Janet Jackson - Black Cat Lyrics






All the lonely nights I spend alone
Never around to love me
You're always gone
Cause you're hangin out
Breakin' the rules
Oh the man has come
Looking for you
You're a rebel now
Don't give a damn
Always carrying on
With the gang
I'm trying to tell you boy
It's a mistake
You won't realize
Til it's too late

Don't understand
Why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies

Black cat
Nine lives
Short days
Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat
Real strong
But not
For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die

You're so together boy
But just at a glance
You'll do anything
If given a chance
Scheming, plannin lies
To get what you need
So full of promises
That you never keep

Don't you tell yourself
That it's okay
Sick and tired of
All of your games
And you want me to stay
Better change
Makes no sense to me
Your crazy ways

Black cat
Nine lives
Short days
Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat
Real strong
But not
For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die

Janet Jackson Black Cat Comments
  1. S.... M....

    I dressed up as Janet for Halloween last year. This girl rocks!!

  2. O.... ....

    Her best song ever PERIODT

  3. R.... A....

    Oh so this is where Disney's Cruella De Ville song by Selena came from....i can literally hear it lol

  4. B.... B....

    I’ve always loved this song. But after seeing the episode of Pose when Elecktra Abundance bdsm sub had an accidental overdose I love the song even more.

  5. C.... C....

    She's a bad mama jama.

  6. S.... S....

    Reminds me of Dirty Diana

  7. M.... R....

    She was a real rocker in the 80s. Jackson at her best. I did not like that she went to stereotypical black R&B in the 90s and after that.

  8. B.... B....

    She had moves ain't never seen befoh Grew up watching this video. Still love it.

  9. z.... ....

    Dirty Diana x Give In to Me = Black Cat

  10. D.... C....

    back when Janet was really good

  11. M.... F....

    They will never top Janet or Michael. I no there alot of talent but they wont beat that talent & plus that beautiful smile she is gorgeous.

  12. S.... F....

    What. Year. Was. That. Song love. That. Song. Love. Janet. Jackson

    S.... F....

    1989 i believe. Off her Rhythm Nation 1814 album. Crazy thing about this song is that it is nothing like anything else Janet has created. I guess she just decided to dabble in hard rock for 1 song, and then went back to her typical music. Based on this song, she could have rivaled what Joan Jett was/is to Rock and Roll.

  13. D.... ....

    This is Janet's "Beat It"

    D.... ....

    Beat It is not a true Hard Rock song. This is.

    D.... ....

    @Bazooka Ike Um...Eddie Van Halen...Hello?. Beat It actually chartered on the Rock charts...not a true rock song, gtfo

    D.... ....

    @DrRiddlez2015 Beat It is a great song. I just don't think it is in the same vein as Black Cat. Michael's music has always been Rock/dance/pop. In Janet's Black Cat, this is true Metal. Much heavier IMO.

  14. D.... B....

    Yasssssssssss

  15. E.... L....

    Her stage presence, dance moves, and outfit in this video remind me so much of Michael, especially his video for Dirty Diana.

  16. K.... D....

    Capital Records

  17. S.... N....

    once again...BEST WEAVE EVER!

  18. s.... l....

    i find it kinda funny thats shes dressed up as michael from dirty dianna

  19. S.... G....

    My soul sister! I love me some Janet!!🖤💫🖤

  20. F.... F....

    Too bad they didn't let the guy who actually *played* lead guitar, on this song Nuno Bettencourt, be in the video.

  21. r.... ....

    that's how you do!!!

  22. G.... W....

    I see so much of Paula Abdul's choreographic works in Janet's early vids..I know she was her choreographer, but damn, "Control", "Pleasure Principle" & this ooze Paula. I also notice the influences of her brother's dance style too as she developed in her career.

  23. K.... B....

    Even metal fans love this song! \m/ Rock it Janet! 😘💜

  24. C.... J....

    0:06 I extremely love that part

  25. f.... ....

    Still her best song.

  26. H.... M....

    I miss this kind of talent. Janet Jackson had me and my sisters doing choreography and headbanging in our living room back in the day. 😘

  27. D.... R....

    Disrespect is always Disrespect. DISRESPECT NEVER CHANGE IT'S COLORS. AND, DARRYL(DRIVS)RIVERS. JTOL IN A FRIENDLY WAY.

  28. D.... R....

    Yo JJ. We of Moorestown NJ still think U should sing again Super Bowl champions Style. Let's run this tape again. Wentz's got hit in his leg cause Clements did not block for Wentz's.??? JANET, WATCH THIS HIT ON WENTZ'S LEG AGAIN... PLEASE, FROM DARRYL(DRIVS)RIVERS OF MOORESTOWN NJ. RAYMOND EARL EAGLES SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS.

  29. T.... A....

    this song is powerful with a great rythem to dance to she had the whole arena dancing love this song.

  30. M.... M....

    Janet Jackson: Black Cat
    Michael Jackson: Black Panther

  31. S.... E....

    two of my Favorite Janet Jackson songs black cat & scream, she has done with her brother Michael Jackson.

  32. U.... ....

    When Janet channeled her Inner "Rocker Chick".

  33. R.... C....

    I can't help but see the resemblance between this and the Dirty Diana video. I love both songs, tbh

  34. J.... E....

    No one could top this!!

  35. R.... C....

    Love this talent

  36. J.... V....

    Rhythm Nation is a classic album

  37. E.... Z....

    Damn..I wish I was at this concert

  38. L.... A....

    MS. JANET JACKSON GREAT SINGER
    AND SHE WORKED UNDER

    THE DIRECTION WITH GREAT AND VERY EXTRAORDINARY
    MUSIC PRODUCERS THAT ALSO

    DOMINATE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
    WITH OTHER GREAT HITS FOR OTHER
    RECORDING ARTIST

    EVEN TODAY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
    JIMMY JAM AND TERRY LEWIS

    I LOVE THIS SONG AND MUSIC WHEN
    I FIRST HEARD IT AND WILL REMAIN

    ANOTHER FAVORITE FROM
    JANET JACKSON.

  39. A.... K....

    I loved her music since I was in high school!!

  40. S.... N....

    DROP THE MIC TIME🎤 LYRICS r off the Charts 4-SURE 📻🍎A GREAT ARTIST AND SONGWRITER BRAVO

  41. J.... H....

    Janies got a gun

  42. J.... H....

    Nine lives..not afraid to die!!

  43. S.... f....

    This reminds me combination of Michael Jackson songs including dirty diana, black or white and give it to me

  44. L.... S....

    I always come back to this whenever I listen to Janet, and every time I hear "You wont realise til it's too late" It gets me every time. I honestly wish I could help people that are gonna end up in a bad place from doing wrong things like I did. I wish everyone was more informed and more conscious of their actions and the consequences of them. I don't really know how to help anyone though, as I'm not really in any position to make a real difference in the world, or to anyone really, as I know most young people would never listen to me. I guess I'll just tell my truth if anyone ever asks for it, and that's all I feel I can really do. I hate the fact that I think so many young people are gonna be this black cat, and do all the wrong things I've done, and a lot of them won't realise til it's too late... Sad world... Anyway this songs good, not only the message and sound, but the instrumental is amazing.

  45. N.... M....

    I have been listening to Janet Jackson since I was six years old I remember the song the year 1989 when it came out best songs on this album I just wish that the 80s was still here and also they need to make black cat on rock band three subscribe

  46. J.... H....

    She sure filled out them Pants pretty good. Didn’t she?

  47. L.... L....

    Who was at this concert in 89?!?

  48. K.... D....

    Law of Tha Jungle baby...

  49. K.... D....

    Janet...

  50. B.... I....

    Loved this song from the first day i heard it. Rhythm Nation was and maybe still is among a handful of the greatest albums ever made. But this song is so unlike any others on that album or anything Janet ever made. Can't help but think she could have been a bona fide rock star if she chose to create more songs from the same vein as this one. The heavy guitars and ass kicking rock vocals of this song reminds me of 2 other great female rock songs- Do You Want To Touch by Joan Jett and Free Your Mind by En Vogue.

  51. U.... ....

    the white people dancing annoys me

  52. g.... j....

    I see a lot of her brother in her

  53. �.... ....

    このクリップを初めてMTVで見た時にカッコいいと思ったのがきっかけで、ジャネットのファンになりました🤩懐かしすぎて😭

  54. K.... M....

    Damn! I forgot how much this song rocks!🤘😆🤘

  55. A.... W....

    I played this for my 6 and 8 year old they got it on repeat lol

  56. A.... W....

    Janet Jackson at the top of her game take notes YOUNG Artists

  57. Z.... ....

    This was back when people danced for real at concerts and enjoyed themselves. When they didn't have their phones out trying to film everything and focused on the concert more.

  58. M.... M....

    La canción favorita de Selena Quintanilla

  59. A.... H....

    Wow, this song.... Janet, who says you can’t rock? I dated a guy that was similar to what this song described. I did give a damn to the point of getting out of it, thank God. This song gets you through some major shit in your life. Thank you, Janet for all you’ve done to help us out!

  60. K.... F....

    Love Janet n I'm not a fan of hip hop at all but something about her you just can't help yourself
