Whitney Houston - Whitney Album Lyrics

[Chorus]

Tell me are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely talking again.....

Now, the time before
When we got together
You promised you'd be forever true to me
But all I got from you
Was lots and lots of talking.....
Lonely nights filled with misery

So baby, please, please tell me now
That when I fulfill your needs
You won't up and leave me,
Even though you know I'll let you come back....
Tell me

[chorus]

[Chorus:]

What you need's a little change of heart
Forget this fear and frustration
Love will always play the greater part
When your battles wear you down
Here's my advice -
When you're feeling down and out
And you've got troubles on you mind
Love will save the day
When you're feeling full of doubt
And fear has got you in a bind
Love will save the day
When your worlds falling apart
All you have to do is say a prayer
And love will save the day
There's an answer in your heart
So let your light shine on my dear
And love will save the day
Love will save the day [X4]

Many things in this world bring you down
It's a wonder you can make it through the day
Well, you can't sleep cause your problems are to deep
And there's always something getting in the way
And when you turn on the evening news
Mass confusion is the only thing you see
Well there's no question that we need a new direction
Cause we all could use some peace and harmony

[chorus]

Love is gonna save the day
You've gotta believe it

[Chorus:]
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The night we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again

[chorus]

Didn't we have the beat of times
When love was young and new?
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The world of me and you?
We'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end

[chorus]

I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you wanna make me feel so good
I got a love of my own
Shouldn't get so hung up on you

[Chorus]

I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby

Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do

I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk I just watch your mouth

[chorus]

[Chorus]

But as I turned the page, and looked inside, there you were again
Oh these lonely times, they never seem to end -
You're too far
I know I should be there where you are

Today I did some shopping
Just had to clear my mind again
(I can't stop thinkin' 'bout cha)
I hopped into a taxi, seemed...
In a moment I was home... home again

[chorus]

Tossing and turning in my sleep
I can't make it without you, now
I'm gonna take the next plane out
I got to get to where you are
No matter how near or how far
Or then if you're a star
I know I should be there where you are

[chorus]

It's so perplexing
Why you fight it, won't you try it
Love's electric
Turn me on and see

[Chorus:]

Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in tight
If you wanna do it right, here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you wanna play the game
So grab my hand and.... slam!...

I hate to sound aggressive
But I'm tired of waitin' for your move
Cut the formalities
'Cause you've got a few things to prove
If you really want my love
I need to feel it down deep from within
Don't make me wait to long
I'm ready now, come and stroke my skin

Well all this talkin'
Worthless chatter, just don't matter
Time for stalkin'
Come get next to me

[chorus]

[Chorus]
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
We still belong together
You're still my man
Nothing can change it
Our love will last forever

And the seasons of our love
Will always change I know
Maybe that's the reason
You felt you had to go
But soon you'll be missing me
Darling, I know you well
There's a magic we share together
And no one can break that spell

[Chorus]

I'll wait for you
The thought that keeps me going each day
Is I believe you still love me
I love you more than words can say

[Chorus-Repeat]

[Chorus:]

I want to be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you

Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me
My loving me, yeah
Smoother then a gentle breeze
Flowing from my mind with ease
Soft as can be
Well, when you're loving me, ooh baby
Love to be
Riding the waves of love enchanted with your touch
It seems to me
We can sail together in and out of mystery

[chorus]

Paradise, I hafta think, can't feel as secure again
You're the key
And this I see
Now and then I lose my way
Confusing words to try and say what I feel
Yeah, your love is real
I might as well, sign my name on a card that's been saying better
See, time will tell
Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do

[chorus]

So here I am
And can you please tell me... oh

[Chorus:]
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me

I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away...
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind

[chorus]

And now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know...

[chorus]

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
