Whitney Houston - I Look to You Album Lyrics

They played our song
We hit the floor
He held me strong
And we danced the night away

I can see the way that he is making feel
This way about his love
I've been looking for something like this
I'm saying ooh oh oh oh ooh oh oh!

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
If you go left right up down
Make you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

It's been a long long time
Since I fell, fell
Love has found my way oh oh oh
I've been looking (looking)
I've been searching (searching)
For the man to touch this place, oh ooh oh yeah

Can't deny the way that he is making feel
This way about his love
I'v been searching for something like this
I'm saying oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

If you feel good
If you're feeling good
Put one hand in the air, say yeah
If you feel good
If you're feeling good
It's cause love is in the air
Love is in the air

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh!
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh!

For my family that raised me (shout out, shout out)
And my teacher that done praised me (shout out, shout out)
To anyone who tried to hate on me (shout out, shout out)
Even the one's who tried to break me, even the one's who tried to take me down

There've been haters since this world been going 'round
(nothin' but love, nothin' but love)
Why they take a thing and trying to crush them down
(nothin' but love, nothin' but love)
I ain't even trying to hold on to that now
(nothin' but love, nothin' but love)
Ain't got nothin' but love for you
(nothin' but love, nothin' but love)

I could hold on to pain but that ain't what my life's about
I ain't blaming nobody if I ain't got my stuff worked out
I got love for my self, ain't gonna regret anything I've done
I just wanna sing my song, ain't got nothin' but love

For all the players on the street (shout out, shout out)
To all my doing their own thing (keep on, keep strong)
To all my exes that done wrong me, stepped on me, can't hold me down

To all the givers and the takers
To my crew from way back when
To the cold wars and the stares
And the ones that I ain't met
For my self for sticking with me
For the one's I miss from up above
Anyone who's ever been a part of me
Ain't got nothin' but love

In this place at this time
I feel sane when I look in your eyes
Feel like I know you from another life
It makes me wish I wasn't so pressed for time

I can't catch my breath 'cause you take it away
That's right, everytime could not find words to stay
Now there's so many things I wanna get to know
I wish that I could stay but I got to go

I'm gonna call you tonight
I will baby, just as soon as I get time alone
I'm gonna call you tonight, I will baby
Just as soon as I get home

That's the way it goes in life
You get busy when you just don't wanna
There's never enough time in your life
You have to make it baby, so I'm gonna

Make a way to connect
'Cause your face is what I can't forget
I feel like I know you from another life
It just makes me wish I wasn't so pressed for time

Destiny, I believe in it
Meant to be, don't you see it's possible
That for this kind of magic you think I'm having
And if you wanna know then you stay by the phone

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I'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 be strong
I look to you
I look to you

Yeah

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song
I look to you

After losing my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Lead to my regret
And I don't know if Im gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
I look to you
I look to you

Yeah

And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you

Oh yeah

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song
I look to you

(My levee's have broken, my walls have come)
Coming down on me
(Crumbling down on me)
All the rain is falling
(the rain is falling, defeat is calling)
Set me free
(I need you to set me free)

Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me
I look to you
I look to you

After all my strength has gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you

And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song
I look to you

Yeah

I look to you
Oooooooh
I look to you

[Verse 1 - Whitney:]
Did you ever wish you could take back something that you did in your past
If it wasn't for me I know what we had was definitely gonna last
I admit that we say some things we don't mean when we're mad
But I realized that I've been foolish, I never should have turned my back

[Hook 1 - Whitney:]
Cuz it's a cold world when you're out there all alone
So many times that I wanted to just pick up the phone
And tell you ooh baby, baby I missed your lovin' so
I ain't holding back no more, your girl is coming home

[Chorus (Whitney):]
(And I want you to love me) Like I never left
(And I want you to hold me) Like I never left
(And I want you to touch me) Like I never left
(Come give me what I'm missing, yeah) Like I never left, yeah

[Verse 2 -Akon:]
Do you think we can pick up where we left before the day
That I told you it was over, packed my things and moved away
Cuz I see that without you my world is just an empty place
Taking one step away from you feels like a million miles away

[Hook 2 - Akon:]
Cuz it's a cold world when you're out there all alone
So many times I just wanted to pick up the phone
And tell you ooh baby, baby I missed your lovin' so
But I ain't holding back no more, cuz your man is coming home, yeah

[Chorus (Whitney):]
(And I want you to love me, yeah) Like I never left
(And I want you to hold me) Like I never left
(And I want you to touch me baby) Like I never left
(Come give me what I'm missing, ohhh) Like I never left, yeah

[Bridge (Whitney):]
[Whitney:]
I had enough, I miss you bad
What I did, leave in the past
Yes, your girl is coming back
Like I never left (Ohhh)
[Akon:]
Said back in the building, back on the block
You and me together, we back on top
Kind of love we got, it just don't stop
Like I never left
[Whitney:]
I had enough, I miss you bad (I'm missing you bad)
What I did, leave in the past (Yeah)
Yes, your girl is coming back
Like I never left (I'm coming back home boy)
[Akon:]
Said back in the building, back on the block (I'm coming back home boy)
You and me together, we back on top (Yeah, yeah, oh)
Kind of love we got, it just don't stop
Like I never left

[Chorus (Whitney):]
(And I want you to touch me) Like I never left
(And I want you to hold me) Like I never left
(And I want you to love me baby) Like I never left
(Come give me what I'm missing, yeah) Like I never left, yeah

[Vamp - Whitney:]
Oh baby, come love me, come hold me, come touch me, come give me
Like I never left you (I never left you baby)
Oh baby, come love me, come hold me, come touch me, come give me
Like I never left you (I never left you baby)

I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

Found hope in my heart,
I found the light to life
My way out of the dark
Found all that I need
Here inside of me
I thought I'd never find my way
I thought I'd never lift that weight
I thought I would break

I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

There were so many times I
Wondered how I'd get through the night I
Thought took all I could take

I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

This is for the lovers just getting on their feet
This is for the lovers 'bout twenty years deep
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you, it's for you
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you

It's a beautiful thing
When it's shared between two
The most beautiful thing about it
That it's so much more than you

There ain't nothing in the world like being with your lover
Nothing in the world like seeing one another
Happy with the one you need the most, yeah

I know somebody's gonna make love
To this song tonight, tonight, tonight
I know somebody's out of town
And they're calling home tonight
Let me tell you what they're saying right now
They're saying

It ain't hard to tell when it's something real
You can have the world, all you want is them
Even when you're in a crowd
And you're spotted from a mile and
That's when you know love is worth it

When it's going wrong, you never give up
When you're on the phone, you never hang up
Even when you're feeling down
They can always make you smile and
That's when you know love is worth it

This is for the lovers holding hands in the car
This is for the lovers, no matter where you are
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you, it's for you
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you
This is for you, baby

Some people feel it, they let it show
Some people miss it, they let it go
Some people doubt it, I'm a tell you now
They don't know a thing about it
That's why they doubt it

Some people give it, some people take it
Some people try to but they can't fake it
That's why when it's official
You just can't walk away
And you can trust me when I say

I know somebody's gonna make love
To this song tonight, tonight, tonight
I know somebody's out of town
And they're calling home tonight
Let me tell you what they're saying right now
They're saying

It ain't hard to tell when it's something real
You can have the world, all you want is them
Even when you're in a crowd
And you're spotted from a mile and
That's when you know love is worth it

When it's going wrong, you never give up
When you're on the phone, you never hang up
Even when you're feeling down
They can make you smile and
That's when you know love is worth it

This is for the lovers holding hands in the car
This is for the lovers, no matter where you are
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you, it's for you
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you, oh baby

This is for the lovers just getting on their feet
This is for the lovers 'bout twenty years deep
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you, it's for you
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you, for you, baby

It ain't hard to tell, when it's something real
You can have the world, all you want is them
Even in a crowd
That's when you know love is worth it

When it's going wrong, you never give up
When you're on the phone, you never hang up
Even when you're feeling down
They can always make you smile and
That's when you know love is worth it

This is for the lovers holding hands in the car
This is for the lovers, no matter where you are
This is for you, it's for you, it's for you, it's for you
It's for you, it's for you

It's been a long crazy week, all I want is a little time
Rest my hands, cross my feet, let it go tonight
Leave the stress at home, tell the driver go
You ain't gonna kill my vibe, oh no

I look at you, you look at me, you are ready now
What I want, what I need is you and me on the floor
I can feel your love when our bodies touch
If anyone is feeling like me tonight

Now throw your hands up for the next three minutes it's about the lovers
(you know it, you know it)
Baby stand up if you're single but you're looking for another
(you know it, you know it)
Ladies tell your men you love them (yeah...)
Fellows tell your girl you love her (yeah...)
So throw your hands up for the next three minutes it's about the lovers

Thinking about the ones that are looking down on you and me
Lovers in together now, now I'm completely free
Life is way too short, you might as well get yours
Lord knows I'm doing it

If your lover ain't around
That don't mean you can't get down
(you know it, you know it)
And if you came her all alone
Find someone and hold them close
(you know it, you know it)

So throw your hands up
Baby let me see you stand up
And if you're single it don't matter
'cause this song is for everyone who believes in love

So I won't cry 'cause you're going away
'?cause the chemistry we've got it, don't fade
I won't be wishing for better days
'cause deep inside I know our love stays the same

You gotta know
No matter where you are (you got me)
Baby near or far (you got me)
Our love will never fade (you got me)
So let me hear you say it
Baby I got you, I'll be there, I'll be there
Baby I got you, I'll be there, I'll be there
'cause I got you baby

I never lie
'cause you are the reason that my heart is beating, that I am alive
Before you go, thinking that I can be replaced, no
I got you waiting for the rest of my life

I'll hold you up, when you just can't stand
I'll make you cry, when you think that you can't
By my side forever, baby that's the plan
I'll be your everything, I'll be your everything

Say you want me, I want you baby
Say you love me, I need you baby
I got you baby, you got me
I'll be there for you
I love you baby, I love you darling

Say you wanna run away
You ain't got nothing to say
But I salute you
Go on out the door,
Now, you take care
No more tears to shed
What, you expecting me to beg,
Girl I'm not undone
So when you leave just close the door behind you,

Cause, I'm feeling kind of hotter than you, mainly
I'm feeling kind of stronger than you, lately
I'm feeling kind of better than you,
And I know just what to do, yeah
I feel like doing my head
I feel like all there's some of my friends
I feel like going to a club and partying

Cause I'm a soldier girl, in this world
Stand alone, candle strong
I walked a mile, and made home
It's good to know without you I made it
Soldier girl, in my world
Took the fall now I stand tall
All the pain and all, I made it through
And now I'm a vowel to say to you
Salute, ay, ay
Salute, ay, ay

You think you know everything,
See you think that your sh don't stink,
Well it do, yeah
And when it comes to me,
You don't have a clue
It took me all of these years,
To realise that you gonna be long here
I can do better,
You say I'll never do better
Yeah, like whatever

I'm feeling kind of hotter than you, mainly
I'm feeling kind of stronger than you, lately
I'm feeling kind of better than you,
And I know just what to do
I feel like doing my head
I feel like all there's some of my friends
I feel like going to a club and partying

I'm a soldier girl, in this world
Stand alone, candle strong
I walked a mile, and made home
It's good to know without you I made it
Soldier, girl, in my world
Took the fall now I stand tall
All the pain and all, I made it through
And now I'm a vowel to say to you
Salute, ay, ay
Salute, ay, ay

So don't call me to come back
I did it for years, yeah
Through all of the drama and the pain
And all of the tears
It's time to stop this rollercoaster,
So that I can get on
Let me start moving mountains, swimming seas,
And climbing over walls

I'm a soldier girl, in this world
Stand alone, candle strong
I walked a mile, and made home
It's good to know without you I made it
Soldier, girl, in my world
Took the fall now I stand tall
All the pain and all, I made it through
And now I'm a vowel to say to you
Salute, ay, ay
Salute, ay, ay
