Under your spell or under my own power
It really doesn't matter to me
See I fell in love, the first time I saw you
And have been falling in love ever since
It really doesn't matter to me
See I fell in love, the first time I saw you
And have been falling in love ever since
You heard my testimony, you've seen my evidence
Hey, it's a crime of passion, in every sense
And justice won't be served, till you stay here in my world
So take me, I'm your prisoner
Hey, it's a crime of passion, in every sense
And justice won't be served, till you stay here in my world
So take me, I'm your prisoner
6 years ago we lost THE VOICE. Whitney Houston. And we will never get her back. There will never be another Whitney. She had such soul and grace and power and truth in every word she said. It didn't matter if she was forlorn over a cheating mad, blushing over a new lover, dreaming of the one she had lost, or speaking to the one in her heart this very minute... you were there with her. You were rooting for her. We felt like we KNEW Whitney. She was our girl. Our bestie. Our mother, Auntie, church lady, and ride or die all rolled in one. Her smile could break your heart. Her shout could change your life. If you weren't moved by her Star Spangled Banner, you were already dead inside. If your toe is not tapping when Whitney begs the question on all of our minds- "How Will I Know"?- you probably are a robot.
In this track that I have chosen, "Lover for Life", Whitney is at a very vulnerable spot. she interestingly doesnt ask just to be together forever, but to be LOVERS for life. The difference between a wife or a girlfriend and your LOVER in indescribable. It's about intensity. the obession of each other. The infatuation. when your hands never stop aching to touch one another. When every thought is underlined by that person. Hoping and praying that they feel the same fire. Enjoying the way it burns you up fromt he inside.
I hear this song, and I pray that the man I love stays my lover for life. That we can always find a way back to the feeling that drew us together with such violent magnetism. Even beyond the emotions, there is an undeniable sexiness in this song.
