If It Takes All Night
Capturing Hearts: Janet Jackson's Passionate Pursuit in 'If It Takes All Night'
Lyrics
I've got my eyes on you
I am focused on you
You're playing peek-a-boo
You are playing a game of hide-and-seek
And it's so exciting
The situation is thrilling
There's such a chemistry between you and me
There is a strong connection between us
So there's no use fighting
No point in resisting this connection
Don't say it's so cliché to steal your heart away
Don't dismiss it as too ordinary to capture your heart
'Cause I'll find the words to say
I will find the right words to express my feelings
If it takes all night
Willing to persist throughout the night
If it takes all night, honey
Even if it takes the entire night
Gonna make you mine
Determined to make you mine
If it takes all night
Commitment to the pursuit, even if it's prolonged
Gotta find a way
Searching for a way
To get inside your heart tonight
Intending to enter your heart tonight
Ooh, I'll make the loving right
Promising to make the love right
If it takes all night
Even if it requires the whole night
I hear the people say
Hearing people suggest that love is just a game
Love's just a game you play
Viewing love as a competitive activity
For the competition
Acknowledging the presence of competition
Even some friends of mine say that I'm wasting time
Friends claim I'm wasting time
But my heart won't listen
Ignoring advice, as my heart is persistent
I know they want you too
Acknowledging others' interest in you
They say I won't get through
Others doubt my chances
But it will be me and you
Believing it will be you and me in the end
If it takes all night
Ready to persist throughout the night
If it takes all night, honey
Even if it takes the entire night
Gonna make you mine
Intent on making you mine
If it takes all night
Commitment to the pursuit, even if it's prolonged
Gotta find a way
Searching for a way
To get inside your heart tonight
Intending to enter your heart tonight
Ooh, I'll make the loving right
Promising to make the love right
If it takes all night
Even if it requires the whole night
I know a lover when I see him in disguise
Confident in recognizing a disguised lover
And I won't give up 'til I see that fire in your eyes
Not giving up until I see passion in your eyes
If it takes all night
Willing to persist throughout the night
If it takes all night, honey
Even if it takes the entire night
Gonna make you mine
Intent on making you mine
If it takes all night
Commitment to the pursuit, even if it's prolonged
Gotta find a way
Searching for a way
To get inside your heart tonight
Intending to enter your heart tonight
Ooh, I'll make the loving right
Promising to make the love right
If it takes all night
Even if it requires the whole night
If it takes all night, honey
Willing to persist throughout the night
Gonna make you mine
Even if it takes the entire night
If it takes all night
Intent on making you mine
Gotta find a way
Commitment to the pursuit, even if it's prolonged
To get inside your heart tonight
Searching for a way
Ooh, I'll make the loving right
Intending to enter your heart tonight
If it takes all night
Promising to make the love right
