Whitney Houston
Heartbreaker hotel
This is the heartbreak
hotel (8x)
You said you'd be here by nine
And said you took your time
You didn't think to call me boy
Here I sit trying not to cry
Asking myself why you do this to me
(Faith Evans):
Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
I'm writing you this letter, and this is what I have to say:
Chorus:
All I really wanted was some of your time
Instead you told me lies when someone else was on your mind
What you do to me
Look what you did to me
I thought that you were someone who would do me right
Until you played with my emotions and you made me cry
What you do to me
Can't take what you did to me
Now I see that you've been doing wrong
You played me all along
And made a fool of me, baby
You got it all wrong to think that I wouldn't find out
That you were cheating on me
How could you do it to me?
(Kelly Price):
Since you're not around for me to tell you baby face to face
I'm writing you this letter, and this is what I have to say:
Repeat Chorus
This is the heartbreak hotel (8x)
Repeat Chorus
I ain't goin' to take it no more (4x)
Everthing you just said was a lie
Don't lie to me
It's not right, but it's ok
Friday night you and
your boys went out to eat
Then they hung out, but you came home around three (yes, you did)
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:
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'm packin' your bags so you can leave town for a week (yes, I am)
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 the 54th Street
So why did 213 show up on your caller ID
I've been through all this before
So how could you think (don't think about it, don't think about it)
That I would stand around and take some more
Things are gonna change (things are going to change baby)
'Cause I won't be a fool anymore (don't stand, no chance boy)
That's why you have to leave (say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So don't you turn around to see my face (don't you turn around)
There's no more tears left here for you to see
Was it really worth you going out like that (tell me, oh)
See I'm moving on and I refuse to turn back (yeah)
See all of this time
I thought I had somebody down for Whitney
It turns out
You were making a fool of me, yeah
Repeat Chorus
My love is your love
If tomorrow is
judgement day (sing, mommy)
And I'm standin' on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you
If I wake up in World War Three
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I wanna go home
It's okay if you're coming with me
Chorus:
'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 (really no matter)
And I'm homeless on the street (oh, Lord)
And I'm sleepin' in Grand Central Station (okay)
It's okay if you're sleepin' with me
As the years they pass us by (years, the years)
We stay young through each other's eyes (each other's eyes)
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you babe
Repeat Chorus
If I should die this very day (very, very day)
Don't cry, cause on earth we wasn't meant to stay
And no matter what the people say (really no matter)
I'll be waiting for you after the judgement day
Repeat Chorus
When you believe
Many nights we pray
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
Chorus:
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
In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
Repeat Chorus
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near
Repeat Chorus (Choir)
Whitney: Miracles
Whitney: Oh, when you believe, oh
Mariah: Though hope's frail, it's hard
Whitney: Hard to kill, yeah
Mariah: Who knows what miracles you can achieve
Whitney: You can achieve
Mariah: When you believe
Whitney: Somehow, somehow, somehow
Both: Oh, no, no, no
Mariah: You will when you
Whitney: When you
Mariah: Believe
Whitney: Oh
Mariah: You will when you
Whitney: You will when you believe
Whitney: Just believe, you'd better believe it, just believe
Mariah: You will when you
Both: Believe
