Houston, Whitney - Take Good Care Of My Heart Lyrics






Time can pass so slowly when you feel so all alone
Love can strike like lightning when you find your heart a home
I've seen it in the movies, read about it in a book
I never thought I would feel it, but your touch was all it took

Take good care of my heart, take good care of my heart
Baby, you're the first to take it - you're the only one who can break it
I love you more than I should, but it keeps me feeling so good
I've waited for your love forever - you're the one to take good care of my heart

Come and make your magic 'til you have me hypnotized
If we get any closer, I'll be drowning in your eyes
You're the one I needed most, when my love was on the line
I'm so glad you gave me yours, when I gave you mine

So take good care of my heart, take good care of my heart
Baby, you're the first to take it - you're the only one who can break it
I love you more than I should, but it keeps me feeling so good
I've waited for your love forever - you're the one to take good care of my heart

I love you more than I should, but it keeps me feeling so good
I've waited for your love forever - you're the one to take good care of my heart

Take good care of my heart, take good care of my heart (take good care of me)
Baby, you're the first to take it - you're the only one who can break it
I love you more than I should, but it keeps me feeling so good
I've waited for your love forever - you're the one to take good care of my heart

(Take good care of my heart, take good care of my heart) won't you please?
Baby, you're the first to take it, and you're the only one who can break it
I love you more than I should

    Take good care of my heart 2019

  18. D.... B....

    This was a great debut album through in through. An innocent and melancholy album that is seldom heard on am album in 2019. Where to begin: "You Give Good Love" was about the hope of finding a true love. You could feel the pain of "Saving" where the married man slips away from her and breaks her heart when he fails to promise to be free for her as well as take good care. "All at once" was just beautiful. "Greatest Love of all" about self acceptance and even the high spirits "How Will I know" is a cute innocent number about a shy girl hoping her crush gels the same. 1985. Times were different. No female artist today of the age of 21 which is how old WH was when she put out this masterpiece can put together something so beautiful. She had the grace class and self poise that I don't know if it when will be found in another female artist again. We as the world really ought be ashamed of ourselves with where we're at today thinking it should be allowed and acceptable to live and treat others as w e do. It is never ok to hurt rumor disrespect or put down another human being no matter who or what the excuse is...I really think the hate and jealousy of those around Whitney is what slowly led to her demise.

    "Take Good Care Of My Heart"

    Time can pass so slowly, when you feel so all alone 
    Love can strike like lightning, when you find your heart a home 
    I've seen it in the movies, read about it in a book 
    I've never feel it, but your touch was all it took 

    [Chorus:]
    Take good care of my heart 
    Take good care of my heart 
    Baby you're the first to take it 
    You're the only one who can break it 
    I love you more than I should 
    But it keeps me feeling so good 
    I've waited for your love for ever 
    You're the one to take good care of my heart 

    Come and make you're magic, til you have me hypnotised 
    If we get any closer, I'll be drowning in your eyes 
    You're the one I needed most, when my love was on the line 
    I'm so glad you gave me yours, when I gave you mine 

    [Chorus]

  68. E.... ....

    très belle chanson de Jermaine et Whitney <3 love you Jermaine

  69. p.... k....

    ロンリーチャップリン?

    p.... k....

    @pearl kun そう。言わずと知れた、ロンリーチャップリンの原曲ですよ。 そっくりです。

    p.... k....

    ロンリーチャップリンよりも
    こっちの方が好きだし
    夜明けのスターライト(鈴木清美&雅之)のほうがだんぜん好き。

  70. A.... P....

    Come and make your magic
    Till you have me hypnotised
    If we get any closer
    I'll be drowning in your eyes

    💙💙 RIP Whitney 💙💙

    A.... P....

    That verse just makes me melt every time! 😘

    A.... P....

    @TOBY ALEXANDER Me too! My favorite part. Happy Holidays to you!

    A.... P....

    +TOBY ALEXANDER yes yes

  71. E.... A....

    Super musique

  72. l.... a....

    Onde está o album completo?

  73. j.... g....

    OH WHITNEY,FORGOT JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL THAT VOICE WAS,R.I.P. JOHN.

  74. W.... ....

    Beautiful song,but why did they pair her w/ Jermaine & not Micheal?? I always wondered that.

    W.... ....

    @Nickleby2 Wow! I never knew that- very interesting!

    W.... ....

    Pfft Jermaine didn't discover her! This is simply just a duet. She was already publicized having Aretha Franklin as a god mother, mom Cissy as a legendary gospel singer, and Americas #1 vocalist at that time Dionne Warwick as her cousin.

    W.... ....

    @Ken Aretha Franklin was never Whitney's godmother. Cissy Houston said so in her own words on tape and in her Book,'Remembering Whitney'. Whitney was singing as backup with her mother but she was never officially given a contract. Jermaine was signed up with Clive Davis to record albums and to be a producer. Jermaine heard a tape of Whitney singing in a bar and told Clive he would like to use her on his album. Those songs with Jermaine was Whitney's first official recordings, then Jermaine introduced her to the public arena! Jermaine did at least 6 Duets with Whitney! Whitney also did backup on sone of Jermaine's songs.

    W.... ....

    Just enjoy the damn song

    W.... ....

    Not sure Michaels voice would have blended in as well as Jermaines.. Michaels voice may have too soft. Glad Jermaine did this with Whitney ..

  75. P.... C....

    Linda canção,marcou uma fase de descobertas em minha vida,inesquecível!!!!

  76. G.... F....

    One of my favorite.

  77. N.... R....

    As a cover artist I sang this song back in the days ...still 'makes me feeling so good.'...Rest in Peace Whitney!

  78. J.... C....

    I remember the first time I heard this song it was played right after one she did with Teddy Pendegrass. I was like WHO IS THAT? Such a beautiful voice back in the early eighties. Beautiful angel RIP>

    J.... C....

    I was so glad a classmate in college turned me on to Teddy.

    J.... C....

    Yes. lAst song of Side 1.

  79. F.... ....

    I hadn't listened to this song since maybe...1987?  When I heard it the other day, the lyrics struck like lightening, much like love struck me a few months ago.  At 45, I found the most improbable love in the most unlikely of places. No man has ever captured my heart like this before, now I just hope that he will take good care of my tender, middle-aged heart. So many years later, thanks for this beautiful love song Whitney & Jermaine!!!

    F.... ....

    FuzzeeKittee God Bless you, I pray you still have good love.

    F.... ....

    You will find someone who will take good care of your heart. I love this song.

    F.... ....

    I hope your relationship is still strong.

    F.... ....

    FuzzeeKittee is it really fuzzee im curious

    F.... ....

    I don't know if my time will come. I give and give until it hurts and I'm not happy and I'm still flying solo at 40. I don't know what I have to give or prove that my love could be very good for someone. I know I have a lot to offer but they don't and it makes it even worse for me. And I just can't rely on my family when I want company or just someone to relax with. Family is supposed to love you. I want someone to love me because they want to. Nothing forced. I could write the book on loneliness...I've experienced many a night for years whenever I'm not settling for whoever does come along my way here and there. What good is success and good health if you can't share it with anyone. Love is all that ever mattered to me and if I can't have love then I really don't want anything at all. I never ask.

  80. M.... R....

    I've always the young Whitney Houston of the 1980s, because she looked so damn fucking beautiful back then and she seemed so innocent. There was no possible way back then that she could do any wrong, and she truly was America's Sweetheart, and to me, she will always will be America's Sweetheart and will truly always be loved for all time!

  81. M.... S....

    One of my first favvo songs of her first album.
    Makes me feel so warm and takes me back 2 my youth.

  82. I.... L....

    I loved Whitney till she hooked up with that Floppy Brown. I just cannot stand him and yes, Whitney was a grown up woman who could have just said no. She would have been better off with someone like Kevin Costner, who would have most likely treated her like the lady that she could have been. Well.......and he is HOTT!

  83. J.... Z....

    10 out of 10

  84. P.... A....

    What a low thing to say about someone that conquered through her illnesses and despite all that had so much passion for life and music! Respect to Whitney Houston! <3

  85. s.... a....

    who thinks she killed herself ?

  86. A.... F....

    Whitney didn't kill herself she drowned in that bathtub in LA hotel room so get your fucking facts right before spouting shit like that

  87. s.... a....

    'shock me ' was awesome too.

  88. o.... ....

    You're simply an imbecile.You're untalented,you don't exist.Surely you're a loser,sore and envious.You envy this woman's big talent.Why do you opine if nobody is interested about it?YOU ARE FILTH.

  89. M.... ....

    I JUST LOVE THIS SONG....LOVE WHITNEY...,AND GERMAIN.
    SONG OF SONGS.THIS IS THE KIND OF RYTHM THAT TAKES ME OUT OF THIS PLANET,OUT OF THIS UNIVERSE,(TO THE ONE OF MY BABY,MY LOVELY PATRICIA MORALES,I DEDICATE THIS SONG(AMONG OTHERS,OF COURSE,TO YOU,FROM DEEP MY HEART...)
    AND THE SLOWER SONGS AS WELL,I JUST LOVE THEM."ROMANTIC OF ROMANTICS MAN",YEAHHH!!!!!!

  90. a.... n....

    I love the songs in the years 80

  91. T.... ....

    Yes! Some people actually love SOUL music and don't need pop music as much as the Grammys preach! I love this song. It was on Jermaine's album!

  92. A.... M....

    Withney's music made us feel good to be in love!

  93. F.... W....

    LOVE LOVE MISS MISS U WHITNEY MY SONG BACK N THE DAY STILL MUSIC 2 MY EARS N 2013 R.I.P

  94. B.... ....

    Well than ur in luck because she never asked for pity from u or anyone else. "undertalented"? by whom standards? :LOL ur a joke

  95. P.... ....

    Undertalented? I think that part of the tragedy of Whitney was overly commercialised pop output for much of her career. She was so much bigger than many of the songs that she sang. Somewhere along the line she got bored of being a pop superstar, and lost sight of her musical heritage. The drugs started and never ended because of the people she had in her life - her family and BB. Whitney always seemed to have low self-esteem and was unable to take full control of her career and life.
