美國歌壇天后［惠妮休斯頓］──日本廣告曲──中板流行曲──［Takin a Chance／冒險］

Theres a chance that maybe in this life Ill find

True love and peace of mind

Theres a chance that maybe I can reach my goal

And soar to the other side

Good things come to those who wait

Im just afraid that I might sit here and wait too late, so...

Im taking a chance on loving you

No matter the price ill pay my dues

Im taking a chance on loving you

They tell me Im crazy

Theres a chance that maybe once I could be wrong

But wrong never felt so right

Theres a chance that maybe Im risking much too soon

But our hearts just fell in tune

Good things come to those who wait

Im just afraid that I might sit here and wait too late, so...

I dont know much about you, but I know I cant live without you

I am telling all my friends goodbye

My friends cant understand but,

I know Ive got to try,

Heres my reason why,

Im in love, thats all I know

I dont know much about you, but I know I cant live without you

I am telling all my friends goodbye

My friends cant understand but,

I know Ive got to try,

Heres my reason why,

Im in love, thats all I know

１９９０年１１月, ２７歲的美國黑人天后惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）推出第三張大碟〔I’m Your Baby Tonight〕（Arista唱片出版）

由於前兩張專輯較為流行取向

這次便較為著重黑人樂風的表現

邀來多組名製作人如LA Reid & Babyface ,Narada Michael Walden, Stevie Wonder操刀, 惠妮也擔任執行製作

只是樂評普遍不佳, 連帶商業銷售不如預期

〔I’m Your Baby Tonight〕只登上Billboard專輯榜＃３　退榜前賣出３００萬張（至今累計４百多萬張）　名列１９９１年終美國專輯＃１０　

英國＃５（白金／３０萬張＋）　日本＃６（二白金／５０萬張＋）　德國＃３（白金／５０萬張＋）　法國＃９（白金／３０萬張＋）

全球８００萬張（至今１０００萬張）

雖仍是一張暢銷專輯, 但明顯不如前兩張

〔I’m Your Baby Tonight〕日本版額外多收錄兩首歌曲：［Takin a Chance／冒險］［Higher Love］

其中前者是惠妮１９８９年為為日本三洋電機演唱的廣告曲

由Benjamin Winans＋Keith Thomas與休斯頓合寫, Benjamin Winans＋Keith Thomas製作成一首中板流行曲, 在輕快討好的節奏間, 惠妮展現其晶瑩的歌喉。

［Takin a Chance］１９８９年１０月初在日本以３吋CD發行, 登上Oricon單曲榜＃８８。

由於只收在〔I’m Your Baby Tonight〕日本版專輯, 因此少為其它地區認識, 但仍是首值得一聽的歌曲。
