Monáe, Janelle - It's Code Lyrics

this whole album still fucks me up! yall put some damn good music together! Given me chills!!!

Not only Jackson 5, this sounds specifically like "Never Can Say Goodbye"--even with the "triple drums" and descending bass lines. Not that that's a bad thing.

this sounds like never can say goodbye by the jacksons

[Verse 1]
Love is gnawing on my mind
Feeling real down, all dressed up in my new suit
Took my name, my site, my song
Been trying to find myself all day long
I heard them saying that love will be a curse or a restless friend
Love belongs in movies
Now I know I played with your heart
Cause when I turn back around I saw
You in someone else's arms
Walking around town, all dressed up making your move

[Pre-Chorus]
But I was scared to fall in love
I never thought I'd be the one, that will push you in her arms, oh!

[Chorus]
Oh baby, it's code
I want you to hold me, and love me until I want no more
And need me, and need me until I need no more
Baby, it's code
Baby, it's code

[Pre-Chorus]
But I was scared to fall in love
I never thought I'd be the one, that will push you in her arms, oh!

[Chorus]
Oh baby, it's code
I want you to hold me, and love me until I want no more
And need me, and need me until I need no more
Baby, it's code
Baby, it's code

[Bridge]
(Oh baby)
Oh baby, hey baby!
I want to be in your arms, ohh!
Please don't leave...

[Outro]
Please! I need a nurse
I've been...hurt!
I need a glass of Merlot Blanc
I know I was wrong, but can't you see the harm that's been done to me
Oh!

I’m getting Jackson 5 here

At first I heard gold then I heard cold😂💜💜💜

Who else hears the Jackson 5? This is one of my fav tracks on the album.

Why I feel like I heard this intro from somewhere but can't find where was it...

dawg blanky Logic- In my mind snippet?

Her music video for "Electric Lady."

this song came on shuffle while i was coding something

Heaven on Earth... Japan

Love this song, it has a classic Motown/J5 feel..

Best Album!!!

Just funky

I wanna marry Janelle monae

She gay

@Farmer with a shotgun She bi

She's a robot (electric lady)

she sound like little mike

This is beautiful

Sonically its modern day Jackson 5, the first min is a Rollercoaster of melody before settling into a smooth, loungy R&B feel. It's upbeat and groovy even through the vulnerability of the lyrics.

King Duke it's telling a story. ...it's apart of a whole saga

Now that you mentioned it, I do get a J5 vibe from this song.

Janelle Monae, I love this beautiful human being ! Yes, a classic J-5 feel, also that cool breeziness in some of the chord progressions of flutist Bobbi Humphrey https://youtu.be/REwHwZACGe0
