Kelly Clarkson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Cuz I'm the queen of the night
Queen of the night oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Don't make no difference
If I'm wrong or I'm right
I've got the feeling
And I'm willing tonight
But I ain't nobody's angel
What can I say?
Well I'm just that way

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Cuz I'm the queen of the night
Queen of the night oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Just say say it again

You got a problem with the way that I am
They say I'm trouble
And I don't give a damn
But when I bad I know I'm better
I just wanna get loose
And turn it up for you baby yeah

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Cuz I'm the queen of the night
Queen of the night oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Just say say it again

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees
Cuz I'm the queen of the night
Queen of the night oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

I've got the stuff that you want
I've got the thing that you need
I got more than enough
To make you drop to your knees




Cuz I'm the queen of the night
Queen of the night oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Damn! Kelly's a vocal monster!!! Those powerful sustained high belts at the beginning, the vibrato, runs, resonance, grit, headvoice ,transitions my gosh..... Girl, your voice is getting better and better

CP Morgan

I grew up in the 80s. Whitney was (is) one of my favourite OG divas so I'm really biased and critical when any of her songs are covered. I have been a huge Kelly fan and supporter since her Idol days so I know what she is capable of... I wasn't worried, I knew she was going to slay this the way she always does. I loved it. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

@Nicholas Diaz totally different song. The one your talking about is in a opera.
Queen of the night by Whitney Houston is written by Whitney, Babyface, Daryl Simmons and LA Reid

Nicholas Diaz

What re u talking about, its not WH song, she just covered it, its Josepha Hofer song, its an Aria.

Prince XL

If you ever need an example of how top tier Kelly's musicality is, this would be it. Wow

Hannah Mae Damgo

Insane vocals!!! You are literally the QUEEN!

omelette429

Love this rock version, I knew I’d like it more than that demo🥹🙏 vocals have aged like wine indeed

Crystal Campbell

Shows how much her vocals have evolved since the demo. She never ceases to amaze me. She's the Queen 👸 when I saw this on the track list I was very excited, I've wanted her to re cover this for ages.

Gay Moderate

Someone who knows the demo version - a true fan there ;)

Nemo Spence

Kelly rocks!
