Whitney Houston - Love Is A Contact Sport Lyrics






You've been avoiding me
Like a cat tryin' to dodge a dog
I never see ya shine
You're as cold as the London fog
You claim you want my love
Well I wouldn't know by the way you behave
If you want to feel the thrill of my touch
You better come outa' yo' cave

It's so perplexing
Why you fight it, won't you try it
Love's electric
Turn me on and see

[Chorus:]
Love is a contact sport
You gotta move in tight
If you wanna do it right, here I am
Love is a contact sport
You gotta act untamed
If you wanna play the game
So grab my hand and.... slam!...

I hate to sound aggressive
But I'm tired of waitin' for your move
Cut the formalities
'Cause you've got a few things to prove
If you really want my love
I need to feel it down deep from within
Don't make me wait to long
I'm ready now, come and stroke my skin

Well all this talkin'
Worthless chatter, just don't matter
Time for stalkin'
Come get next to me

[Chorus]

  23. H.... E....

    God bless u all. Rip Whitney

  24. G.... 8....

    Jimmy jam Terry Lewis

  25. T.... ....

    This song would've hit #1 on the RNB charts for 4 weeks.

  26. T.... R....

    A big-sounding, bold, sexy number that, in terms of production, is the album’s centerpiece, and it has great lyrics along with a good beat. It’s one of my favorites.

  27. H.... H....

    THAT MF VOIIIICEEEE!!! 
    Jesus Christ..swear this woman could take your spirit to the heavens with that voice. Cheesy, 2-star 80's Pop fluff filler...in the hands of Whitney Houston, one of my favorite pop gems of the 80's. Goddess of voices..

  28. J.... D....

    Wow....I totally forgot about this song.

  29. G.... O....

    Epic tune

  30. S.... D....

    Tell the to stop hanging from our jock yo

  31. S.... D....

    she's like a 20 wrapped around a roll of 100's

  32. S.... D....

    this is my montage song.

  33. S.... D....

    it tickles my bee side whatever that is

  34. j.... j....

    i never appreciate this song wayback on 80s

    but now i understood haha this song if you add some new modern sounds instruments it could be like beyonce songs

    now i love this song

  35. P.... n....

    Again the diva gone too soon what a voice

  36. P.... n....

    Angelic voice we danced to this songs there was a group of girls calling themselves madonna girls they danced for this song in entertainment competitions

  37. w.... ....

    2017 and it is yes my favourite Whitney album.

  38. T.... P....

    Qu est ce que j'ai écouté ce chanson pendant que je faisait de auto stop c était super l 'évasion total quand j y pense merci witney 😚😙😙😙😙😙😙

  39. C.... ....

    Love this song

  40. D.... G....

    happy birthday Miss Whitney Houston

  41. C.... J....

    This sounds GREAT!!! Something like Diana Ross would do...alright..We'll she wanted to copy her anyway right. I LIKE IT...sound like a movie score somewhat

  42. H.... ....

    I reckon the one artist who would have done this justice would have been Lisa "Raccoon" Lougheed. It has the same tempo that wouldn't have been out of place on that show's soundtrack.

    But this is definitely one of Whitney's more underrated jams.

    Bet your average School disco must have had this in their rotation back then.

  43. L.... ....

    This is one of my favorite songs on this album!

  44. G.... A....

    I'm happy to have been born the year the greatest album of life was released.

    G.... A....

    oh wow you posted this a day after my birthday i was born in 1990!!!

  45. L.... S....

  49. b.... ....

    I want to hate this song so much. Cheesy to the 100th power. But her vocals are so kick ass I can't hate it.

    b.... ....

    Christopher Jones are you that mad homegirl?

    b.... ....

    btchnotme 😂😂😂

    b.... ....

    +phreek hood lol

    b.... ....

    Her vocals just elevate and fire the tune into outer space

    b.... ....

    Would suck with anyone else lol However Whitney makes anything great

  50. J.... G....

    the best ever

  51. g.... ....

    She had it ALL and now......

    g.... ....

    she shared her talent with the world, and became the biggest star in the world. All stars fall, her end was tragic but she will always be remembered as the best voice of all time.

    g.... ....

    Same story we will ALL have! No matter what you have or anyone else we ALL will be dead one day!

  52. A.... F....

    My favourite songs from second album and should have been a single.so unlike Whitney Houston material.

    A.... F....

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that!

    A.... F....

    Alan Fox And me xxx

  53. R.... R....

    Why is it that these drop-dead gorgeous, talented beyond belief women always go after/end up with guys like Bobby Brown?

    F-ing evolution...

    R.... R....

    Did not realize that, thanks for that insight.

    R.... R....

    Ok but just remember she was doing the hard stuff not him. Just remember that. HE DID NOT INTRODUCE drugs to her. She showed him a thing or to thanks to her brother. Now as for his other faults. Oh well. Opposites attack I guess.

    R.... R....

    Robyn Crawford would/could have been her salvation.

    R.... R....

    Her brother got her on drugs. She was a drug addict before Bobby.

    R.... R....

    She was good even at the end.

  54. C.... T....

    whitney best song ...

  55. K.... H....

    The best ever song whitney sang

  56. c.... ....

    It certainly was when she was married to Bobby.

  57. G.... V....

    One of the greatest voices ever. EVER!

  58. c.... c....

    She was a beautiful lady, music she sang was like silk. To many fantastic artist leaving us now,

  59. 1.... ....

    CON-TACT

    God this is so stupid.

    1.... ....

    +12thManInTokyo ...It is great. You are stupid.

    1.... ....

    hahahahaha

    1.... ....

    Yup but she picked up a check. Where is yours? hahahahha

  60. L.... F....

    grew up listening to this.....R.I.P Whitney.👑❤

  61. A.... R....

    love's electric, turn me on and see. lol. miss u Whitney.

  62. B.... ....

    So risqué, I ♥ it!!! "hey boy, why don't you come on over so we can make that huh..contact, you digg?" ugh so damn sexy! lol

  63. t.... m....

    I miss the 80s!!!

    t.... m....

    +tessa milano awww I wasn't even alive in them days- but I miss the 80's to!-That's when music was so real ... WHY WAS I BORN IN '99

  64. k.... ....

    This and "Run to You" have always been my two favorite Whitney Houston songs

  65. T.... S....

    Que voz!!!

  66. R.... ....

    Whitney  has such talent and beauty. What a shame she met BB

    R.... ....

    A-G-A-I-N. He may have been many things but he did not introduce her to drugs that brought her down.

  67. D.... W....

    Lovely voice, crap song

  68. R.... R....

     I love her talking voice in this song

  69. K.... M....

    It's a wonder to me that this song didn't rate higher back in 1987.  It has such an infectious, intoxicating groove.  Frankly, I think it's better than "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (who loves me)."  

    K.... M....

    KOMET MARTIN exactly!

    K.... M....

    Yea, the hook save this song so much! Whitney can sing anything, but this sounds more cheesy and dated than IWDWS. But I agree nevertheless, it probably would have at least been top 5 material and would have faired way better than Love will save the day. I love all those songs tho!

    K.... M....

    It just might be as good as I wanna dance with somebody . This was underrated

    K.... M....

    Well now. None of your are PR or AR people are you. None of you were employed by Arista or Clive Davis. That's probably why this song was not chosen... BECAUSE SHE IS IMITATING DIANA ROSS. Clive's muse for Whitney Houston. This song cut too close.... radio would know it and not play it...amateurs.

    K.... M....

    @Ron Rossmore Now you can request all you like a lot of on request stations (Power Station 107 and RAM FM)

  70. J.... j....

    muito bom!!!

  71. M.... R....

    Natural God given talent...rip.

    M.... R....

    +Permenus nyatete I guess this is quite unfair regarding the amount of work achieved by this singer and the whole team around her.

  72. A.... R....

    Love is a Contact Sport is my favourite Whitney track. What a loss she is

  73. A.... D....

    R.I.P <3 The Legend at he best! <3

  74. S.... T....

    Great song from whitney album in 1987

  75. D.... P....

    Crack is whack. Too bad this tremendous talent couldn't stay away from cocaine. This album was her peak, I get so emotional....

  76. A.... N....

    CHRISTMAS 1987 ALL OVER AGAIN.....

  77. R.... l....

    why??.5 dislikes !!..oldschool music the best!!.

  78. w.... ....

    great track R.I.P gone too soon xx

  79. W.... K....

    Only a voice like hers could make a song this underdeveloped, repetitive, and shallow an interesting toe tapper with her voice of gold

  80. a.... ....

    Her first 3 albums are kick-ass fantastic.

    a.... ....

    Ikr and the soundtrack in 1992 !!

  81. S.... W....

  90. M.... ....

    I used to sit in my room alone and sing this over and over again, also recording myself. I must've 4 or 5, and didn't even know what the words meant. Just knew I idolized this beautiful woman and voice. I'm now 29 and grateful for these memories. RIP Whitney.

  91. G.... V....

    Thank you Whitney for making our lives better through your music and talent.
    We miss you, but know that you are in a better place.
    God needed the voice of an angel, so he made you an angel in the greatest of all places.
    One day, we will all be together, and that "One Moment in Time" will be forever.
    God bless you and thank you for being Whitney Houston.
