[Verse 1]
I lost my heart
A long time ago
You made me feel
Like no one had before
Boy you made me love you
Then you walked out the door
See I will not rest
Until you say I am forever yours

[Chorus]
And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't give you up and
You've got to feel something I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Till you come back to me baby
Until you come back (to me)

[Verse 2]
Don't care how long
It's not important to me
Don't care how far
Love's never too far for me (no, it ain't)
I just might be crazy
When it comes to my heart
But I can not rest
Until the day we're no longer apart

[Chorus]
And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't give you up and
You've got to feel something I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Till you come back to me baby
Until you come back (to me)

[Verse 3]
Nobody plays with my heart
U can't walk away from it all
U can run but your heart cannot hide
Because it knows you belong in my life

[Outro]
And boy I won't stop at nothing
I won't give you up and
You've got to feel something I know
I will not love again
Until you come back
Come back to my arms
Until you come back to me baby
Until you come back (to me)

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.
