[Intro]
Ah
Yeah, woo
Hey, yeah, ah
Ooh, yeah, uh-huh
Yeah
I wanna dance

[Verse 1]
Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away

[Pre-Chorus]
I've done alright up 'til now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls
The loneliness calls

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

[Verse 2]
I've been in love and lost to my senses
Spinnin' through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feelin' down

[Pre-Chorus]
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, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

[Bridge]
Somebody who, somebody who
Somebody who loves me, yeah
Somebody who, somebody who
To hold me in his arms, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
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, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh (Dance)
Come on, baby (Dance)
Woo, yeah (Dance)
Now get with this, woah (Dance)
Don't you wanna dance (Dance) with me, baby?
Don't you wanna dance (Dance) with me, boy?
Hey, don't you wanna dance (Dance) with me, baby?
With somebody who loves me
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance? (Dance)
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Don't you wanna dance? (Dance)
Don't you wanna dance? Say you wanna dance
Uh-huh (Dance)
With somebody who loves me
Ooh, ooh (Dance)
Ooh, ooh (Dance)
Ooh, ooh (Dance)
Hey, baby
Don't you wanna love, don't you wanna love me?
				

[Verse 1]
It's the second time around
For you and I, boy
And believe me, it's confusing me
I'm afraid to say "Let's make up" and all's forgiven
But something tells me I'm headed for heartbreak
So darling, please, I'm praying that
This time, yeah, this time will be different
That you and I can share this dream that I visualize

[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? (Lonely talking again)

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[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? (Lonely talking again)

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, hey boy, hey baby)
(sweet baby, ah, ah)
(Ooh, sweet baby, do-do-do-do-do)
Really need to know

[Chorus]
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? (Lonely talking again)
(Ooh, ooh)
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? (Lonely talking again)
Tell me now, I really wanna know
Really got to know, oh

[Outro]
Are you really ready for love, boy?
(Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready?)
(Tell me, are you ready?)
Just the lonely talking again?
(Are you ready? Are you ready? Need to know now, boy)
Are you really ready for love, boy
(Really wanna know, really wanna know, I really need to know)
(Are we gonna talk? Are we gonna talk? Are we gonna talk?)
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
(No, no, no, no, no)
Are you really ready for love, boy?
(Need to know, I really wanna know, you tell me now, boy)
Just the lonely talking again
(Gotta know, are you ready? No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Are you really ready for love, boy?
(I need to know, gotta know, are you ready?)
				

[Verse 1]
Sometimes life can make you crazy
It can really put your body to the test
You try so hard to make sure everything goes right
And you find you've only wound up with a mess
It's a common situation
Even though you feel abandoned and alone
Child, you ain't the first to experience the hurt
So don't panic when you hit the danger zone

[Pre-Chorus]
What you need's a little change of heart (Change of heart)
Forget this fear and frustration
Love will always play the greater part (Greater part)
When your battles wear you down
Here's my advice

[Chorus]
When you're feeling down and out
And you've got troubles on your 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 world's 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
Love will save the day
Love will save the day
Love will save the day

[Verse 2]
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 too 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'll see
Well, there's no question that we need a new direction
'Cause we all could use some peace and harmony

[Pre-Chorus]
What you need's a little change of heart (Change of heart)
Forget this fear and frustration
Love will always play the greater part (Greater part)
When your battles wear you down
Here's my advice
Here's my advice

[Chorus]
When you're feeling down and out
And you've got troubles on your mind
Love will save the day
When you're feeling full of doubt

When your world's 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
Love will save the day
Love will save the day
Love will save the day
[Bridge]
Love is gonna save the day
You gotta believe it
You gotta believe it, you're—
Na na na na na na na (Oh)
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you need little change of heart (Change of heart)
Forget this fear and frustration
'Cause love will always play the greater part (Greater part)
When your battles wear you down
Here's my advice
Here's my advice

[Chorus]
When you're feeling down and out
And you've got troubles on your mind
Love will save the day (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 (You better believe it's gonna save the day)
When your world's falling apart
All you have to do is say a prayer
And love will save the day (Love is gonna save the day, uh-huh)
There's an answer in your heart
So let your light shine on, my dear
And love will save the day (You better believe, you better believe it's gonna)
When you're feeling down and out
And you've got troubles on your mind
Love will save the day (Love is gonna save the day, uh-huh)
When you're feeling full of doubt (Love is, love is)
And fear has got you in a bind

[Verse 1]
Remember when we held on in the rain
The nights we almost lost it
Once again, we can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you, I feel it all again

[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 nights we held on 'til the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all?

[Verse 2]
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 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 nights we held on 'til the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all?

[Bridge]
Didn't we have the best 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
Because once you know what love is
You never let it end

[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 nights we held on 'til the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all?
Didn't we almost have it all?
				

[Intro]
I don't know why I like it, huh
I just do
Woo, ooh
Ooh

[Verse 1]
I've been hearin' your heartbeat inside of me
I keep your photo right beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head, uh
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, babe
I shouldn't get so hung up on you

[Pre-Chorus]
I remember the way that we touched
I wish I didn't like it so much
Ah, uh

[Chorus]
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do?

[Post-Chorus]
Ain't it shocking what love can do?
Ain't it shocking what love can do? Hee

[Verse 2]
I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
I gotta watch you walk out, yes, I do
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk, I just watch your mouth

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I remember the way that we touched
I wish I didn't like it so much
Ooh

[Chorus]
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do?
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do?

[Post-Chorus]
Ain't it shocking what love can do?
Ain't it shocking, love can do
Hee-hee
[Interlude]
Uh
Ha
Can you work on me? Work on me
Haha

[Pre-Chorus]
See, I remember the way that we touched
I wish I didn't like it so much
No, no, no

[Chorus]
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do?
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do?

[Outro]
I get so emotional
I get so emotional, baby (Oh, baby)
Shocking what love can do (Do-do-do-do-do)
I get so emotional, baby (Hey, yeah, baby, baby, baby)
Every time I think of you (Baby, baby, baby)
I get so emotional, baby (Oh)
Ain't it shocking what love can do? You know what it does
I get so emotional, baby (Yeah, babe, yeah, baby)
Every time I think of you (You know what I mean, hee, hee, hoo)
I get so emotional, baby (Hey, yeah, baby)
Shocking what love can do, ooh-ooh
				

[Verse 1]
I saw the news this morning
And saw your face across the screen
And as I poured my coffee
I picked up a magazine

[Chorus]
But as I turned the page (Ooh), and stepped inside (Inside)
There you were again (There you were)
Oh, those lonely times, they never seem to end
You're too far
I know I should be there where you are

[Verse 2]
Today I did some shopping
Just had to clear my mind again
(I can't stop thinking about you)
Hopped into a taxi
And in a moment I was home
Home again

[Chorus]
But as I turned the page (Ooh), and stepped inside (Inside)
My heart would not pretend (Not pretend)
Oh, those feelings, not those feeling, not again
You're too far
I know I should be there where you are

[Bridge]
Tossing and turning in my sleep (In my sleep)
I can't make it without you, now (Make it without you)
I'm gonna catch the next plane out (Next plane out)
I've got to get to where you are (Where you are)
No matter how near or far
I've got to get to where you are (Ooh)

[Chorus]
But as I turned the page (Ooh), and stepped inside (Inside)
My heart would not pretend (Not pretend)
Oh, those lonely times, they never seem to end
You're too far
'Cause I know I should be there where you are

[Outro]
(I wanna be where you are) I wanna be
(I wanna be where you are) I need to be
(I wanna be where you are) Oh, I wanna be
(I wanna be where you are) Oh, I wanna be, baby
(I wanna be where you are) You know I need to be
(I wanna be where you are)
I know I should be there where you are (Ooh)
				

[Intro]
Contact
Contact
Ah, ah, ah, ooh-ah, yeah

[Verse 1]
You've been avoiding me
Like a cat tryna dodge a dog
I never see you shine
You're as cold as the London fog
You claim you want my love
I wouldn't know by the way you behave
If you wanna feel the thrill of my touch
You better come out of your cave

[Pre-Chorus 1]
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 time
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
Slam
(Ah, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
I hate to sound aggressive
But I'm tired of waiting 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 within
Don't make me wait too long
I'm ready now, come and stroke my skin

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, all this talking
Worthless chatter just don't matter
Time for stalkin'
Come get next to me

[Chorus]
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
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
Slam
[Interlude]
Hey boy (Ooh)
Why don't ya come on over
So we can make that
Contact?
You dig?

[Bridge]
It's so perplexing
Why you fight it? Won't you try it?
Love's electric
Come get next to me
Contact

[Chorus]
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
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
Love is (Love is) a contact sport
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you wanna do it right
Here I am
Love is a contact sport (A contact sport)
You gotta act untamed
If you wanna play the game (Oh boy)
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in time
If you wanna do it right
				

[Verse 1]
On the day that you left me
You said you had no regrets
There's a bond between us
That hasn't been broken yet
And the feelings between us
Will never disappear
How can you be far away
When your spirit's here?

[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

[Verse 2]
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]
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

[Bridge]
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]
You're still my man (My man)
Nothing's gonna change it
Don't you know? You oughta know
We belong together
You're still my man (My man)
And nothing can change it
Oh, baby, oh, darling, you're in my heart forever
Cause you're my man
Without you, nothing to love at all
You're still my man (My man)
Nothing can change it
Don't you know? You oughta know
We belong together (We belong together)
Oh, you're still my man (You're still my man)
Nothing can change it
Oh, baby (Oh, baby), oh, darling (Oh, darling)
You're in my heart forever
[Outro]
You're still my man (My man)
And nothing can change it
I am yours (I am yours)
You know you're mine (You know you're mine)
You're in my heart forever
You're still my man (My man)
Nothing can change it
Don't you know? You oughta know
We belong together (We belong together)
Oh, you're still my man (My man)
				

[Intro]
Ooh, oh
Ooh, hey, baby
I'm living for you

[Verse 1]
Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be than with you
Loving you
Day will make the way for night
All we need is candlelight
And a song, soft and long

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, glad to be
Here alone with a lover unlike no other
Sad to see
A new horizon slowly coming into view

[Chorus]
I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
You, you, you

[Verse 2]
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me
My love and me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Smoother then a gentle breeze
Flowing from my mind with ease
Soft as can be
Well, when you're loving me, ooh, ooh, baby

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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]
I wanna be living for the love of you, baby, baby
All that I'm giving, giving is for the love of you
You, you, you

[Verse 3]
Paradise, I have within
Can't feel as secure again
You're the key
And this I see, yeah, ooh
Now and then I lose my way
Using words to try and say what I feel
Oh yeah, your love is real, ooh

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I might as well
Sign my name on a card that could say it better
See, time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do
Do, do
[Chorus]
I wanna be living for the love of you
(Living for you, only for you, boy)
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
(My love for you, baby)
I wanna be living for the love of you
(I, I, I, baby)
All that I'm giving, giving is for the love of you
(For the love of you, better believe it, boy)
I wanna be living for the love of you
(Of you, of you, of you, of you, wanna be giving, giving, giving)
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
(All my love to you, to you, you)
I wanna be living for the love of you
(I wanna be living, I wanna be living)
(Nobody else but you, boy)
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
(Each and every day)
				

[Verse 1]
I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind
You see, I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only things I learned
Is that I need you desperately

[Pre-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
Ooh, baby

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-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

[Bridge]
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]
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
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, for me
[Outro]
You still care for me
				

[Verse 1: Whitney Houston]
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

[Chorus: Whitney Houston & (Cissy Houston), Both]
Wasn't it good? (Wasn't it good?)
Wasn't it fine? (Wasn't it fine?)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine?
But in the end
He needs a little bit more than before
Security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well

[Verse 2: Cissy Houston & (Whitney Houston)]
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 (Looking back)
I could have played it differently (Differently)
Learned about the man before I fell
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know, I know him well

[Chorus: Cissy Houston & (Whitney Houston), Both]
Wasn't it good? (Oh, so good)
Wasn't it fine? (So fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine?

[Bridge: Cissy Houston & Whitney Houston]
Didn't I know how it would go
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

[Chorus: Cissy Houston & Whitney Houston, Both]
Wasn't it fine (Oh, 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)

[Outro: Cissy Houston & Whitney Houston]
It took some to understand him
Hoo-ooh
I know him so well
