Whitney Houston - My Love Is Your Love Lyrics

Its Not Right But Its Okay
Heartbreak Hotel
My Love Is Your Love
When You Believe
If I Told You That
In My Business
I Learned From The Best
Oh Yes
Get It Back
Until You Come Back
I Bow Out
Youll Never Stand Alone
I Was Made To Love Him

Its Not Right But Its Okay

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

[Chorus 1]
It's not right
But it's okay
I'm gonna make it anyway
Pack your bags up and leave
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'll pack your bags
So you can leave town for a week
The phone rings
And then you look at me
You said it was one of your friends
Down on 54th St.
So why did 213
Show up on your Caller I.D.

[Chorus 2]
I've been through all of this before
So how could you think
That I would stand around
And take some more
Things are gonna change
That's why you have to leave
So don't turn around to see my face
There's no more fears and tears
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 me
It turns out
You were making a fool of mee

[Chorus1 (5x until fade)]

This is the Heartbreak Hotel

You say
You say you never met him
But won't go back and tell 'em 'cause you playing two ways
Why did you say forever and then you change your weather?
Why you staying with me?
Fake when you around me
I usually back watching while I'm drownin'
Put me back together how you found me, ooh
(Look what you did to me) oh

You're showing no remorse
Just let it take it's course
Clearly, I see
You don't love me no more

(Hey) this is the
It's getting too late to talk about it, baby (oh)
It's fading, we lost touch
This is the (we lost touch)
This situation feeling shady, so gone, so off
This is the (Heartbreak Hotel)
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) oh
(This is the Heartbreak, oh, yeah)
You knew you wasn't ready, baby
Why not be honest?

All I really want is some more of your time
Wish I could read your mind, but instead you lie
What are you doing with me? (What are you doing with me?)
Oh-oh, what you do with me?
You like to say you came with me
Then turn to point the blame like I'm wrong
I get the picture frame in me (oh)
Been sleeping with the enemy, no
Don't appreciate that energy, yeah

You're showing no remorse
Just let it take it's course
Clearly, I see you don't love me no more, yeah

This is the
It's getting too late to talk about it, baby (oh)
It's fading, we lots touch (we lost touch, baby)

(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) hey, oh, oh
(This is the heartbreak)
You knew you wasn't ready, baby
Why not be honest?

All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What'd you do to me? (oh, baby)
Look what you did to me (you don't love me no more, ooh)
I thought that you were someone who would do me right (this is the hurt)
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry (the heartbreak)
What you'd do to me?
(Why'd you do it?) can't talk what you did to me

(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) all I really wanted was some of your time, oh, baby
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) instead, you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
(This is the Heartbreak Hotel) what'd you do to me? Ooh, all I really wanted, baby

My Love Is Your Love

(clap your hands, yall its alright....)

If tomorrow is judgement day (sing mommy)
And I'm standin' on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did w/ my life
I will say I spent it withyou

If I wake up in WW 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It's okay if youcommin' with me

Cause your love is my love
and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couln't hold us

If I lose my fame and fortune
And I'm homeless on the street
And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station
It's okay if you're sleepin' with me

As the years they pass us by
we stay young through eachother's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you babe

[chorus]

If I should die this very day
Don't cry, cause on earth we wasn't meant to stay
And no matter what people day
I'll be waiting for you after jusdement day

[chorus]

When You Believe

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts, a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could, oh yes

[1] - There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

Oh yeah, in this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'll say

[Repeat 1]

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says hope is very near, oh

[Repeat 1]

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe
I believe, I believe
Just believe
You will when you believe

If I Told You That

Now tell me how you feel if I told
You that I have feelings for you
Ansd would it be so wrong to say
What's on my mind
I'm sorry I have to
We were friends but with time
What I feel inside for you has changed
But I'd give up on love, if I thought
That it was untrue for you

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)

I know that we were just friends
But what if I decide to bring somethings in
I hope it won't offend the trust
We have cause I don't want this to end
I you think that we'll lose what we have
Then I'd just rather stay (rather stay) the same
(I'd rather stay the same)
Cause I don't wanna choose
Between two of the most precious things to me
(tell me)

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)

If we take this chance and extend
To each other romance
I hope it would be
The right thing for you and me

(If I told you that) I wanted to see you
(And if I told you that) I beg to please you
(If I told you that) I'll always keep you
What would you say (if I told you that)

Would you be there for me
Could you dare to hold me
Will my feelings leave me
Lonely if I told you

In My Business

Baby why I get so many people telling
Me they seen you up in
The mall
Are they mistaking
All up on some chick
As though I don't exist
What is this
Why they all up in our business
It's just 2 ridiculous
I can't get no sleep
They just keep warning me
Should I believe it
They say I don't need it
I just can't make up my mind
Up my mind
Honey 2 many people say you're faking me
They ask what have you done lately
They say we won't last so they are predicting
That it's over, it's over
Too many girls they dislike me
Since I got you
They wanna fight me
Cause I'm the chick walking around
With the ring
Tell me why these hoes don't even like me

Why they all up in our business
It's just 2 ridiculous
I can't get no sleep
They just keep warning me
Should I believe it
They say I don't need it
I just can't make up my mind
Up my mind

Oh boy it's all the love that you're giving
They mind cause love is what they're missing
That's why they stay up in our business

I Learned From The Best

Did you really think that
I would really take you back
Let you back in my heart
One more time, oh, no no

Did you think I'd still care
That there'd be more feeling there
Did you think you could walk back
In my life, oh

So you found you missed the love you threw away
Baby, but 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
And 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

Would a 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've
Changed 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 when you broke my world in two
And 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 night
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
I learned from the best, I learned from you
Oh baby, now, I learned from you

I learned from the best
I learned from you

Oh Yes

The day you held me in your arms
I still smell da scent of you
On my dress unbelievable
And you was so masculine
The way I felt youir chest up next to mine
I fell you in my heart
Now I breathe love
You are so amazing
Unbelievable baby
It's you that make me smile
When everything gets crazy
And you the one I love
No other man can faze me
Cause you're in my heart
Every minute, daily
The time you looked into my eyes
I felt like falling in love
And I was mesmerized
Cause it's something you do
That makes me feel thuis way
I can't explain
You're my joy peace and happiness
And you...
You are so amazing
Unbelievable baby
It's you that make me smile
When everything gets crazy
And you the one I love
No other man can faze me
Cause you're in my heart
Every minute, daily

Get It Back

Remember when
It all began
We were all in love
Then came the friends
Telling you when your time for me
Was good enough
I constantly had to compete
With you crew and their schemes
Remembering
Back in the day I used to mean everything
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
Now tell me why
All of them nights
You had so much to go
When you said bye
Sometimes I tried, I tried
To make you choose
Now tell me how you can allow
You boys to control the time
We shared it was unfair
But now it's time for you to know
(Now if I told you)
That I'm moving on
(Boy what would you do)
Things just ain't the same
(We were supposed to)
Conquer everything, yeah
(Boy let me tell you)
You're got to make a change
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)
(Do you rememebr)
The way you used to love
You would kiss and hug me
(I rememebr)
U haven't lately
(Do you remember)
All the things you gave me
Everywhere you'd take me
(Can't you see that)
I really really need you back
If we could just get it back
(To the way it used to be)
My only wish would be that
(Nothing would change with you and me)
I remember how it was
(And I know that for a fact)
We were oh so deep in love
(If we could just get it back)

Until You Come Back

I lost my heart
A long time ago
You make me feel
Like no one had before
Boy you make me love you
Then you walked out the door
Well I will not rest
Until the say I am forever yours

And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't give you up and
You've gotta feel sometthing I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Till you come back to me baby
Until you come back (to me)

Don't care how long
It's not important to me
Don't care how far
Love's never too far for me
I just might be crazy
When it comes to my heart
But I can not rest
Until the day we're no longer apart

And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't get you up and
You've gotta feel sometimes I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Till you come back to me baby
Until you come back (to me)

Nobody plays with my heart
U can't walk away from it all
U can run but your heart cannot hide
Cause it knows you belong in my life

I Bow Out

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

[Chorus:]
This time I won't play this game
I made a vow to make a change
And I bow out
I won't be hanging around, baby
I decline to take the pain
And I resign the masquerade
And 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 baby
It's time for a change of scene
Guess I'll be taking my leave
I guess I won't, I won't stay in this play
Not for one minute
I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make my exit now
Oh baby

[Repeat Chorus]

When you're left standing on that stage all alone
Maybe you will realize
You should of 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
Oh baby, all right babe

Youll Never Stand Alone

If there's a time
When the tears should fill your eyes
And you can't see past the shadows
To the sun on the other side

You'll never stand alone

Don't lose hope

All the hurt and pain, oh yes, no
Standing by to carry you through
All the tears and rain, reach for me

I Was Made To Love Him

Hey, oh, hey hey hey
See I was born in Newark (sure was)

We were always hand in hand
He wore high top shoes and shirt tales
Nip wore her pigtails
I knew I loved him even then
You know some disapproved it
They even boo-hooed it
But I told them time and time and time again

You know I was made to love him
Build my world around him and
Hey, hey, hey
He's been my inspiration
Sho' nuff appeciation
For the love I gave him through the years

Like a sweet magnolia trea
My love blossomed tenderly
My love grew sweeter through the years

I know my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years

I was made to love him
Worship and adore him, yes say
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, oh Lord

All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
But I love my baby, love my baby, oh

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
I know I ain't going nowhere
I was just a little thing
The love bug hit me
I had the fever with each passing year

If all should tumble
And the whole world crumble
By his side I'll still be standing, yeah

Cuz I was made to love him
Made meant for him, say
Hey, hey, hey
I was made to love him
Build my world all around him say
Hey, hey, hey

I love my baby
Nip aint' going nowhere
Say hey, hey, hey

My Love Is Your Love Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

My Love Is Your Love is the fourth studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released worldwide on November 17, 1998. It was Houston's first studio album in eight years, following I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990) although she had participated on three movie soundtracks during that period. My Love Is Your Love is composed of mid-tempo R&B, hip hop soul, pop and dance music, produced by musicians such as Whitney Houston herself, Rodney Jerkins, Soulshock & Karlin, Missy Elliott, Wyclef Jean, David Foster, Lauryn Hill, and Babyface.

It is notable for introducing elements of hip hop into Houston's work, only sparingly used in her previous material. The album was globally successful, selling over 10 million copies. It was certified four times platinum in the United States. Particularly, the album was a hit in Europe, peaking #1 for 6 weeks on European Top 100 Albums, selling over 4.3 million copies. It generated several hit singles: "When You Believe", a duet with Mariah Carey, which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 71st Academy Awards ceremony; "Heartbreak Hotel", which features Kelly Price and Faith Evans; "It's Not Right but It's Okay". The title track "My Love Is Your Love", was certified platinum and became Houston's third-best-selling single ever; and "I Learned from the Best".

My Love Is Your Love received positive reviews and is regarded as one of her best studio albums. At the 42nd Grammy Awards of 2000, the album received seven nominations, including Best R&B Album and Best R&B Song, twice. Houston won for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "It's Not Right But It's Okay", her sixth and final Grammy Award.
