonna stop, no, no, no
I want you, all I wanna say is

Oh, any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
(Mmh)

Ooh, any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
No-no-no-no-no, whoa-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hoo-hoo-ooh

Dancin' on the floor
Feelin' the slow groove
My mind is startin' to burn
With forbidden thoughts
Strangers all around
With the lights down low
I was thinkin' maybe we could
Well, you know

I don't wanna stop (I don't wanna stop) just because (baby)
People standing around are watching us
(People standing around are watching us)
I don't give a damn what they think (I don't give a damn)
I want (I want) you now (oh)
I don't wanna stop (I don't wanna stop) just because (yeah)
You feel so good inside of my love (feel so good inside of my love)
I'm not gonna stop no, no
I want you (I want you now, ohh)
All I wanna say is

Ooh, any time
And any place
I don't care who's around
No-no-no-no-no-no-no

Yeah, any time, baby
And any place
I don't care who's around
Say it again, say it, oh yeah

Yeah, any time (any time)
And any place
I don't care who's around
Ooh, baby, ooh

Baby, baby
I don't care who's around (around)

(Baby, baby, mmh)

Any time, baby
Any place, sugar
They can watch, they can stare
I don't care
All I want is you now, mmh

Yes, look at me, I won't care, ohh
Ohh, it feels so good, babe
Ooh, it feels so nice, yeah
Ooh, just feels so right, babe
Ooh, it feels so nice, babe
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-da-dow, do-da-do, ay, yeah
Dum-dum-ay, dum-ay

Dum-dum-ay, dum-ay
Mmh, ooh
