Anita Baker

I thought I told you everything
You needed, needed to know
I thought I gave you everything
And then you, you decided to go
Oooh, you know I understand
Child I love you with an open hand
If you should ever need me
You know where I am

(Chorus:)
I've got room, plenty of room
Never lonely again
Just open my door, come on in
Cause I got room, plenty of room
You'll never be lonely again
Open my door, come on in
Cause I got room
Don't you know I love you child
Wherever, wherever you roam on your own
Lord knows it gets cold outside
And if you, you should want to come home
Come on home
You know I don't lie
Should the world outside make you wanna cry
Don't you be shy darling
Why don't you come on by
Cause I got room

(Chorus)
Oh right now would be a good time to find
That you have walked into my room
Any time is a good time, baby
It ain't never too late, baby, never too soon
Love, is all I wanna give
I wish I knew what you were gonna do
And ain't no one in the world, boy
But me and you, you know that its true
Sit down at my table
Til your spirit is fed
Lay your burdens by the fire
Rest your worries in my bed
I'll never leave you lonely, oh boy
Now don't you hear what I say
Lord, I got room

(Chorus)

Anita Baker is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter known for her distinct low contralto vocals. She started out in the band Chapter 8, which had the hit song “I Just Wanna Be Your Girl” that was later sampled by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for their hit song “1st of tha Month.” “Anita” went on to become a big name in ‘80s R&B alongside “Luther” and “Whitney” as she began to rack up #1 hits.

Her debut album, The Songstress, was released in 1983 on independent label Beverly Glen and featured the hit song “Angel.” She left Beverly Glen and signed with Elektra Records, releasing her second album Rapture in 1986, which went on to sell over 5 million albums and peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart thanks to the hits “Sweet Love,” “Same Ole Love,” and “Caught Up in the Rapture.”

Her third album, Giving You the Best That I Got, was released in 1988 and hit #1 on the Billboard 200, and the title track hit #1 on both the Billboard R&B and Adult Contemporary Singles charts. Rapture and Giving You the Best That I Got accounted for five of her eight Grammy Awards, with her sixth in that time frame coming from her gospel collaboration with The Winans on the song “Ain’t No Need To Worry” in 1988.
