Once he started a solo career, Brown enjoyed commercial and critical success with his second album Don't Be Cruel (1988) which spawned five Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles, including the number one hit "My Prerogative", and the Grammy Award-winning "Every Little Step". In 1989, Brown contributed two songs to the soundtrack of Ghostbusters II. In 1992, Brown married superstar singer Whitney Houston, with whom he later had a daughter named Bobbi Kristina Brown. The couple's drug issues and domestic disputes made them tabloid fodder.
Brown's next album Bobby (1992) spawned several singles including "Humpin' Around", "Get Away", and "Good Enough", however, sales of Bobby did not reach the level of its predecessor.
Brown also appeared in the films A Thin Line Between Love and Hate and Two Can Play That Game. He returned to New Edition for a reunion album and tour from 1996 to 1997, and returned with all six members for another stint in 2005. Brown and Houston starred in the 2005 reality show Being Bobby Brown; Houston filed for divorce two years later in 2007.

Bobby Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the old times
I know a lot of you all out there can relate to the old times
So this one is for you
Yeah
Listen
If I take you back in the room
My Baby
Take off your clothes and all of mine too
laid you down
Lay down
We can be discrete nobody has to know
We don't need no sheets we can just close the door my baby
I can take you places you ain't been before
Soon as we get there baby
You'll be coming back for more, 'Cause
If ain't good enough baby
I'll work harder
I'll keep pumpin every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not stop till I know your heart
If I touch your body to mine
Will you touch mine?
Will you touch me baby? Right here
Kiss both your lips and rubbin' those thighs
Taste your wine
Let me taste you baby, ahh
I can do it soft or I can do it hard
I can make you scream if you let down your guard my baby
It's not too far from here to ecstacy
I know you want good lovin
So lay your body next to me
If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumping every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not start till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumpin every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not stop till I know your heart
So moving your angel body
Feels like you caught me in a night
And when the love gets rolling
Start coming without stop
Filled to the brim
I'm gonna trip down to the very last drop
And if ain't good enough for you baby
I'll do it all for you
And I will not stop till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumping every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not start till I know your heart
If ain't good enough then I'll work harder
Turn it up I'll please you darlin'
Do it up, do it up just for you
And baby I'll taste the wine and give you pleasure
Close the door I'll do whatever
Till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumping every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not start till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby
I'll work harder
Pumpin every minute girl
And baby I'll do you up, do you up baby
And I will not stop till I know your heart
If ain't good enough, good enough baby...
