[Verse 1]
Feels like I'm goin' in circles
You're like a maze I can't get through
Should I go left? Should I go right?
Should I let you stay for the night?
It's like a seesaw when it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up, this girl is down
And I just can't figure it out
[Chorus]
'Cause you know that I want you
And you know that I need you
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin'
These tears - can you wipe 'em?
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
[Verse 2]
I'm goin' out with guys I don't wanna go
To places that I've been before
How I wish it was you callin' me
I want it to be you holdin' me
Boy, it needs to be you kissin' me
'Cause it's like a seesaw, when it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up, this girl is down
And I just can't figure it out
[Chorus]
'Cause you know that I want you
And you know that I need you
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin'
These tears - can you wipe 'em?
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
[Bridge]
Listen
Have your way with me anytime, anywhere
Have your way however, I don't care
Have your way with me
And you can have it tonight
Tonight, tonight, boy, tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause you know that I want you
And you know that I need you
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin'
These tears - can you wipe 'em?
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
'Cause you know that I want you
And you know that I need you
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin'
These tears - can you wipe 'em?
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
The love Janet shares between her and this mystery man is an emotional rollercoaster— leaving her clueless of what to expect next. She clearly wants him to know that she is available for him, but it’s unclear if he wants her back. Because of that, Janet is wrestling through the options of what she should do to get him to want her back.
Janet had experienced dating guys with similar personalities and backgrounds. By “pitching the same game”, she’s directly speaking about how those guys approach her while single. She’s sick and tired of that, and wants a more unique and respectable guy like the one she wants instead.
