I LOOOVE this 'lil wistful track off Janet's 1986 CONTROL album.

The whole collection of songs work so well and take me back to 1986...

Does anybody else like this song?

(She talks a bit part in French!!!)

Dig it or don't?

Dig it.

Such a tight album and that is a hot song. I even hear it on the radio every so often (softer/mature R&B stations).

It sounds a bit too similar to MJ's 'The Lady In My Life' for me to be able to enjoy it properly.

Dig it. One of my top ten Janet songs.

it is the same song basically when you break down the structuring&Arrangements&the part near the end where She says don't you go nowhere.

dija ever think that might have been a nod 2 her famous older brother??? that's what made me enjoy the song when i was comin up, especially thinkin i wouldnt want her 2 go so soon either lol

Yes, indeed, one of the best slow jams of the 80's.

Love this song! Did you notice that the melody is VERY similiar to her brother Michael's song "The Lady In My Life"?

I used 2 b scared 2 listen 2 it when I was little. Every time my mom would play it I would ask her "what is she sayin? Why is she crying? Where is she at? Is she real sad? What's wrong with her?"

It is one of my favorite songs of all time and have it on 3 different compilation CD's (Janet Xonez 1, Slow Jamz III, & various artists 7).

It was the introduction 2 her nasty songs that were 2 come:

Someday Is 2Nite
Anytime Anyplace
Rope Burn
When We OOO
Throb
Would U Mind?
China Love


alll good songs. and i hope she stays with the nastiness 2.

she used 2 say.."she is at her boyfriend house" & "she's not crying" & "she is just talking different". I remember her making up a story about where she was. She said she was in the rain and it was too rainy to go back home. lol!!! Still remember that 2 this day...

yup!
