Whitney Houston

Run to you

I know that when you look at me
Theres so much that you just dont see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart youd find
A girl whos scared sometimes
Who isnt always strong
Cant you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Wont you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
Theres nobody there, no one cares for me
Whats the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what does it mean?

(chorus)

I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears
If you only knew how much...

(chorus)

The queen of the night

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
to make you drop to your knees
'Cause I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Yeah

Don't make no difference if I'm wrong or I'm right
I've got the feeling & I'm willing tonight
Well I ain't nobody's angel
What can I say?
Well I'm just that way
Hey, ey

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
to make you drop to your knees
'Cause I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Just say it, say it, say it
'Cause I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Yeah

You've got a problem with the way that I am
They say I'm trouble and I don't give a damn
But when I'm bad, I know I'm better
I just wanna get loose
And turn it up for you, baby

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
to make you drop to your knees
'Cause I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Just say it, say it again
'Cause I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night

I will always love you

If I
Should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you every step of
the way

And I...
Will always
Love you, oohh
Will always
Love you
You
My darling you
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet
Memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So good-bye
Please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you
You need

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you
You, ooh

[Instrumental / Sax solo]

I hope
life treats you kind
And I hope
you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy
and happiness
But above all this
I wish you love

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you
[Repeat]

I, I will always love
You....
You
Darling I love you
I'll always
I'll always
Love
You..
Oooh
Ooohhh

I have nothing

Share my life, take me for what I am
Cause I'll never change all my colours for you
Take my love, I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are and everything that you do

I don't really need to look very much further
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide


Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing
If I don't have you, you, you, you, you, you...

You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love ( m.m.m.ooh....)
I never knew love like I've known it with you
Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I don't really need to look very much farther
I don't want to have to go where you don't follow
I won't hold it back again, this passion inside
I Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
Your love I'll remember, forever

Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me...
I have nothing, nothing, nothing...

...Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Or must I imagine you there
Don't walk away from me no...
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing, nothing, noth-i-ng
If I don't have you, you
If I don't have you
oh you

All the man that I need

I used to cry myself to sleep at night
But that was all before he came
I thought love had to hurt to turn out right
But now he's here
It's not the same, it's not the same

[Chorus:]
He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got,
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need

And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down and rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close and won't let go
He won't let go

[chorus]

How will I know

Theres a boy I know, hes the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh I lose control, cant seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love

Chorus:
How will I know (dont trust your feelings)
How will I know
How will I know (love can be deceiving)
How will I know
How will I know if he really loves me
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
Im asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if hes thinking of me
I try to phone but Im too shy (cant speak)
Falling in love is all bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak

Oh, wake me, Im shaking, wish I had you near me now
Said theres no mistaking, what I feel is really love

Chorus

If he loves me, if he loves me not (x3)

All At Once

All at once,
I finally took a moment and I'm realizing that
You're not coming back
And it finally hit me all at once
All at once,
I started counting teardrops and at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell,
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

Chorus:
Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once

All at once,
I looked around and found that you were with another love
In someone else's arms,
And all my dreams were shattered, all at once
All at once
The smile that used to greet me brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories, all at once

I Bow Out

I tired of playing this game
And I won't play it no more
And I won't take it no more
Through with being your fool
And I won't do it no more
And I won't, I won't keep up this act
Not for one minute
I'm gonna pull,
I'm gonna pull this curtain down

This time I won't play this game
I made a bow to make a change and
I Bow Out (I won't be hanging around baby)
I decline to take the pain
I resign the masquerade
I Bow Out (I won't be staying around baby)
I Bow Out

Can't go on with the show
You're just a stage I went through
Now you're just fading from view. Yeah!
Time for a change of scene
Guess I'll be taking my leaveI guess
I won't, I won't stay in this play
Not for one minute
I gonna make, I wanna make my exit now

This time I won't play this game
I made a bow to make a change and
I Bow Out (I won't be hanging around baby)
I decline to take the pain
I resign the masquerade and
I Bow Out (I won't be staying around baby)
I Bow Out

When your left standing on that stage all alone
Maybe you'll realize
You should have learned to treat me right
And when this final act is finally through
Maybe you'll wish you'd been
The kind of man you should have been
Now watch me say goodbye and walk right out of your life

Lover For Life

I hope you realize baby
Just what you mean to me
Hey you where I run for cover
Your loving shelter for me
And when I find myself needing some lifting up
One night with you and that always is enough
Hey you make being in love
A true rare affair
So take me I'm your prisoner

Will you sentence me to be your
lover for life
Your lover for life
Will you sentence me
I want to be your lover for life
Your lover for life isn´t a lover

I just want to hear you say
You'll be my lover, lover for life
Capture, there's no getaway
You're my lover, my lover for life

Under your spell or under my own power
It really doesn't matter to me
See I fell in love the first time I saw you
And have been falling in love ever since

You heard my testimony
You've seen my evidence
Hey, it's a crime of passion
In every sense
And justice would decide
If you stay here in my world
Take me, I'm your prisoner

CHORUS

Heartbreak Hotel

[Featuring Faith Evans, Kelly Price]


Intro:
This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel
This is the heartbreak hotel
(repeat)

I (Whitney)
You said you'd be here by 9
Instead you took your time
You didn't think to call me, boy
Here I sit, tryin' not to cry
Askin' myself why
You'd do this to me

Refrain (Faith)
Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
I'm writin' you this letter, and this is what I have to say

Chorus
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What you do to me, look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me, can't take what you did to me

II (Whitney)
Now I see that you've been doin' wrong
You played me all along
And made a fool of me, baby
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out
(Uh!)
That you were cheatin' on me baby
How could you do it to me

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind (what you
did...)
What you do to me, look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me (why you do it?), can't take what you did to me (you
didn't have to do it to me, baby)

(Repeat Intro)

(repeat chorus 2x)

I ain't gon' take it..... I ain't gon' take it boy
(fade)

Hold Me

I'll hold you, and touch you
And make you my woman
And give you my love with sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
And I will hold you, touch you
And make you my woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty

[Chorus:]
Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure
Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

I believe you when you say that you love me
Know that I won't take you for granted
Tonight the magic has begun
So won't you hold me, touch me
Make me your woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me

[chorus]

I'll hold you
And touch you
And make you my woman (make me your woman) tonight

[chorus]

I Believe In You And Me

I believe in you and me
I believe that we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You will always be the one for me
Oh yes you will

And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
Cos' I believe in you and me

I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down
See I will always be around

Just to be right where you are
My love, you know I love you
I will never leave you out
I will always let you in
To places no one's ever been
Deep inside, can't you see
That I believe in you and me

Maybe I'm a fool
To feel the way I do
But I will play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever

I believe in miracles
And love's a miracle
Baby you're my dream come true
I was lost, now I'm free
I believe in you and me
See I was lost, now I'm free
'Cause I believe in you and me
Believe in you and me

I Know Him So Well

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
From wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back, I could have done it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well

Wasn't it good, Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then

Wasn't it good (oh so good), Wasn't it fine (so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine

Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart

Wasn't it fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little more than before
Security, he needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took some to understand him
Hoo ooh I know him so well

I wanna dance with somebody

Clocks strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls the lonelynes calls

Chorus:
Oh! Wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah! Wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
(x2)
I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls

Chorus

Oh! Wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah! Wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

Somebody who, somebody who
somebody who loves me
Somebody who, somebody who
to hold me in his arms up

I need a man who take the chance
for the love that burn holding up to lance
So when the night falls my lonely hart calls

Chorus(x2)
Don't you wanna dance
with my baby
don't you wanna dance
with my boy
Hey, to wanne dance
with my baby
With somebody who loves me

don't you wanna dance, say you wanna dance
don't you wanna dance(x2)
don't you wanna dance, say you wanna dance
Aha, With somebody who loves me

I Learned From The Best

Did you really think that
I would really take it back
Let you back in my heart one more time (oh no no)
Did you think I'd still care
That they'd be more feeling there
Did you think you could walk back in my life
So, you found you missed the love you threw away
Baby, you found it out too late, too late!
And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
Baby, I learned the way to break a heart,
I learned from the best
I learned from you
Oh baby now, I learned from you!
I remember cold nights
Tears I thought would never dry
How you shattered my world
With your goodbye (your goodbye baby)
Would have sold my soul then
Just to have you back again
Now you are the last thing on my mind
Now you say you're sorry and
You'll change your ways
Sorry, but you changed your ways too late!
And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried (the way that I cried) when you broke my world in two
Baby I learned the way to break a heart,
I learned from the best
I learned from you
Oh baby now, I learned from you
So when all you've got are sleepless nights
When those tears are clouding up your eyes
Just remember it was you who said goodbye (who said goodbye)
And so you know the way it feels to cry
The way that I cried when you broke my world in two
And, Baby, I learned the way to break a heart (break a heart)
I learned from the best
I learned from you
Baby I learned the way to break a heart(break a heart)
I learned from the best
I learned from you
I learned from the best
I learned from you
