Afrodisiac

Brandy Afrodisiac Lyrics
1.Who I Am

Thank you for all the tears, all the stress
You're the best
I feel blessed
I'm a better woman now
Look how I smile
All you did was help the next man
Cause this experience made me who I am

I tried to make me love ya
I tried to make me stay
But every time I tried, myself and I got in the way
And just for the sake of my daughter
I tried to stick to the plan
But I had to get rid of the weight on my fourth finger, left
hand

To everybody listenin'
Sorry if you're disappointed
You see the life I chose was only what I thought I wanted
Nothing's picture perfect
Looks can be deceivin'
But what I thought was love was something I could not believe in


I always had that feelin'
The baby boy was cheatin'
I kept tellin' myself, ''if you ain't happy Brand, just leave
him''
I wasn't raised to quit
Cause quitters never win
But what do you gain, if you feel incomplete within

I'm sick of all the questions
All the words and why's
What happened, why'd y'all break up, why we never see you cry
But do you know how it feels
To hurt behind closed doors
And when you go outside, you're wonderin' why you're smilin' for


Now that it's over I can live
Now all you had belongs to him
My heart is open like a book
And everything he eats I cook

What I'm to him, he is to me
We are each other's everything
But if I would've stayed with you
I wouldn't have it like I do

4.Talk About Our Love

1st Verse:
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh)
What'd you hear this time?
Go on and speak your mind
I know somebody's lyin'
It's always somethin'
Her auntie told your cousin
Then all your homies jumped in
And the whole hood's buzzin'
Then he said, she said
Don't let it get in ya head
Baby don't say
Somethin' that you will regret
I'm on your team
It's us against them you'll see
Hey, hey, hey
They ain't gon' stop
They just want what we got

Chorus:

The more they talk about our love
The more they make it obvious
The more they seem so envious
How can they talk about our love
(When they don't know)
When they don't know one thing about
(Us)
And then they just runnin' they mouths
(So)
All we do is tune them out

2nd Verse:
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh)
I swear they got some nerve
Spreading what they heard
I can't give them no words
I can't be concerned with all that talk
I won't be involved, that's my word!
See I'm not the one
They got me confused
They got me messed up
Don't you think I've had enough?
When it comes to what we do
All that matters is us two
Don't pay them no mind
We just gon' show and prove

Chorus:

The more they talk about our love
The more they make it obvious
The more they seem so envious
How can they talk about our love
When they don't know one thing about
(Us)
And then they just runnin' they mouths
(So)
All we do is tune them out

Kanye....

Kanye's Rap Verse:
Here's a couple of things I can't honor, man
How you listen to a girl that still wanna man?
Tell me the truth is that a man or Juwanna Mann?
I'm wonderin' why she 'ret to go' like Wanda then?
When we met you was a V like Madonna, man
Now you in the field runnin' plays like Donovan
McNabb before you get in a cab
I'll trade in my cab
Just to take you back to last summer, man
You don't remember when you was my sweetest?
You don't remember when I called you Reese's Pieces?
Cause it's no wrong way to do you know what
She turned around and giggle said; 'You so nuts!'
But nowadays we actin' way too grown up
Like how ya ex girl get the new numba
The rumors was so numerous
For stickin' by me, I had to give you two thumbs up
And that's why

Chorus:

The more they talk about our love
The more they make it obvious
the more they seem so envious
How can they talk about our love?
When they don't know one thing about
And then they just runnin' they mouths
All we do is tune them out

Go on...ohh...
The more they talk about our love
The more they make it obvious
The more they seem so envious
How can they talk about our love?
When they don't know one thing about
(Us)
And then they just runnin' they mouths
(So)
All we do is tune them out

I don't wanna hear it no more...


5.I Tried

I'm sittin' home on a cold day
Underneath the covers like a little baby
I think I wanna hear some Cold Play
Especially that song where the man says

'Did I drive you away? I know what your sayin''
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ooh, whoa, whoa
I know all about your ways

What you do when your gone
(What you do)
And I knew all along
And they say some people change
So I'll just turn and look the other way

I tried to be blind to your game
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
Shouldn't have left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool and you wouldn't play around
I tried to be blind to your game
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
Shouldn't have left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool and you would wait around

All I can see is your old face
Giving my love away at some woman's place
Maybe I should I get up and go wash my face
Crying never kept you at home anyway

'Did I drive you away? I know what your sayin'
(I know I didn't but you said it)
Ooh, whoa, whoa
I know all about your ways

What you do when your gone
(What you doin' when your gone)
And I knew all along
(I know)
And they say some people change
(They say people change)
So I'll just turn and look the other way
(So I'll just turn and look the other way)

I tried to be blind to your game
(I tried to be blind yeah)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(Deep down I knew)
Shouldn't have left your side in the first place
(Inside ooh whoa)
But I thought I'd be cool and you wouldn't play around
(I tried)
I tried to be blind to your game
(To be blind)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(But I knew it)
Shouldn't have left your side in the first place
(Ooh hoo oh)
But I thought I'd be cool and you would wait around

I noticed it, the calls you get
Leavin' the room and shit
And I knew you had a
And I hated it, that's what I get
(I hated it)

I noticed it, the calls you get
Leavin' the room and shit
(And I know)
And I knew you had a
And I hated it, that's what I get

(What you doin' to me baby?)
I tried to be blind to your game
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(Deep down)
Shouldn't have left your side in the first place
(Oh I shoulda left your side)
But I thought I'd be cool and you wouldn't play around

I tried to be blind to your game
(Yes I tried)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(Ooh but I knew)
Shouldn't have left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool and you would wait around

I tried to be blind to your game
(I tried to be)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
(I tried to be)
Shouldn't have left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool and you wouldn't play around
I tried to be blind to your game
(I tried)
Deep down I knew you wouldn't stay around
Shouldn't have left your side in the first place
But I thought I'd be cool and you would wait around

Thought I'd be cool...
Thought I'd be cool...
Thought I'd be cool...


6.Where You Wanna Be

Unh....
You know what?
On the real...
Mmm... Unh....

Me and you
We been thru
So much that we
Need to start of new
You need to choose
Don't be confused
I think it's time, time that you
Tell me where you wanna

Be wit me or be wit her
This whole ordeal is such a blur
See I was prepared to take a lost
But my heart won't pay the cost
You don't know where you wanna be

You don't have to take my advice
You don't have to compromise
Cause I know that you don't realize
You don't even see
Where you need to be

Be with them, all ya friends
Claim the Clippers is playin' Boston
I won't play sloppy seconds again
Do you wanna play wit me
Or play wit them?
Tell me where you wanna....

Being in love
Is that enough?
When all the problems
Start adding up
Ladies raise ya hands
If ya had enough
Scream as loud as you can
If ya had enough

Cause he don't know
(Why don't you know it honey?)
Where he wants to be
(Ooh!)

You don't have to take my advice
(Don't you listen baby)
You don't have to compromise
(There's no need)
Cause I know that you don't realize
You don't even see
Where you need to be


Don't talk like that....
Ay, ay, ay I promise in all honesty
I honor you, you honor me
For better, worst, rich or poor
Whatever it's gonna be
I'm talkin' bout forever more
The rest of eternity
No need in bein insecure
I know where I wanna be
I know I made a lot of mistakes
But I can make'em up, make'em up
Unless you got your heart
Set on breakin' up
If I can't see ya face
Then my day
Ain't even worth wakin' up
Especially with these haters
And no-good cases pilin' up
Maybe show you attention
Is something that I ain't done enough
But you got all my love, on all I love
Girl I need you to believe in me
You need to know that I know where I need to be
Ay... ay...........

You don't have to take my advice
(You don't have to take it)
You don't have to compromise
Cause I know that you don't realize
You don't even see
(Even though I love you)
Where you need to be
(I'm willin' to let it go)

You don't have to take my advice
You don't have to compromise
Cause I know that you don't realize
You don't even see
Where you need to be......


7.Focus

Should anybody ask for me
Tell 'em I'll be right back
In a real short time,
It's just that I lost my mind
Gotta find it

Who want's to hop on my train of thought
I'll get back here, pronto
To collect myself
There's really nothing you can do to help

Everytime I see you
I'm reminded of everytime we did it
All those other women
Everytime you lied to me
Said you only had eyes for me
Eyes for me...
I don't wanna...

I don't wanna lose my focus
But it's bound to leave
Everytime you come runnin' into me
You come runnin', runnin'
All we use to be
Shouldn't even matter to me

I don't wanna lose my focus
But it's bound to leave
Everytime you come runnin' into me
All we use to be
Shouldn't even matter to me

(Don't wanna lose my focus)

Well it's to late now
Cause I'm reminded
I wanna put it behind
But I'm behind it
Lord knows I'm tired
As much as I'd love to join you
On planet Earth right now
Know that I'm too hurt
Right now to be civilized
I need this time alone
Cause it won't be long

Everytime I see you
I'm reminded of everytime we did it
All those other women
Everytime you lied to me
Said you only had eyes for me
Eyes for me...
I don't wanna...

I don't wanna lose my focus
But it's bound to leave
Everytime you come runnin' into me
All we use to be
Shouldn't even matter to me
I don't wanna lose my focus
But it's bound to leave
Everytime you come runnin' into me
All we use to be
Shouldn't even matter to me

Ooh I'll be back
Lost my way
Got off track
Please try to understand
I use to love you man

Ooh I'll be back
Lost my way
Got off track
Please try to understand
I use to love you man

I don't wanna lose my focus
But it's bound to leave
Everytime you come runnin' into me
All we use to be
Shouldn't even matter to me
I don't wanna lose my focus
But it's bound to leave
Everytime you come runnin' into me
All we use to be
Shouldn't even matter to me

I don't wanna lose my focus
But it's bound to leave
Everytime you come runnin' into me
All we use to be
Shouldn't even matter to me

10.Necessary

VERSE 1:
If I could have your heart
I'd show I love you
I love you more than I could love myself
Mountain high with a valley low
You have no idea just how far I'd go, hey yeah
I'll go put on my good clothes
And I sing and dance
I take the time and I take the chance
I'll make you laugh, I'll make you cry
I'ma tell you like this if you ask me why

CHORUS:
It's all because I love ya
I do
Got to be necessary
To you
Hope your eyes are wide open
You'll see
That your love is necessary
To me
It's all because I love ya
I do
Got to be necessary
To you
Hope your eyes are wide open
You'll see
That your love is necessary
To me, to me, to me

VERSE 2:
When I sing, you know what I do?
I close my eyes and I think of you
When I wake up I'd like to see
How much more you've become proud of me
I get excited, my eyes tear
It gives me purpose for being here
I'd walk the desert and I'd swim the sea
As long as when I get there, you're in love with me

CHORUS:
It's all because I love ya
I do
Got to be necessary
To you
Hope your eyes are wide open
You'll see
That your love is necessary
To me
It's all because I love ya
I do
Got to be necessary
To you
Hope your eyes are wide open
You'll see
That your love is necessary
To me, to me, to me

BRIDGE:
You see, life is so very very short
Your love is keeping me alive
Say that you love me (say that you love me)
I pray that you love me (pray that you love me)
'Cause I know if I just hear you say it
I could make it through the rest of the day
Say that you love me
I pray that you love me (ooh)

CHORUS:
It's all because I love ya
I do
Got to be necessary
To you
Hope your eyes are wide open
You'll see
That your love is necessary

12.Come as You Are

I was just a girl
Innocent like a dove
I was just a girl
With no thoughts of making love
I was just a girl
When holding hands was enough
I was just a girl
A man didnt mean as much

Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a true leading woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman
Now I'm a woman, a woman, a woman

I was just a girl
When flirting was all it was
I was just a girl
And kept feelings bottled up
I was just a girl
Never knew how to touch
I was just a girl
When love didn't mean as much

Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman
Now I need someone who has something in common
Now I need someone, someone, someone

He dont have to makes lots of cheddar
And you dont' have to write love letters
And you dont have to fool with the fellas
Cause I'ma let you know we can get up
Come as you are
So come as you are
Come as you are
Come to my heart

I was just, I was just, I was just a girl
Sweet like honey
I was just a girl
Used to spending money
I was just a girl
You couldn't buy me
I was just a girl
Who wrote in her diary

Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a true leading woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman
Now I'm a woman, a woman, a woman

I was just a girl
So soft spoken
I was just a girl
Mind wasn't open
I was just a girl
My work had me focused
I was just a girl
I was lonely in the showbiz

Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman
Now I need someone who has something in common
(Now I need someone who has something I like)
Now I need someone, someone, someone

He dont have to makes lots of cheddar
And you dont' have to write love letters
And you dont have to front with the fellas
Cause I'ma let you know we can get up
Come as you are
So come as you are
Come as you are
Come to my heart

It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want

I need a man whose sure of himself
I need a man whose true to himself
I need a man who does for himself
I need a man who already loves himself

He dont have to makes lots of cheddar
And you dont' have to write love letters
And you dont have to front with the fellas
Cause I'ma let you know we can get up
Come as you are
So come as you are
Come as you are
Come to my heart


13.Finally

INTRO:
Yo, yo, this is a champion song
Feel me?
Me and Brandy
We have rise to the occasion, c'mon
Like this, talk to 'em, whoa

VERSE 1:
I could've stayed in that place too long
I would've made it ok for you to do me wrong
I would've played the role one more day
If I didn't hear my conscious say

B-SECTION:
Stop, look around
Is this where you belong? (oh, yeah)
Look at yourself
Are you weak? Are you strong? (oh, no no)
I realize that it's all up to me (yeah)
To make myself happy

CHORUS:
Finally I walked away (yeah, yeah)
Never would've seen this day (oh)
Givin' up on those things that hurt me
Made me who I am today (oh)
Finally I walked away (finally)
Never would've seen this day (yeah, yeah)
Givin' up on those things that hurt me
Made me who I am today

VERSE 2:
Looking back on my choices made
Thinking about the things I did to make you stay
Wonder sometimes why my love didn't turn to hate
Then I hear the same little voice inside me say

B-SECTION:
Stop, look around (look around)
Is this where you belong? (is it where you belong)
Look at yourself
Are you weak? Are you strong?
I realize (I realize) that it's all up to me (it's all up to me)
To make myself happy (oh oh)

CHORUS:
Finally I walked away (walked away)
Never would've seen this day (giving up)
Givin' up on those things that hurt me
Made me who I am today (oh yeah)
Finally I walked away
Never would've seen this day
Givin' up on those things that hurt me (givin' up)
Made me who I am today

Oooohhhh, ooooohhhhh, ooooohhhhh, oohh
Oooohhhh, ooooohhhhh, ooooohhhhh, oohh
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be (walk with us)
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be (c'mon)

CHORUS:
Finally I walked away (I walked away)
Never would've seen this day (never seen this day)
Givin' up on those things that hurt me
Made me who I am today
Finally I walked away (walked away, yeah)
Never would've seen this day (never, never)
Givin' up on those things that hurt me (oh oh)
Made me who I am today

Oooohhhh, ooooohhhhh, ooooohhhhh, oohh
Oooohhhh, ooooohhhhh, ooooohhhhh, oohh
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be (walk with us)
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be (c'mon)

CHORUS:
Finally I walked away (I walked away)
Never would've seen this day (never seen this day)
Givin' up on those things that hurt me
Made me who I am today
Finally I walked away (walked away, yeah)
Never would've seen this day (never, never)
Givin' up on those things that hurt me (oh oh)
Made me who I am today

Oooohhhh, ooooohhhhh, ooooohhhhh, oohh
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oooohhhh, ooooohhhhh, ooooohhhhh, oohh (walk with us, walk with
us)
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be (c'mon)
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be
Finally I'm where I'm suppose to be


14.How I Feel

VERSE 1:
I thought about calling you
But I changed my mind
The moment I thought about
What you do to me every time
I'm tryin' to come home and see you
You actin' like you can't make no time for me
So I'm puttin' down this receiver
'Cause if you don't know by now just how much I need ya
Then you'll never know

CHORUS:
How I feel
*ITS ONLY GONNA* change if you let it
And it's real... soon
If you don't do what I ask of you
Boy, I'm still missing you so bad
It's pathetic
I'm for real
See, I need more than your guarantees
Boy, you're losing me

VERSE 2:
You used to be so attentive
Call me at least twice a day
But now, I have no support, no incentive
To keep me lovin' you this way (yeah)
I sit alone, waiting patient
For you to return to me
*(AND I CANT BELIEVE)* just how long *YOUR PLANS HAVE TAKIN'*
If you don't know by now what mistake you're makin'
Then you'll never know

CHORUS:
How I feel
*ITS ONLY GONNA* change if you let it
And it's real... soon
If you don't do what I ask of you *(ohhh...)*
Boy, I'm still missing you so bad
It's pathetic
I'm for real
See, I need more than your guarantees
Boy, you're losing me

BRIDGE:
I hate it when you treat me like a burden
It hurts when I feel
like you don't need me
I wanna believe that you love me
But it's so hard to relax
When you won't call me back
Throwin' me off like it's a wrap, then just say that
'Cause I'm tired of complaining
If you ain't never gonna change it
Then you can't change the way I feel

*(Ho,ho,ho...repeat X15)*
Noooo...

CHORUS: '( )' are parts spoken.
How I feel
*ITS ONLY GONNA* change if you let it
And it's real soon
If you don't do what I ask of you
Boy, I'm still missing you so bad
It's pathetic
I'm for real
See, I need more than your guarantees
Boy, you're losing me
How I feel *(how i feel boy)*
ITS ONLY GONNA change if you let it *(let it go boy)*
And it's real*(oh)*... soon *(cuz I need ya)*
If you don't do what I ask of you *(yeah...and I want ya boy.HOT
DaddyAndMothrer)*
Boy, I'm still *(I'm still...) missing you so bad
It's pathetic *(OH BOY)*
I'm for real *(I need ya, I want ya)*
See, I need more than your guarantees *(gotta have ya baby)*
Boy, you're losing me

Yeah


15.Should I Go

VERSE 1:
I'm standing on the edge of the industry
Wondering if it's all that important to me
To get my records back out there on the streets
It ain't like I'm hurting or anything
I'm to the point right now where money ain't an issue
I can roll where I want to, do what I wanna do
Tempted to leave it in my rear-view
Because this game ain't what I'm used to

CHORUS:
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way

VERSE 2:
It used to be a few artists at a time
Now, even the veterans wait in line
Pre-mature release of these albums online
Makin' it hard for real entertainers to shine
If you manage to defeat all these odds against you
Keep doin' your thang 'cause I'm not mad at you
Just tryin' to figure out where I fit into
All of this now, or if I do

CHORUS:
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way

VERSE 3:
This industry was more like a different world
When it was just me, Monica, and Babygirl
Aaliyah, I never got to tell you how much you meant
I wish you and me both was sittin' here workin with Tim
Just to be in the presence of people that you affected on a
personal level
Just makes me stop for a second (pause & exhale)
You were such a blessing
You only answered one of my questions

CHORUS:
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way

BRIDGE:
Well, I gave it some time
And I made up my mind
Move over, this is my time
B-Rocka's back on the grind

CHORUS:
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way

Oh oh oh oh
Ooooooh ooooh oh oh oh
Oh oh ooooh oooh
Oh oh whoa ooooh oh
