My Heart Is Calling
Whitney Houston · The Preacher's Wife OST
Who would've thought of it
That I might feel like this
Some kind of wonderful
There's nothing quite comparable
The thing about it is
It's oh so innocent
I wasn't looking for
It came knockin' at my door
I'm trying to do things right
But I'm about to lose this fight
'Cause spending time with you
Well, it feels so good and that's the truth
And every day with you
I swear it brings me closer
to my only reservationis you
My sweet temptation, baby.
Oh, my heart is calling
I'm falling for you
Oh, my heart is calling
I'm falling for you
Who could imagine it
I found my happiness
In someone I barely know
And I like to take it slow
But you're so diferent, boy
You're breaking all my rules
What is it in your smile
that makes me feel the way I do
I'm trying to live my life
And I'm trying to live it right
If I desire you
It ain't because I'm trying to
Boy, everyday with you
I swear it brings me closer to
My only reservation is you,
My sweet temptation, baby
chorus
I've given it consideration (uh huh)
And it all adds up to you
I won't deny this heart is calling for you, baby
I've given it alot of thought (uh huh)
And it all ends up on you
My sweet temptation
God knows I'm falling for you
chorus
Is is in your smile, boy
Is it touch, baby
I don't know why [...]
That I might feel like this
Some kind of wonderful
There's nothing quite comparable

But I'm about to lose this fight
'Cause spending time with you
Well, it feels so good and that's the truth
And every day with you
I swear it brings me closer

My sweet temptation, baby.
Oh, my heart is calling
I'm falling for you
Oh, my heart is calling
I'm falling for you
Who could imagine it

But you're so diferent, boy
You're breaking all my rules
