[Intro]
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh

[Verse 1]
Came in the door, checked in my coat
And who I'm looking for is staring in my face, oh
They played our song, we hit the floor, he held me strong
And we danced the night away

[Pre-Chorus]
I can see the way that he's making me feel
This way about his love
I've been looking for something like this
I'm saying, "Oh, oh, oh, oh"

[Chorus]
If he make you feel like a million dollar bill
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "oh, oh, oh"
Makes you go left, right, up, down
Got you spinnin' 'round and round
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "aww, baby"

[Verse 2]
It's been a long long time
Since I felt that love has found my way, oh, oh, oh
I've been lookin' (Looking)
I've been searchin' (Searching)
For the man to touch this place
Oh, oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t deny the way that he's making feel
This way about his love
I've been searching for something like this
I'm saying, "Oh, oh, oh, oh"

[Chorus]
If he make you feel like a million dollar bill
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "oh, oh, oh"
Makes you go left, right, up, down
Got you spinnin' 'round and 'round
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "oh, oh, oh"
If he make you feel like a million dollar bill (If he makes you feel)
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "oh, oh, oh"
Makes you go left, right, up, down
Got you spinnin' 'round and 'round
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "aww, baby"

[Verse 3]
If you feel good
If you're feeling good
Put one hand in the air
Say, "yeah" (Yeah)
If you feel good
If you're feeling good
It's 'cause love is in the air
Love is in the air (Oh yeah)

[Chorus]
If he make you feel like a million dollar bill
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "oh, oh, oh"
Makes you go left, right, up, down
Got you spinnin' 'round and 'round
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "oh, oh, oh"
If he make you feel like a million dollar bill (If he makes you feel)
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, oh, oh, oh"
Makes you go left, right, up, down
Got you spinnin' 'round and 'round
Say, "oh, oh, oh", say, "aww, baby"

[Outro]
Ohh
Oh, if he makes you feel
Oh, if he makes you feel (yeah, yeah)
C'mon and say
C'mon and say
Ohh
Oh, if he makes you feel
Oh, if he makes you feel
Aww, baby

Known across the pop culture spectrum as the “Queen of Pop” and “The Voice” for her mezzo-soprano octave, Whitney Elizabeth Houston left an indelible impression upon pop culture. She is one of the most successful artists of all time, with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide.

Born August 9, 1963, Houston grew up singing as part of the gospel choir at her local church. She was surrounded by powerful voices in her own family (mother Cissy Houston, cousin Dionne Warwick, godmother Darlene Love, honorary aunt Aretha Franklin). After working as a model and commercial actress in the early 1980s, Whitney was discovered during a New York City nightclub performance, which led to her signing a contract with Clive Davis at Arista Records. Whitney’s first song was a duet in 1984 with Teddy Pendergrass on “Hold Me.”

She released her self-titled début album the following year, which catapulted her into superstardom as the album topped the Billboard 200 for 14 non-consecutive weeks before becoming the top-selling album of 1986, eventually achieving diamond status in the US and selling over 22 million copies worldwide. The singles “Saving All My Love For You,” “How Will I Know,” and “Greatest Love of All” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved platinum status. The music video for “How Will I Know” received heavy rotation on MTV, which was uncommon for Black women at the time. She took home the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy Award for “Saving” in 1986; her performance at the Grammys of “Saving” later won her an Emmy award. She also won seven American Music Awards between 1986 and 1987.
