Song of the Day #5,391: ‘(And She Said) Take Me Now’ – Justin Timberlake

The Random iTunes Fairy must have been a little sore about my comments dissing Justin Timberlake two weekends ago because she’s serving up another helping from his 2002 debut solo album, Justified.

While I do like this more than the syrupy ballad we got last time, it’s not anything I ever need to hear again. Inviting Janet Jackson to feature on a second-rate Michael Jackson song doesn’t make you Michael Jackson!

[Intro: Janet Jackson]
Uh, uh, uh
What you waitin’ for?
I know you’re watchin’ me
Hey, boy, come on and take me now
What you waitin’ for?
I know you’re watchin’ me
Hey, boy, come on and take me now

[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]
Can I talk to you for a minute?
You’ve been lookin’ all night for your shining star
Baby, here I am, so why you waitin’?
Step on over, let me show you how bad you are

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
Just let me take the lead
All you gotta do is let your mind be free
Let’s hit the floor and cause a scene
Get real wet, if you know what I mean
What you say, baby?

[Chorus: Timbaland, Justin Timberlake & Janet Jackson]
(And she said) Take me now
I’m hungry for your lovin’
(And she said) Show me how
You got me working, honey
(And she said) Right now
I’m hot just like an oven (And she said)
So take me now
Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance
(I gotta dance, gotta dance, baby, I gotta dance)

[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake]
I feel good to you, you try to hide it
But I can tell by the way you push up close to me
Your body temperature is a-risin’
Something’s goin’ down as far as I can see

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
Just let me take the lead
All you gotta do is let your mind be free
Let’s hit the floor and cause a scene
Get real wet, if you know what I mean
What you say, baby?

[Chorus: Timbaland, Justin Timberlake & Janet Jackson]
(And she said) Take me now
I’m hungry for your lovin’
(And she said) Show me how
You got me working, honey
(And she said) Right now
I’m hot just like an oven (And she said)
So take me now
Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance

[Bridge 1: Justin Timberlake]
You know
Don’t I
I said don’t I make you feel like you gotta dance?

[Bridge 2: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland]
Once I get to know ya (No)
I’m gonna show ya (No)
That there’s no better way (Yeah)
Let’s dance the night away (Yeah)
Don’t wanna control ya (No)
Just wanna hold ya (No)
Dance the night away
So what you say, baby, what you say now?
(What you sayin’ to me?)

[Chorus: Timbaland, Justin Timberlake & Janet Jackson]
(And she said) Take me now
(Oh)
I’m hungry for your lovin’
(Hungry for you)
(And she said)
Show me how
(Oh)
You got me workin’, honey
(Got me working)
(And she said)
Right now
(Oh)
I’m hot just like an oven
(Hot just like an oven)
(And she said)
So take me now
Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance
(And she said) She said
Take me now
(Oh)
I’m hungry for your lovin’
(Hungry for you)
(And she said)
Show me how
(Oh)
You got me workin’, honey
(Got me workin’)
(And she said)
Right now
(Oh)
I’m hot just like an oven
(And she said)
So take me now (So take me, ba-ba-baby)
Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance

[Break: Justin Timberlake & Timbaland]
Like you gotta dance
Like you gotta dance
Like you gotta dance, no
Like you gotta dance
Like you gotta dance
Like you gotta dance, no
Here we go now
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Break it down

[Outro: Timbaland & Justin Timberlake]
I’m like a hurricane
Just coasting along
You better grab me, girl
I hope you take me now (T-T-Take me now)
I’m like a hurricane
Just coasting along
You better grab me, girl
T-t-take me now
I’m like a hurricane
Just coasting along
You better grab me, girl
T-t-take me now
I’m like a hurricane
Just coasting along
You better grab me, girl
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-take me now
Take me now
I’m hungry for your loving
Show me how
You got me working, honey
Right now
I’m hot just like an oven
So take me now
Take me now
Take me now
Take me now
I’m hungry for your loving
Show me how
You got me working, honey
Right now
I’m hot just like an oven
So take me now
Boy, you make me feel like I gotta dance

    I think the Random iTunes Fairy is just trying to give us a well-deserved break from your melancholy stupor. 🤪
