Whitney Houston - Salute

(Music/Lyrics: R. Kelly)

(Verse 1)
Say you wanna walk away
You ain't got nothing to say
I salute you
Go on out the door
Now, you take care
No more tears to shed
What, you expecting me to beg?
Well I'm not, i'm done
So when you leave just close the door behind you

Cause, i'm feeling kind of taller than you, lately
I'm feeling kind of stronger than you, lately
I'm feeling kind of better than you
And I know just what to do
I feel like doing my hair
I feel like caling some of my friends
I feel like going to a club and partying

(Chorus)
Cause i'm a soldier girl, in this world
Stand alone, i can be strong
I walked a mile, and made it home
It's good to know without you I made it
Soldier girl, in my world
I took the fall, now I stand tall
Through the pain and all, I made it through
And now im gonna say to you
Salute
Salute

(Verse 2)
You think you know everything
And you think that your shit don't stink
Well it do, yeah
And when it comes to me,
You don't have a clue
It took me all of these years
To realize that you don't belong here
I can do better,
You say i'll never do better
Yeah, right whatever

I'm feeling kind of taller than you, lately
I'm feeling kind of stronger than you, lately
I'm feeling kind of better than you
And I know just what to do
I feel like doing my hair
I feel like calling some of my friends
I feel like going to a club, do some partying

(Chorus)
Cause I'm a soldier girl, in this world
Stand alone, I can be strong
I walked a mile, and made it home
It's good to know without you I made it
Soldier girl, in my world
I took the fall, now I stand tall
Through the pain and all, I made it through
And now im going to say to you
Salute
Salute

(Bridge)
So don't call it a comeback, no
I've been here for years
Through all of the drama and the pain
And all othe tears
Time to stop this rollercoaster,
Say I wanna get off
And start moving mountains, swimming seas,
And climbing over walls

(Chorus)
I'm a soldier girl, in this world
Stand alone, I can be strong
I walked a mile, and made it home
It's good to know without you I made it
Soldier, girl, in my world
I took the fall now I stand tall
Through the pain and all, I made it through
And now I'm gonna to say to you
I salute you
I salute you

Salute
