Vanessa Williams - The Right Stuff Lyrics






I was standing at 7:15 waiting for my baby's car
Just then out stepped the driver of a limousine
And asked if I was going far
I said I've got my mind made up
I don't wanna leave him baby cause it's clear to me
That it's just to tough to find another lover like mine

With the right stuff
The right stuff baby
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Ooh no with mr. right

Just friday 'bout a week ago
This fellow called me on the phone
And said 'i live in paris, don't you want to go
I know you must be all alone'

Well, it'll take more than a fancy trip
Or a chauffeured limousine
Cause I ain't never seen no one

Who could give me love like this
The other fellows don't compare

To the right stuff
The right stuff baby
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Ooh no with mr. right
Sing

He's the only to give me that lovin'
Cause next to him there is no other one
He's very sexy and oh so sweet
And he knocks me off my feet
Say it

I need the right stuff
I got to have the right stuff
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff

    A BLACK WOMAN'S STRENGTH IS INDESTRUCTIBLE.

  10. A.... T....

    When I first saw Vanessa Williams she was the queen of trash from Elmo in Grouchland.

  11. T.... P....

    This is blowing my mind. I've only ever seen Vanessa Williams do ballads. I can't process it. What's next, is Janet Jackson gonna make a rock song? C'mon!!

    T.... P....

    Black Cat by Janet Jackson

    T.... P....

    4:02-4:08!! I was 10 years old & of course, had absolutely NO idea what the "right stuff" was! All my innocent little mind knew was that, like Ms. Williams, I didn't wanna miss out on it!😂🤣 This video was one among MANY that was worthy of sneaking to watch. Back then this was considered risque! Times have certainly changed...

  16. D.... ....

  26. A.... A....

    Shit, I'd wear them green leggings today pair them up with a nice oversized shirt/sweater

  27. D.... ....

    This brings back so many memories, from my 5th grade school year.

  28. i.... ....

    “Do you really like this guy “ sounds like the voice from Janet Jackson’s song what have you done for me lately

  29. B.... H....

    During the 1st chorus, u notice the ponytail dude. That's the tango douchebag from DANCE WITH ME. Right?

  30. -.... A....

    That back step @4:15 is serious.

  31. R.... F....

    This ol jam here blows away the crap they call music.

  32. F.... L....

    Alright MS Williams is giving nothing less than FULL REALNESS IN this video! I can remember when this track hit the queer club scene. You couldn't pull my friends and I off the dance floor!

  33. l.... v....

    👌👌👌😊

  34. T.... C....

    1988...this girl was the HOTTEST

  35. P.... L....

    voulez vouz venir? what's that mean? sounds seeeexy

  36. J.... i....

    Rick Fox was 10x’s hotter & straighter 😊 than ANY guy in this video.

  37. y.... ....

    This was my favorite song back in the day - - But OMG - - this is Cringy as Fudge ! LOL What IS This?
    Are you sure this isn't the In Living Color version? SMH !!

    y.... ....

    You ain't lying lmao. It's Janet Jackson x Paula Abdul and she is not the dance caliber of either. And it's also the 90s so everything just looks cheesy compared to now lol. She did her best tho! I still love her and she looked good as hell

    y.... ....

    @dont worry Yeah, it was still kinda cute.

    y.... ....

    @you2099 that's fucked up tho, u said the In Living Color version lmao. I remember how they used to make the spoof music videos 😂😂😂 u wild for that!!!

  38. C.... C....

    1:04 for those who are wondering what building that is in this video, it’s Pasadena city hall at 100 N. Garfield Avenue, zip code 91109 (also 91101). Google it and choose street level view.

  41. c.... ....

    1:29
    Still the most beautiful layering I've ever heard in a pop vocal.

  42. K.... C....

    The voice, the face, the body, the attitude and talent. Another level and lane

  43. J.... S....

    Cringe @

  44. C.... K....

    Back when music video told the story of the song lol

  45. K.... E....

    This was dope I was born in 1987 meaning when this came out I was a baby I see the old school fresh hip hop 80s beat in this track but she had other hip hop kinda tracks later comfort zone was another one I liked that one as well she could really sing she brought life too all her music she definitely is one of the best of her era /generation much respect 2 vanessa Williams god bless sister

  68. C.... T....

    "Pretty Girl Swag" all day!!!! This is all 80's, and 90's Tea...................No one but "V" was doing the 'Roger Rabbit' and 'Hammer' in 'Kitten Heels' and beat for Da' Gods!!!!!

  69. g.... ....

    Thank god for the internet. I was just watching an old news clip from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. A small clip of this song was playing in the background while Germans danced to it.

  70. s.... b....

    Jeffrey Daniels ( Shalimar) Choregraph this number for what I remember and he also did the moves for Michael Jackson (Bad Video), he was featured in both videos. 1963 RULES!

  71. m.... ....

    Wow! I never really saw the resemblance between her and Jillian but in the scene when she’s in the bathroom on the phone I see it so much!

  72. C.... Z....

    Hot in 2019

  73. d.... ....

    Janet Jackson "Control" dance vibes all up in this video! How much you want to bet that Paula Abdul did the Choreography for this video!!? LOL. She was all over videos of the 80's and 90's.....and you can tell by the dance style in this video and all the other ones she did for likes of Jody Whatley, Karen White, Angela Winbush and Janet Jackson! 80's Baby here and wish those days of good music were back!!

  74. a.... ....

    I have this record on LP.

  75. l.... ....

    still hot at 55!!

  76. D.... N....

    Paula's finger print on the choreography. I look at this now, and it seems cheesy and corny.

  77. S.... L....

    Is Rupaul doing the „Na na na“ part?? It sounds so much like him

  78. H.... O....

    Where are all those other Miss America Pagent winners? Scandal did nothing but make her greater.

  79. M.... B....

    My shit still 2018!!!!!!!!!!

  80. R.... W....

    This samples “what have you done for
    Me lately” by janet Jackson

  81. P.... Z....

    I was just watching a report on the tearing down of the Berlin Wall and this song played in the background while both East and West Berliners danced with joy in the streets. A beautiful moment.

  82. M.... J....

    So Beautiful, great voice! Always been a fan of Ms. Williams.

  83. E.... M....

    Vanessa Williams should have her own Las Vegas Residency called "The Comfort Zone" I would pay to go see this Queen of Pop/R&B/Ballads perform amazing dancing and with amazing vocals.

  84. A.... S....
