美國歌壇天后［珍娜傑克森］──New Jack Swing／Trip Hop／工業搖滾／嘻哈──［If／假如］

Sittin over here

Starin in your face

With lust in my eyes

Sure dont give a damn and ya

Dont know that Ive been dreamin of ya in

My fantasies

Never once you looked at me

Dont even realize that Im wantin you

To fulfill my needs

Think what you want

Let your mind free

Run free to a place no one dares to

How many night Ive laid in bed excited over you

Ive closed my eyes and thought of us a hundred different ways

Ive gotten there so many times I wonder how bout you

Day and night

Night and day

All Ive got to say is

If I was your girl

Oh the things Id do to you

Id make you call out my name

Id ask who it belongs to

If I was your woman

The things Id do to you

But Im not

So I cant

Then I wont

But

If I was your girl

Allow me some time to play with your mind

And youll get there again and again

Close your eyes and imagine my body undressed

Take your time cuz weve got all night, oooh

You on the rise as youre touchin my thighs and

Let me know what you like

If you like Ill go

Down da down down down da down down

Ill hold you in my hand and baby

Your smooth and shiny

Feels so good against my lips sugar

I want you so bad I can

Taste your love right now baby

Day and night

Night and day

All ive got to say is

If I was your girl

Oh the things Id do to you

Id make you call out my name

Id ask who it belongs to

If I was your woman

The things Id do to you

But Im not

So I cant

Then I wont

But

If I was your girl

If I was your girl

Oh the things Id do to you

Id make you call out my name

Id ask who it belongs to

If I was your woman

The things Id do to you

But Im not

So I cant

Then I wont

But

If I was your girl

Ive laid in bed excited over you

One hundred different way Ive thought ya

Many, maaany

(day and night, night and day)

Allll I got to say is

If I was your girl

Oh the things Id do to you
