Share my life, take me for what I am 'Cause I'll never change all my colors for you Take my love, I'll never ask for too much Just all that you are and everything that you do I don't really need to look very much further I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow I won't hold it back again, this passion inside Can't run from myself, there's nowhere to hide But don't make me close one more door I don't wanna hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Or must I imagine you there? Don't walk away from me I have nothing, nothing, nothing If I don't have you You, you, you, you You see through right to the heart of me You break down my walls with the strength of your love I never knew love like I've known it with you Will a memory survive? One I can hold on to I don't really need to look very much further I don't wanna have to go where you don't follow I won't hold it back again, this passion inside I can't run from myself, there's nowhere to hide Your love, I'll remember forever But don't make me close one more door I don't wanna hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Or must I imagine you there? Don't walk away from me I have nothing, nothing, nothing Don't make me close one more door I don't wanna hurt anymore Stay in my arms if you dare Or must I imagine you there? Don't walk away from me, no Don't walk away from me Don't you dare walk away from me I have nothing, nothing, nothing If I don't have you, you If I don't have you, oh, you

Musicalmente, o compositor David Foster se inspirou nas canções de Janis Joplin, enquanto a letrista Linda Thompson baseou a letra em seu relacionamento anterior com Elvis Presley.
Em 2026, a música havia sido interpretada quatorze vezes no American Idol, tornando-a a faixa mais performada na história do programa.
O lançamento da trilha sonora fez com que Houston se tornasse a primeira artista a ter três músicas simultaneamente no top 20 da Billboard Hot 100 numa mesma semana, um recorde válido desde o início do uso de dados do Broadcast Data System e SoundScan em 1991.
A faixa vendeu mais de 12 milhões de cópias em todo o mundo e recebeu indicações ao Oscar de Melhor Canção Original, ao Grammy de Melhor Canção Escrita para Mídia Visual e ao Soul Train Music Award para Melhor Single de R&B (Feminino).
O clipe oficial ultrapassou 1 bilhão de visualizações no YouTube em maio de 2026, elevando Houston a primeira artista a ter duas músicas dos anos 90 com esse alcance na plataforma.
A canção foi uma das primeiras gravadas para o filme O Corpo Guarda e teve sua presença estendida ao trailer do documentário aprovado pelo espólio da artista, intitulado Whitney.
