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 ↴
The girl jazz you but she's nothing but trouble
Take her where she wants to go
And ev'ry day you let her know
She's the one who's always on your mind
But she just cops an attitude and leads you off and leaves you blue
Can't you see she's really just a waste of time?
Then she'll turn as cold as ice
But you think your love will win her in the end, think again
She ain't worth it
The girl ain't worth it
All this grief that she's been puttin' you through, oo
She ain't worth it
The girl ain't worth it
Believe me I know
I know better than, better than, better than you
She gets you but then leaves you cold
And keeps you waitin' on the phone
'cause you know you'll alway give her on more try
I'm not the only boy in town
And she loves me into the ground
But tell me, do you really like standing in line?
Give her ev'rything you have and all it does is make you sad
What she really wants to do is tell her friends she did it again
She ain't worth it
The girl ain't worth it
All this grief that she's been puttin' you through, oo
She ain't worth it
The girl ain't worth it
Believe me I know
I know better than, better than, better than you
I'd like to say she used to be my girl
But that would be a lie
'Cause there's no one in this whole wide world
That could keep her satisfied
I know, 'cause I tried
One thing I hate is when a girl plays fake
And tries to make me late for another date
'Cause I tried to make you mine for the last time
So take this key as a kiss and a good-bye
She ain't worth it even though she's on a high tip
She better get a grip and get a grip quick
Fast in a hurry 'cause I won't buckle
The girl's jazzy but she's nothin' but trouble
Give her ev'rything you have all she does is make you sad
What she really wants to do is tell her friends she did it again
She ain't worth it
The girl ain't worth it
All this grief that she's been puttin' you through, oo
She ain't worth it
The girl ain't worth it
Believe me I know
I know better than, better than, better than you
She ain't worth it
The girl ain't worth it
All this grief that she's been puttin' you through, oo
She ain't worth it
The girl ain't worth it
Believe me I know
I know better than, better than, better than you

Welcome, I know you guys are the heads of
I acknowledge that you all have power and leadership in your own families
When you step into my house
If you come and visit me, please do it with respect
Everybody wants to know what's goin' on in my life
People are curious about my personal life
It's not the kind of car I drive or clothes I wear, it's me
The true essence of me is not based on material possessions
It really doesn't matter what the folks may say
I don't care about what others think or say about me
It's still my thang and if you don't
I'm still going to be true to myself regardless of what others think
I'm still the king of the stage
I still hold a dominant role in the entertainment industry
I've been 'round the world and then back again
I've traveled extensively and have had many experiences
You never know what I'm gonna do
My actions and decisions are unpredictable
Bring the drama, flip it back to the Brown bomber
I can handle any conflict or challenge with ease
What's up, kid?
Hello, how are you doing?
It's still my thang and after eight years
I am still staying true to who I am after this many years
Listen y'all
Pay attention to me, everyone
I'm-a be here always, every day, all day
I will always be present and active in the industry
It's still my thang
I will continue to stay true to who I am

Bobby in his prime was not here to fuck around. This man sang, rapped, beatboxed, and danced his ass off. He just gave you a whole concert in 3 minutes.
