Twisted Elegance
{Static}
It's my belief that we all have the need to feel special
And it's this need that can bring out the best in us yet the worst in us
This need created THE VELVET ROPE

Velvet Rope
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
We all wanna feel special...
This special need
That's within us
Brings out the best
Yet worst in us
Follow the passion
That's within you
Living the truth
Will set you free-ee-ee
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
Put others down
To fill us up
Oppressing me
Will oppress you
Outside leave judgement
Outside leave hate
One love's the answer
You'll find in you-oo-oo
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
We all wanna feel special...
This special need
That's within us
Brings out the best
Yet worst in us
Follow the passion
That's within you
Living the truth
Will set you free-ee-ee
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
Put others down
To fill us up
Oppressing me
Will oppress you
Outside leave judgement
Outside leave hate
One love's the answer
You'll find in you-oo-oo
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope
We have a special need
To feel that we belong
Come with me inside
Inside my velvet rope

You
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Here I am in your face
Tellin' truths and not your old lies
Seems to me that you care
And I know that you're runnin out of time
See ya can't get away
I'll be here forever and again
Whisperin' in your ear
Do believe 'cause you know you cannot win
Spent most your life pretending not to be
The one you are but who you choose to see
Learned to survive in your fictitious world
Does what they think of you determine your worth?
If special's what you feel when you're with them
Taken away, you feel "less than" again
(That's right)
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror, my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror, my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin' the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
There's a feeling inside
No, you cannot change it right away
You gotta make a try
And with time it'll start to go away
I'll be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to
'Cause I'm the you you forgot
The only one you know you cannot lie to
Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways
When you hate you, you hate everyone that day
Unleash this scared child that you've grown into
You cannot run for you, can't hide from you
Can't hide from you
(That's right)
You gotta mean what you say

Tryin' to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs (sacrifice your own needs)

Interlude – Speaker Phone
I get so lonely
I can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
I want no one but you
Hello?
Hi, it's me
You got me on that damn speaker phone
Yeah, I do
What you doin' with your hands that you can't pick up the phone?
Don't you worry about it, I'm taking care of my business
What you doing?
Hold on, let me just, okay, here we go, I'm back

Together Again
There are times
When I look above
And beyond
There are times when I feel your love
Around me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
I'll never forget you
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
When I feel that I don't belong
Draw my strength
From the words when you said
Hey, it's about you, baby
Look deeper inside you, baby
Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again, 'cause
Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me
(Together again, ooh)
Good times we'll share again
(Together again, ooh)
Makes me wanna dance
(Together again, ooh)
Say it loud and proud
(Together again, ooh)
All my love's for you
Always been a true angel to me, now above
I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me, baby
(Wrap them around me, baby)
Ooh, wrap them around me, baby
(Wrap them around me, baby)
Sometimes hear you whisperin'
No more pain
No worries will you ever see now, baby
(Ever see you, baby)
I'm so happy for my baby
(Happy for my baby)
Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again, 'cause
Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight
I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star
Shinin' down on me

Good times we'll share again
(Together again, ooh)
It makes me wanna dance
(Together again, ooh)
Say it loud and proud
(Together again)
All my love's for you
There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel you smile upon me, baby
I'll never forget my baby
What I'd give just to hold you close as on earth
In heaven we will be together, baby
(Be together)
Together again, my baby
(Together again, my baby)
Everywhere I go
Every smile I see
I know you are there
Smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight

Empty
How could it be that you know me
My deepest fears my fantasies
Confide in you what no one knows
But it feels so real
[CHORUS:]
(when I close my eyes)
I can see your face
(when I lick my lips)
I can taste your smile
(when I see your name)
My heart starts to race
(if I can't read your thoughts)
Then I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
Whoa I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
Is this a new way to love
Never face to face is it enough?
Does it really count or am I a fool?
So tell me please, am I wasting my time?
Your phrases
Descriptive
And through the textured words
With beauty
You post it
And use such colored verbs
We've never met
Ooh
[CHORUS]
I'm rushin home to turn you on
Sometimes you're there sometimes you're gone
Wait for hours for your return
So tell me please, am I wasting my time?
Your phrases
Descriptive
And through the textured words
With beauty
You post it
And use such colored verbs
So tell me you think that maybe we've gone insane?
To find a, a lover and through the words of pain
We've never met
Ooh
[CHORUS]
When I lick my lips
I can taste your smile
My heart starts to race
I can taste your smile
[CHORUS]
(when I close my eyes)
(when I close my eyes)
(when I close my eyes)
(when I close my eyes)
Damn, Disconnected
My deepest fears my fantasies
Confide in you what no one knows
But it feels so real
[CHORUS:]
(when I close my eyes)
I can see your face
(when I lick my lips)
I can taste your smile
(when I see your name)
My heart starts to race
(if I can't read your thoughts)
Then I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
Whoa I feel empty
(when I close my eyes)
Is this a new way to love
Never face to face is it enough?
Does it really count or am I a fool?
So tell me please, am I wasting my time?

What About
We walked along the beach
What a moonlit night
He held my hand in his
He kissed me
He said "I wanna spend my life with you... I want you for my wife"
Just then I thought
What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about all the shit you've done to me
What about that, what about that
What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried, you wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that, what about that
I took a pause, then a deep sigh
He looked right into my eyes as he said
"I know I didn't say somethin wrong"
I didn't have the courage to say
But then I thought
What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about all the shit you've done to me
What about that, what about that
What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried, you wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that, what about that
What about the times you hit my face
What about the times you kept on when I said "no more please"
What about those things
What about that, what about that
What about the times you shamed me
What about the times you said you didn't f*ck her
She only gave you head
What about that, what about that
Don't wanna live my life
In misery
Don't tell me you did it cuz you love me
I don't believe
I'm sick and tired
Your deceptive games
Wonder where you have been
I can't live life wonderin
My heart was poundin
But the time had come
To stop lettin my whisperin heart control me
And tellin my screamin mind what to do
I looked him straight in the eyes and then I said
What about the times you lied to me
What about the times you said no one would want me
What about all the shit you've done to me
What about that, what about that
What about the times you yelled at me
What about the times I cried, you wouldn't even hold me
What about those things
What about that, what about that
What about the times you hit my face
What about the times you kept on when I said "no more please"
What about those things

Afraid to love so fast
Cuz everytime I fall in love

But every time your love is near
And every time I'm filled with fear
Cuz every time I see your face
My heart does begin to race everytime
One half wants me to go
One half wants me to stay

Afraid to love so fast
Cuz every time I fall in love

Tie me up, tie me down

Make me moan real loud
(take off my clothes)
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin I wanna feel a soft rope burn
(no one has to know)
Wanna feel a
Rope burn
When you walked into the room you knew just what to do
Ya coulda gone from door to door but you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet room and tell me your fantasies
(tell me your fantasies)
The passion in your voice I wanna hear as you start to tell me
While you take the blindfold and tie it gently on me
Don't wanna see but feel the things you're gonna do to me
(wanna feel it)
[CHORUS]
One in the mornin I'm feelin so free and sensual
Lyin here wearin just my imagination for you
Sensation will do
Can you feel the warmth of the fire
Candlelight embrace your body
I'm feelin the hot candle wax drippin down the small of my back
You wanna know what my tongue feels like?
Mmhmm
You like that?
[CHORUS (2x)]

[CHORUS:]
(tie me)
Tie me up, tie me down
(make me moan real loud)
Make me moan real loud
(take off my clothes)
Take off my clothes
No one has to know
Whisperin I wanna feel a soft rope burn
(no one has to know)
Wanna feel a
Rope burn
When you walked into the room you knew just what to do
Ya coulda gone from door to door but you knew just where to go to
Come into my velvet room and tell me your fantasies
(tell me your fantasies)
The passion in your voice I wanna hear as you start to tell me
While you take the blindfold and tie it gently on me
Don't wanna see but feel the things you're gonna do to me
(wanna feel it)
[CHORUS]
One in the mornin I'm feelin so free and sensual
Lyin here wearin just my imagination for you
Sensation will do
Can you feel the warmth of the fire
Candlelight embrace your body
I'm feelin the hot candle wax drippin down the small of my back
You wanna know what my tongue feels like?
Mmhmm
You like that?
[CHORUS (2x)]

Interlude - Sad
There's nothing more depressing than having everything
And still feeling sad
You must learn to water your spiritual garden

Special
Hey J
It's been a long time since I've seen you last
A half and twenty-six years
(how time goes fast)
I'm well
Though I've gone through some deep changes in my life
It hasn't been easy
Oh no not for me
It's been difficult at times
Sometimes I sit down and cry
And ask God oh why
(fair... what is?)
I know how you're feelin
Same thing I did deal with
You're not as alone as you may feel
You see but oh it catches up to us fast
We have to deal with our past
I know it's painful but
There you'll find specialness
Cuz everybody needs to feel real special
We need to
Remember
That love lies deep within ourselves
We have to
Want it so
It starts with us and only us
We must learn
We're all born
With specialness inside of us
I have the need to feel real special too
You see
You can't run away from your pain
Because wherever you run
There you will be
You have to learn
To water your spiritual garden
Then
You will be free
I know how you're feelin
Same thing I did deal with
You're not as alone as you may feel
You see but oh it catches up to us fast
We have to deal with our past
I know it's painful but
There you'll find specialness
Cuz everybody needs to feel real special
We need to
Remember
That love lies deep within ourselves
We have to
Want it so
It starts with us and only us
We must learn
We're all born
With specialness inside of us
I have the need to feel real special too
We need to
Remember
That love lies deep within ourselves
We have to
Want it so
It starts with us and only us
We must learn
We're all born
With specialness inside of us
I have the need to feel real special too
Work in progress
It's been a long time since I've seen you last
A half and twenty-six years
(how time goes fast)
I'm well

It hasn't been easy

The Velvet Rope is the sixth studio album by American singer Janet Jackson. It was released on October 7, 1997, through Virgin Records. Prior to its release, she renegotiated her contract with Virgin for US$80 million, marking this as the largest recording contract in history at that time.
Upon experiencing an emotional breakdown, Jackson began facing a long-term case of depression. She developed her new record as a concept album, using introspection as its theme. Its title is a metaphor for emotional boundaries; as well as an allusion to an individual's need to feel special. Its lyrics address subject matter such as depression, self-worth, social networking, and domestic violence. It also encompasses themes of sexuality, including BDSM, sexual orientation, and same-sex relationships. Due to its sexually explicit content, the album reinforced Jackson's public image as a sex symbol and as one of the most erotic vocalists of the 1990s. Its incorporation of social issues regarding sexual orientation and combating homophobia, also established her reputation as a gay icon and received the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Music.
The record was co-written and co-produced by Jackson, alongside her then-husband René Elizondo Jr., Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis, with additional contributions by various songwriters. The songs on the album also includes British violinist Vanessa-Mae, Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, and American rapper Q-Tip as featured artists on the album. Its composition fuses various genres, including pop, R&B, trip hop, folk, jazz, rock, and techno music. Considered to be Jackson's most mature recording, it is regarded as a template for pop artists transitioning to a darker or rebellious sound and as a precursor to the development of alternative R&B.
The Velvet Rope became Jackson's fourth consecutive album to top the US Billboard 200. It also reached the top of charts in Denmark and the top five in major markets such as Australia, Canada, France, and Germany. The album was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold an estimated eight million copies worldwide. Of the six singles released from the project, "Got 'til It's Gone" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Music Video, "Together Again" became an international number-one hit, and "I Get Lonely" became Jackson's 18th consecutive top-ten single on the US Billboard Hot 100, making her the only female artist in history to achieve that feat. The Velvet Rope Tour, in support of the album, drew critical acclaim for its theatricality, as well as controversy for its depictions of domestic violence and bondage.
