[Chorus]
I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Because I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Yeah

[Verse 1]
Don't make no difference if I'm wrong or I'm right
I've got the feeling and I'm willing tonight
Well I ain't nobody's angel
What can I say
Well I'm just that way
Hey, ey

[Chorus]
I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Because I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Just say it, say it, say it
Because I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Yeah

[Verse 2]
You've got a problem with the way that I am
They say I'm trouble and I don't give a damn
But when I'm bad, I know I'm better
I just want to get loose
And turn it up for you, baby

[Chorus]
I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Because I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Just say it, say it again
Because I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah (Oh yeah)

[Outro]
I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I've got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Cause I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh oh, say it again
Because I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah
Because I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Because I'm the queen of the night
The queen of the night
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah

Whitney Houston

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.
