美國歌壇黑人天后［珍娜傑克森］──另類嘻哈／R&B傑作──［Got ‘til It’s Gone］

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

Have a feelin, now believin

That you were the one

I was meant to be with

Oh, how Im wishin

Thinkin, dreamin bout you

And the love, howd I let you get away?

Got til its gone

Got til its gone

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

If I could turn back 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 til its gone

Got til its gone

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its

Yeah, let me just fuck with it for a minute

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

Now you are realizing when the nights go long, right

Campaign for me to stay

When you know that Im gone, right

You act all wild

When I tell you to settle

I was working round the clock

But you girls want to meddle

Talkin about, I heard he swims with his 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

Now why you wanna go and do that?

And do that? Huh

Now why you wanna go and do that?

Love huh

Now why you wanna go and do that?

And do that? Huh

Now why you wanna go and do that?

Love huh

Now why you wanna go and do that?

And do that? Huh

Now why you wanna go and do that?

Love huh

Now why you wanna go and do that?

And do that? And do that?

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

Dont it always seem to go

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

That you dont know what youve got til its gone

１９９７年秋天　３１歲的美國歌壇黑人天后珍娜傑克森（Janet Jackson）發行第六張專輯［The Velvet Rope］, 獲得高度評價,被許多人視為其最佳大碟

雖然銷售不如上張［Janet.］, 但仍是張暢銷專輯：

在美國成為其第四張冠軍大碟　拿到三白金　賣出三百多萬

英國＃６　拿到白金（３０萬張）

其它國家也打入排行榜Top１０, 全球賣出八百萬張

首支單曲為９月推出的［Got ‘til It’s Gone］

由珍娜, 製作人James Harris III ＆Terry Lewis , 珍娜當時未公開的老公René Elizondo, Jr. Kamaal Ibn Fareed（Q-Tip）合寫, Q-Tip擔任饒舌部份

由於歌曲取樣加拿大才女瓊妮米雪兒（Joni Mitchell）的［Big Tellow Taxi］部份旋律, 連歌名都是取自歌詞

因此單曲封面掛名為‘Janet featuring Q-Tip and Joni Mitchell

這是一首融合另類嘻哈, trip-hop, downtempo的R&B歌曲

與傑克森之前的主流曲風有明顯差別

珍娜的聲音表現也低調模糊, 反而取樣［Big Tellow Taxi］的瓊妮米雪兒歌聲讓人印象較深刻

［Got ‘til It’s Gone］登上英國榜＃６　賣出２０萬張（銀唱片）

法國榜＃１１　賣出２５萬張（銀唱片）

南非榜冠軍　紐西蘭＃４（金唱片）　丹麥＃５　荷蘭／瑞典＃６　澳洲＃１０（金唱片）　瑞士＃１１　挪威＃１３　義大利／愛爾蘭＃１６　德國／芬蘭＃１７　加拿大＃１９　奧地利＃２１　比利時（荷語區）＃２３　比利時（法語區）＃２９　

歐洲榜則是＃６

在美國並沒推出實體, 被視為宣傳主打, 而非正式首支單曲

不過電台仍捧場,因而登上Billboard電台播放榜＃３６, 還有舞曲播放榜＃６

MV拿到葛萊美最佳MV獎（短式）

這是珍娜傑克森的傑作之一
