Whatever you need
Anything you want done, Baby, I'll do it, naturally
'Cause I'm every woman (every woman)
It's all in me
It's all in me
Yeah!
I'm every woman
It's all in me
Anything you want done, Baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman
It's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I can cast a spell
Secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
Anytime you feel danger or fear
Then instantly, I will appear, 'cause
I'm every woman
It's all in me
Anything you want done, Baby
I'll do it, naturally
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I can sense your needs
Like rain onto the seeds
I can make a rhyme of confusion in your mind!
And when it comes back to some good old-fashioned love.
I've got it, I've got it, I've got it, got it, Baby, 'cause
I'm every woman
It's all in me
Anything you want done, Baby
I'll do it, naturally
I'm every woman
It's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I ain't bragging
'Cause I'm the one
You just ask me
Ooh, it shall be done
And don't bother
To compare
I've got it!
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman! (Chaka Khan)
I'm every woman! (Chaka Khan)
I'm every woman!
I'm every woman!
The movie's original history-making, record-breaking soundtrack is the fourth best-selling album of all time and won several Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year for the iconic single 'I Will Always Love You', so this is pretty special.
Whitney's live renditions of all six songs will be incredible to hear, although the huge moment of this album is the alternative mix of 'I Will Always' which is her first ever take of the song (!!) and includes a spoken word intro.
Only an talent like Whitney could nail a song so well in their first attempt that it can be released, and we bet it's just as breathtaking as the version that ended up released.
Posthumous releases are often uncomfortable as a fan and listener, however this feels more like a celebration of Whitney as a sensational live performer and her musical legacy.
I Wish You Love will be released on November 17th, with a limited edition purple vinyl available to order now.
