Janet Jackson - Whoops Now

Friday morning and all my work is done
I've packed my bags
I'm on the run
I got a feeling that I'm gonna have some
Fun in the sun with my friends and he's got me goin

[CHORUS:]
Whoops now
Sorry I can't go
Whoops now
Sorry I can't go
Whoops now
Sorry I can't go
Sorry I can't
Sorry I can't go now

Friday noon and my boss is on the phone
He's telling me that I can't leave home
An extra hand at work is what he's called for
He said we need you here
To my friends I'm goin

[CHORUS (2x)]

It makes no difference if you're off work or not
You dream your weekend hand on the doorknob
Out with your friends, hey, fun in the sun now
That's when the phone rings

Friday evening and I'm all alone at home
I know my friends are havin fun
I'll plan my weekend, damn it, leave the machine on
Next time he calls he'll hear my voice sayin loud and clear

[CHORUS (2x) w/ "I'm out havin fun in the sun with my
friends"]

With my friends
With my friends
With my friends
With my friends

With Ann and Rusty
Tina and Moody
Ken and Nancy
Lynette and Tony oh oh oh

Lisa and Jimmy
Gwen and Julie
Kimble and Josie
Tish and Michael oh oh oh

Karen and Terry
Betta and Katie
Don and Kevin
Ricardo and Puffy oh oh oh

Come on you guys
Anguila here we come!
Here we come now
To the restaurants
(I'm starving! let's go)
For some lobster
And some sleeping
(some sleeping?)
And some you know what else
(what else?)
You know!
(no we don't know! like what else?)
Tiddlywinks
(tiddlywinks? I thought you were talking about you know
what)
What?
(you know!)
I like that part too
Oops!
"when Im in those arms of yours I'm so gone"-With U/Janet

I had that janet album for over 3 years before I knew Whoops now was at the very end of the album...

you have to wait about a min after the last interlude of the album.... I would always turn the cd player off before the whole album finished...

I thought it was one of the few gems on it. The self titled janet cd
was not a bad cd it was just really not much on it that made you
say wow. In my opinion from control on up, this was the weakest cd
along with the current janet 20 y.o.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

Worse song on a near flawless album. Those lyrics are fucking hideous! I never play it. lol

There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently

i love that song!

janet being janet - not trying to be anything else and it worked, it was a surprise hit in Europe

just like Madonna, I still think that "burning up" and "i know it" are better than anything i've heard from her in the last 6 years.... smile

I like the 1970s arrangement to it.

It's in the category I call "Giggling Janet"
