Random Lyrics #72
Old song. Haven't heard it in a while. Well, until now, obviously. Was watching some TV looking for something to eat for breakfast and MuchMoreMusic had a Janet Jackson Profile going and this was the song playing while I ate my croissant. I remember when Janet was still good. A lot of music/musicians/artists I used to like back when I was younger changed a lot it seems. Or maybe I have and only now have I grown wise to their sound. Probably not though 'cuz all I was thinking while listening to this song again, other than the message in the lyrics, was how I actually liked Janet back then. Then again, I never really liked her pre/post-Velvet Rope so who knows, could've just been this one album that I found to be worth listening to.

Nice lyrics though, IMO. The rest of the song may not necessarily fit for each individual listening to it but the main focus of not knowing what you had until it's out of your life kinda touches each person. I used to tell my bestfriend's younger sister whenever we got into any deep conversations that I never have and will likely never will regret anything in my life. Just another part of the facade I put up when anyone wants to get to know who I am, I guess. Everyone has regrets. Not everyone dwells on those regrets as long as others but I believe each and every one of us does. Even if for a moment. If we didn't, what a perfect world that would be, eh? No one ever makes mistakes. 'cuz no one ever regrets the good things that have happened in life, right?

Or maybe I'm just completely missing the whole point of the song's lyrics.

Janet Jackson
Got 'til It's Gone (feat. Q-Tip & Joni Mitchell)

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone

Have a feelin'
Now believin'
That you were the one
I was meant to be with
Oh, how I'm wishin'
Thinkin' dreamin'
'Bout you
And the love
How'd I ever let you get away?

Got 'till it's gone
(Don't- Don't- Don't it always-)
(Don't- Don't- Don't it always-)
Got 'till it's gone
(Don't- Don't- Don't it always-)

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's (Gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's (Gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone

If I could turn back
The hands of time
Make you fall in love
In love with me again
So would you give me
Another chance to love
To love you
Love you the right way
No games

Got 'till it's gone
(Don't- Don't- Don't it always-)
(Don't- Don't- Don't it always-)
Got 'till it's gone
(Don't- Don't- Don't it always-)

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's (Gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's (Gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's
Let me just ******** with it for a minute
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone

Now you realizing when the nights go long, right
Campaign for me to stay
When you know that I'm gone, right
You act all wild
When I tell you to settle
I was working 'round the clock
But your girls want me to meddle
Talkin' about, I heard he swims with this chick on the beach
That was out with the tide but my love you impeached
Now you lookin' at the walls
Head in hand
Cold jonezin'
Ringing my house
Hang up and posing

Now why you wanna go and do that?
Love huh?
And why you wanna go and do that?
And do that? Huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Love huh?
And why you wanna go and do that?
And do that? Huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Love huh?
And why you wanna go and do that?
And do that? Huh?
Now why you wanna go and do that?
Love huh?
And why you wanna go and do that?
And do that?

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's (Gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's (Gone)
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's (Gone)
That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
