About Fast Girls

"Fast Girls" is a song by Janet Jackson and is the second and final single released from Dream Street. It peaked at #40 on the R&B charts. The song was written and produced by fellow A&M artist Jesse Johnson. The single had two different B-sides. The first B-side was "Love and My Best Friend", taken from her debut album Janet Jackson, while the second B-Side was the French Blue medley of "Fast Girls" and "Pretty Boy", which, like "Fast Girls", was also written and produced by Jesse Johnson. The album version of "Fast Girls" was later released as the B-side of both her US singles "Control" and "The Pleasure Principle". Jesse Johnson's own version of "Fast Girls" was released shortly after as the B-side to his "I Want My Girl" single in 1985. To date, Jackson has never performed the song live.

Fast girls are true, they're all you really need
No one that stands more responsibility
If you're afraid 'bout havin' to get too deep
Let me, baby, cure your insecurities

[Chorus]
Fast girls, a physical attraction
Fast girls, a one on one reaction
Fast girls, true love is guaranteed
Fast girls are all you really need

Fast girls is true like angels in the mornin'
Disappear without a warning
Kinda strange that I can't deny
Sweet and fast, you'll never ever say goodbye

[Chorus]

Breakdown

Fast girls like to take your breath away
Words of love, not affairs of yesterday
If strange desires are toying with your fate
Fast love baby will never let you wait

[Chorus]
