All The Man That I Need
Whitney Houston · I Will Always Love You — The Best Of Whitney Houston [2012]
But that was all before he came
I thought love had to hurt, to turn out right
But now he's here
It's not the same, it's not the same
[chorus]
He fills me up
He gives me love
More love than I've ever seen
He's all I've got
He's all I've got in this world
But he's all the man that I need
And in the morning when I kiss his eyes
He takes me down
He rocks me slow
And in the evening when the moon is high
He holds me close
And won't let go, he won't let go
[chorus]
