    Lyrics:
    Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    Are you a guard in prison maximum security?
    Is that you? is that you? Is that you?
    do we stay home all the time because you want me to yourself?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    Or am I stay locked away out of fear I'll find someone else?
    Is that you Is that you Is that you?
    Well I don't like (o-hoo)
    Living under your spotlight (o-hoo)
    Just because you think I might (o-hoo)
    Find somebody worthy

    As a guy this song speaks deeply to me. Don't ever use a woman selfishly.. thinking you're Gods gift to her. If that's the way one thinks.. then they shouldn't be in a relationship...that is not love. True love is serving the other with a deep appreciation that they are yours.

Now at 26yrs old I still love this song & after my 5yr toxic relationship with my children’s father has ended I clearly understand every lyric & that “living under your spotlight” line is ever so accurate & relevant to me right now.

    The “treat me right, you don’t have to worry” flew right over my head the first time. But now I get it. If you treat your partner right, you don’t have to worry or be possessive because your partner knows you treat them right so there is no worry of cheating.

    [Verse 1]
    Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Are you a guard in a prison, maximum security?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Do we stay home all the time because you want me to yourself?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Or am I locked away, out of fear that I'll find someone else?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
    [Chorus]
    Well, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight
    Just because you think I might
    Find somebody worthy (Worthy)
    No, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight
    Maybe if you treat me right
    You won't have to worry
    [Verse 2]
    Is this a relationship fulfilling your needs as well as mine?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Or is this just my sentence? Am I doing time?
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    Oh, if this love, real real love, then I'm staying, no doubt
    (Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?)
    But if I'm just love's prisoner, then I'm bustin' out
    (Is that you? Is that you? Yeah)
    [Chorus]
    Oh, baby, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight (Spotlight)
    Just because you think I might (Just because you think I might)
    Find somebody worthy (Find somebody worthy)
    No, I don't like (I don't like)
    Living under your spotlight (Living under your, under your)
    Maybe if you treat me right (Treat me right)
    You won't have to worry (You won't have to worry, no, no)
    [Bridge]
    Oh, you oughta be
    Ashamed of yourself
    What the hell do you think you're doing
    Lovin' me, lovin' me?
    So wrong
    Baby, all I do is try (Try)
    To show you that you're my (My)
    One and only guy (My guy)
    No matter who may come along
    Open your eyes, 'cause baby, I don't like
    [Chorus]
    Hey, 'cause I don't like
    Living under your spotlight (Oh no)
    Just because you think I might
    Find somebody worthy (Find somebody worthy)
    No, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight (Living under your spotlight)
    Maybe if you treat me right (Treat me right, yeah)
    You won't have to worry (You don't ever have to worry)

    Spotlight"
    [Verse 1]
    Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    Are you a guard in a prison maximum security?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    Do we stay home all the time 'cause you want me to yourself?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    Or am I locked away out of fear that I'll find someone else?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    [Chorus]
    Well, I don't like (o-hoo)
    Living under your spotlight (o-hoo)
    Just because you think I might (o-hoo)
    Find somebody worthy
    Oh, I don't like (o-hoo)
    Living under your spotlight
    Maybe if you treat me right
    You won't have to worry
    [Verse 2]
    Is this a relationship:
    Fulfilling your needs as well as mine?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    Or is this just my sentence
    Am I doing time?
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    If this is love, real, real love
    Then I'm staying no doubt
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    But if I'm just love's prisoner
    Then I'm busting out (oh)
    Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
    [Chorus]
    [Bridge]
    Oh, you ought to be ashamed of yourself
    What the hell do you think you're doing
    Loving me, loving me so wrong?
    Baby, all I do is try (try)
    To show you that you're mine (mine)
    One and only guy (only guy)
    No matter who may come along
    Open your eyes 'cause, baby, I don't like
    Ooh, ooh (oh, oh)
    Ooh, ooh (hey, 'cause I don't like!)
    Well, I don't like
    Living under your spotlight (no, no)
    Just because you think I might (hee)
    Find somebody worthy (no, I don't like, yeah)
    And I don't like
    Living under your spotlight (living under your spotlight)
    Maybe if you treat me right (treat me right, yeah!)
    You won't have to worry

    When I think about her sister and how she lost her family to a violent, heartless partner..and how it must feel to think of them in the quiet, dark fog of fame and remember that they should be here....but because of hate & harm.they are not. I am always there with Jennifer, in the quiet solemn pain of what love can cost some of us.

    Jennifer doesn’t need a weave, a second name, a fancy dress or an over the top dress or dancers.
    All she needs is her and the mic...and the spotlight.
    That voice is too rich. It’s should be recorded in a box and placed in a time capsule or a museum or something

      She needs something because her voice alone is not cutting it. All her albums were complete FLOPS. She have nothing to show for herself as an artist EXCEPT doing tributes to other artist singing their songs. Jennifer is just in that group of singers with a voice, but is NOT marketable. There is no doubt about her vocal ability, but she have no stage presence and no one is buying her music. So far she have all the wrong people backing her. She will probably do well with a gospel album, but not with pop. With the right management and image consultant, her music career would take off. For now I guess she's okay with singing other people's songs in tributes.

      You’re trying to shade Beyoncé but Beyoncé didn’t become a millionaire by listening to people’s opinions...she’s set for life and she’s talented. No comparison at all..these are two completely different women with different personalities. 💁🏽‍♀️

      @@PLAYDIRTY1000 first of all, I think you should get your facts straight, because, she has won many awards for her singing (especially R&B) and for her acting, so your idea of her having no stage presence doesn't make sense. And also. She might have the wrong people backing her, but don't get it twisted ajout the rest of the things, you are simply saying things with nothing to show for it.
