Count On Me Lyrics

2010-07-23T15:18:00.000-07:00

Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak, I will be strong
Helping you to carry on
Call on me, I will be there
Don’t be afraid
Please believe me when I say
Count on….

I can see it’s hurting you
I can feel your pain
It’s hard to see the sunshine through the rain oh
I know sometimes it seems as if it

Count on Me by : Whiteny Houston Lyrics

It's Not Right, But it's Okay

2010-07-21T20:10:00.000-07:00

Friday night you and your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out but you came home around three
If six of ya'll went out
Then four of you were really cheap
'Cause only two of you had dinner
I found your credit card receipt

[Refrain:]
It's not right but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
And don't you dare come
Running back to me
It's not right,but it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Close the door behind you
Leave your key
I'd rather be alone than unhappy

I pack your bags so you can leave town for a week
The phone rings and then you look at me
(Why'd you turn and look at me)
You said it was one of your friends
Down on 54th Street
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID

I've been through all this before
So how could you think
That I would stand around
And take some more
Things are gonna change
'Cause I won't be your fool anymore
That's why you have to leave
So don't turn around to see my face
There's no more tears
Left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that
See I'm moving on and I refuse to turn back
See all of this time I thought I had somebody down for Whitney
It turns out you were making a fool of me

It's Not Right, But it's Okay by : Whitney Houston Lyrics

I Wanna Dance With Somebody

2010-07-19T19:19:00.000-07:00

Huh, yeah, oh, hey, yeah, huh
Oh, yeah, uh, huh, yeah

Clock 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 to now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls, loneliness calls

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

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

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

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

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

Somebody oh, somebody oh
Somebody who loves me, yeah
Somebody oh, somebody oh
To hold me in his arms oh

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

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

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

Hoo, hoo, dance, c'mon baby he, he, he, he
Woo yeah he, he, he

Don'tcha wanna dance with me baby?
Don'tcha wanna dance with me boy?
Hey don'tcha wanna dance with me baby?
With somebody who loves me

Don'tcha wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Don'tcha wanna dance?
Don'tcha wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Don'tcha wanna dance?
Don'tcha wanna dance? Say you wanna dance uh, huh

With somebody who loves me
(Hoo, hoo)
Dance
(Hoo, hoo, hoo)
Hoo, hoo, baby

Greatest Love Of All

2010-07-16T19:28:00.000-07:00

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

Chorus
And if by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Greatest Love Of All - by : Whitney Houston Lyrics

I Look To You Lyrics

2010-07-14T10:38:00.000-07:00

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all

winter’s storm has come and darkened my sun
After all that we’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to

I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength is gone
In you I can move on

I look to you
I look to you

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song

I look to you

I Look To You - by : Whitney Houston Lyrics

How Will I Know Lyrics

2010-07-13T13:01:00.000-07:00

There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love

Chorus:
How will I know (Don't 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
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if he's thinking of me
I try to phone but I'm too shy (can't speak)
Falling in love is all bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak

Oh, wake me, I'm shaking, wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love

oh tell me

chorus

If he loves me, if he loves me not (X3)

chorus

How Will I Know Lyrics - by Whitney Houston Lyrics

Saving All My Love for You

2010-07-13T11:29:00.000-07:00

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family, and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist, being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you

It's not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you

You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy

I've got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
Cause tonight is the night, for a feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you

No other woman, is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night, that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah I'm saving all my lovin
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
For you, for you

Saving All My Love for You - By Whitney Houston Lyrics

Whitney Houston Biography

2010-07-13T05:52:00.000-07:00

Whitney Houston Biography - Whitney Houston was born August 9, 1963 in Newark, New Jersey. Her mother is gospel and R&B singer Cissy Houston and Dinne Warwick is a cousin. By the age of 11, Whitney Houston was performing as a soloist at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark. She attended the Roman Catholic School Mount Saint Dominic Academy. Whitney Houston counts Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight and Roberta Flack among her early musical influences.

Background Vocalist of Whitney Houston:

As a teenager Whitney Houston began touring with her mother as a backup vocalist. In 1978, at the age of 15, she backed Chaka Khan on the hit single "I'm Every Woman." Whitney Houston also sang on recordings by Lou Rawls and Jermaine Jackson. In addition to her music career, Houston began working as a model and appeared on the cover of Seventeen magazine. She made an appearance on the 1982 album One Down by Bill Laswell's avant funk band Material. Whitney Houston sang the ballad "Memories". Clive Davis signed Houston to a recording contract with Arista Records in 1983 after seeing her performance in a nightclub.

Whitney Houston's Debut Album:

Clive Davis did not rush the recording of Whitney Houston's self-titled debut. In the meantime she recorded "Hold Me," a duet with R&B legend Teddy Pendergrass. It became a top five R&B hit in 1984. The album Whitney Houston was released in March 1985. The first single "Someone For Me" was a relative failure and did not chart in the US or UK. The second single "You Give Good Love" took off with R&B audiences and eventually landed at the top of the R&B singles chart and #3 on the pop chart. The following three singles all topped the pop singles chart. The album sold over 13 million copies in the US.

Whitney Album:

Anticipation was very high for Whitney Houston's second solo album. Upon release in June 1987, some critics complained that Whitney was too similar to her first album. However, pop audiences disagreed. The first four singles all went to #1. Whitney Houston became the first recording artist to ever release seven consecutive singles that topped the Billboard Hot 100. She bypassed the previous record of six by the Beatles and Bee Gees. A fifth single from the album, "Love Will Save the Day," also hit the top 10. The album was the first by a female artist to debut at #1 on the US album chart.

Whitney Houston's Marriage to Bobby Brown:

Whitney Houston met R&B singer Bobby Brown at the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards. They dated for three years and married in 1992. Their relationship was beset with tabloid headlines and Bobby Brown's run-ins with the law. Their family was the subject of a reality TV show Being Bobby Brown which debuted on Bravo in 2004. The pair separated in September 2006, filed for divorce the following month, and the divorce was eventually finalized in April 2007.
Top Hit Singles:

1. "I Will Always Love You" - 1992
2. "Greatest Love Of All" - 1986
3. "How Will I Know" - 1985
4. "All the Man That I Need" - 1990
5. "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" - 1987
6. "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" - 1988
7. "Didn't We Almost Have It All" - 1987
8. "Saving All My Love for You" - 1985
9. "I'm Your Baby Tonight" - 1990
10. "So Emotional" - 1987

I'm Your Baby Tonight:

Whitney Houston's music took a more adamantly urban turn on her 1990 album I'm Your Baby Tonight. It included production by Babyface and Stevie Wonder among others. The album only reached #3 on the US chart but eventually sold over four million copies. The singles "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "All The Man That I Need" both topped the pop singles chart. In January 1991 Whitney Houston performed the "Star Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XXV and it was hailed as one of the most stunning televised performances ever.

Whitney Houston's Acting and The Bodyguard:

In the early 1990's Whitney Houston branched out beyond music into acting. Her first role was co-starring with Kevin Costner in 1992's The Bodyguard. She recorded six songs for the soundtrack of the film, and one of these, a cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" became the biggest hit of her career and one of the biggest pop hits of all time staying at #1 for 14 weeks. Whitney Houston later starred in the feature films Waiting to Exhale and The Preacher's Wife. "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)," released in 1995 on the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, is, at this point, Whitney Houston's final #1 pop hit.

My Love Is Your Love:

Whitney Houston's first studio, non-soundtrack, album in eight years was released in November 1998. My Love Is Your Love was heavily oriented toward the urban and dance markets. The album included "When You Believe," a duet with Mariah Carey, and four consecutive #1 dance hits, "Heartbreak Hotel," "It's Not Right, But It's OK," "My Love Is Your Love," and "I Learned From the Best." The album failed to reach the top 10 but ultimately sold four million copies and received some of the best reviews of Whitney Houston's career.

Whitney Houston's Decline and Return:

In the early 2000's rumors of drug use, missed performances, and late appearances all tarnished Whitney Houston's public image. She released her fifth studio album Just Whitney in 2002 to mixed reviews. The album debuted inside the top 10 on the album chart but failed to produce any top 40 singles. It did eventually sell a million copies. Whitney Houston released One Wish, a Christmas album, in 2003.

Whitney Houston embarked on a world concert tour in 2004, but the following few years found her doing little connected with music. In March 2007, as her divorce with Bobby Brown was being finalized, Clive Davis announced Houston would be going into the studio to record new material. After nearly two years of rumors, Whitney Houston took the stage at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy part in February 2009. Whitney Houston's next studio album, titled I Look To You, is due in stores August 31, 2009.
