In My House

About In My House

"In My House" is a song produced, written and arranged by American musician Rick James and recorded by his protégées, the Mary Jane Girls, for their second studio album Only Four You (1985). It was released as the album's lead single on October 1984, by Gordy Records. In the United States, the single went to number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in April 1985 and remained atop the chart for two weeks. It was also a top-ten hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, peaking at number seven on the Hot 100 in June 1985 and remained in the Top 40 for 12 weeks. It is the group's biggest hit and their only Top 40 hit, although they have had other singles succeed on both the R&B and Dance singles charts. In 1984, the Parents Music Resource Center was organized in the United States to draw attention to music which the group believed contained inappropriate content for children. "In My House" was chosen on the group's "Filthy Fifteen" list due to its alleged sexual innuendo. However, during the VH1 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s program, the group went on record as saying the song is not about sex, but about love. The group's follow-up single, "Wild and Crazy Love," was even more suggestive in its lyrics content, but the PMRC was not known to have attacked it as openly as it condemned "In My House." more »

Well you can just believe 
I'm the only girl in your life
I'll be your sugar in the morning 
And the sweet stuff you need at night
And you can just make believe
When it comes down to makin' love
I'll satisfy your every need 
And every fantasy you think up

[Chorus]
So when you need a little peace of mind
Come on over boy, anytime
I'll keep you happy and so satisfied
In my house, in my house

So when you need some lovin' tenderness
And it's me baby that you miss
Here's the key to unlock the door
To my house (to my house)
wo-oo-oo-oo- in my house
wo-oo-oo-oo in my house

Well anytime of the day or night
When you call me I'll be there
Just call me up on the phone 
When you need someone around to care
And when you feel sad and blue
You just come and see me anytime
I'll be waitin' for you dear
And your fears you can leave behind
So when you need a little peace of mind
Come on over boy, anytime
I'll keep you happy and so satisfied
In my house, in my house
So when you need some love and tenderness
And it's me baby that you miss
Here's the key to unlock the door to my house (to my house)
In my house
In my house
In my house.

The Mary Jane Girls

The Mary Jane Girls were an American girl group formed in 1983, best known for their songs "In My House", "All Night Long", "Candy Man", and their cover version of "Walk Like a Man". They were protégées of musician Rick James and disbanded in 1987. Joanne "Jojo" McDuffie was the lead singer, the others filling out the group's style and appearance. On the studio recordings, McDuffie was backed by session vocalists rather than the other Mary Jane Girls. The group released two albums in the 1980s, and recorded a third – which was shelved for decades but finally released in 2014 as part of a larger Rick James retrospective. The group was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2019. more »
