[Intro: Janet Jackson]
You want this? (Yeah, come on)
Can you handle this? (Yeah)
Well, come here then (Come on)
Yeah, come on; yeah

[Verse 1: MC Lyte & Janet Jackson]
Yo, Janet, now I'm about to kick this
You want this, but do ya really think you can get this?
At first you dissed this, now you wanna kiss this
Tell 'em, girl (Can you handle this?)
'Cause we need a man that's swift, quick and clever
Ready at the drop of a dime to whatever
Not tryin' to front or fake or save face
'Cause I'm with that there any time, any place

[Interlude: E-Smoove]
Yo, you know I want this, mmm, and you know I want that, comе on
Yo, you know I want this, mmm, and you know I want that, word up
Yo, you know I want this, mmm, and you know I want that, come on
Yo, you know I want this, mmm, and you know I want that, word up
Yo, you know I want this, mmm, and you know I want that, come on
Yo, you know I want this, mmm, and you know I want that, word up
Yo, you know I want this, mmm, and you know I want that, come on
Yo, you know I want this, mmm, and you know I want that, word up
[Verse 1 repeated: MC Lyte & Janet Jackson]
Yo, Janеt, now I'm about to kick this
You want this, but do ya really think you can get this?
At first you dissed this, now you wanna kiss this
Tell 'em, girls (Can you handle this?)

You want this, you know it's true
You want this (Can you handle this?), you know it
(Early in the morning) You want this, you know it's true
(Late in the evening) You want this, you know it
(Just about around midnight) You want this, you know it's true
('Cause you know I do it right, baby) You want this, you know it
(Oh, what's my name, boy?) You want this, you know it's true
('Cause you gotta say my name, boy) You want this, you know it
