[Verse 1]
I can't get you off my mind
No matter what I do
I'm wishing you were here, with me
It makes no difference
I only think of you
And I'm living out my fantasy

[Chorus]
Late at night, I run to you
Being such a love sick fool
It might be pouring rain
But still the same, nothings changed
All and all, I feel no shame
I'm just your fool the same
(I'm just your fool)
(I keep thinking about you baby)
So tell me what you're gonna do
(I keep thinking about you)
All I wanna do is
(Like a river of wine, intoxicate my mind
I'm thinking about you)
That's what I wanna do
(Pick me up, let's go down
I'm thinking about it too)
(I'm thinking about you)
You got me thinking about you
(I'm thinking about it too)

[Verse 2]
Maybe weeping is a game
That's hard for me to face
(But you need me)
Just like I need you
There's no reason
Just my heart that makes me feel this way
And I hope you feel the same way too

[Chorus]
Late at night, I run to you
Being such a love sick fool
It might be pouring rain
But still the same, nothings changed
All and all, I feel no shame
I'm just your fool the same
(I'm just your fool)
(I keep thinking about you baby)
So tell me what you're gonna do
(I keep thinking about you)
All I wanna do is
(Like a river of wine, intoxicate my mind
I'm thinking about you)
That's what I wanna do
(Pick me up, let's go down
I'm thinking about it too)
(I'm thinking about you)
You got me thinking about you
(I'm thinking about it too)

[Verse 3]
It might be pouring rain
But like a fool, insane
I run to you
I'm just a love sick fool
I've got this thing for you (I'm just a love-sick fool)

[Chorus]
Late at night, I run to you
Being such a love sick fool
It might be pouring rain
But still the same, nothings changed
All and all, I feel no shame
I'm just your fool the same
(I'm just your fool)
(I keep thinking about you baby)
So tell me what you're gonna do
(I keep thinking about you)
All I wanna do is
(Like a river of wine, intoxicate my mind
I'm thinking about you)
That's what I wanna do
(Pick me up, let's go down
I'm thinking about it too)
(I'm thinking about you)
You got me thinking about you
(I'm thinking about it too)

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.
