I featured a song by R&B trio SWV back in July — their sole #1 hit, ‘Weak’ — and at the time I mentioned that they had three top ten songs in the early 90s. Well, here’s another of them.
In the week of October 9, 1993, the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 belonged to Mariah Carey, whose ‘Dreamlover’ was in the middle of eight consecutive weeks at #1. Carey kept SWV from nabbing their second #1 with ‘Right Here (Human Nature).’
‘Right Here’ had been released a year earlier as the debut single from the band’s first album, It’s About Time. It failed to chart on the Hot 100. Following the success of ‘Weak,’ the trio released a new version of the song remixed with elements of Michael Jackson’s ‘Human Nature’ and had another hit on their hands.
Lately there seems to be
Some insecurities
About the way I feel
Where I wanna be
Boy, ya know it’s with you
No one can do
The things you do to me
Never to be mistaken
Long as it’s love we’re making
There’s gonna be some rain
Gonna be some pain
[Pre-Chorus: Coko]
But as long as I know
Boy, time will show
Our love will grow
And I know
[Chorus: SWV]
Love will be right here
Be right here
Right here
Be right here
No fear
Have no fear
No tears
Love is here
[Verse 2: Coko]
True love, some don’t believe in
That’s just what I’m givin’
I’m gonna keep it strong
I’ll be holdin’ on to you
No one can do me like you do
It’s true
Sure as the sun is shining
Our love will keep on climbing
There’s gonna be some rain
Gonna be some pain
[Pre-Chorus: Coko]
But as long as I know
Boy, time will show
Our love will grow
And I know
[Chorus: SWV]
Love will be right here
Be right here
Right here
Be right here
No fear
Have no fear
No tears
Love is here
[Interlude: Pharrell Williams]
S, W, S, V
S-S, W, Double-V, U
S, W, U, V-V
[Chorus: SWV]
Love will be right here
Be right here (Be right here)
Right here (Right here)
Be right here (Be right here)
No fear (No fear)
Have no fear (Oh, oh)
No tears
Love is here (Love’s gonna be right here)
Right here (Love will be right here)
Be right here
Right here (Love will be right here, yeah)
Be right here
No fear (Love’s gonna be right here)
Have no fear
No tears
Love is here (Love’s gonna be right here)
Meet Me In Montauk 
Good idea to add “Human Nature.” Makes me want to turn this off and just play that masterpiece by Michael Jackson.
