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.

All because I been treatin' you so bad
Don't say, "Goodbye", I didn't mean to make you cry
I'm in love with you 'cause you're the best that I ever had
Just give me one more night
I promise I will make it feel alright
All I need from you is one more chance
One more night to show it will
One more night with you I know
Please give me a chance to prove myself to you
Girl, that's all I want to do, baby
Don't say that it's too late, baby, we all make mistakes
Just forgive me, girl and we can make it alright

To fill your life with a little bit of romance, just give me

Stay for one more night
And I'll make it worth your while girl, yeah baby
One more night it will be alright I know
