Talk About Our Love

About Talk About Our Love

"Talk About Our Love" is a song by American recording artist Brandy, taken from her fourth studio album, Afrodisiac (2004). It was written by Kanye West, who also appears as a featured artist on it, and Harold Lilly, while production was handled by the former. Due to the song's use of a sample of Mandrill's 1978 song "Gilly Hines", penned by band members Claude Cave II, and Carlos, Louis and Ricardo Wilson, they are also credited as writers. Lyrically, "Talk About Our Love" is about a relationship that lacks support by family and friends; the music consists of an arrangement using a bass, keyboards, drums, and string instruments, the latter of which were provided by Israeli violinist Miri Ben-Ari. Recorded late into the production of the album, the track was an eleventh hour addition to the album's track listing, alongside "Where You Wanna Be". It was eventually selected as the album's lead single in a last-minute decision and thus replaced the Timbaland-crafted song "Black Pepper", resulting in his dissociation of the Afrodisiac project. Released to generally positive reviews by critics during the second quarter of 2004, "Talk About Our Love" became a moderate chart success around the globe. While it peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, the song reached the top thirty in Australia, Ireland, and the Netherlands, but barely made it to the top forty on the US Billboard Hot 100. more »

What ya hear this time
Go on and speak ya mind
I know somebody's lying
It's always somethin'
Her auntie told your cousin
Then all your homies jumped in
And now the whole hoods buzzin'
He said, she said
Don't let it get in ya head
Baby don't say
Something that you will regret
I'm on your team
It's us against them you'll see
Hey, we ain't gon stop
They just want what we got

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
Instead they just runnin' they mouth
So all we do is tune them out

I swear they got some nerve
Spreadin' what they heard
I can't give them no run
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

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
Instead they just runnin' they mouth
So all we do is tune them out

Here's a couple of things I can't honor man
How you listen to a girl who still want to man
Tell me the truth is that a man or Juwanna Man
I'm wonderin' why she red to go like Wanda Van
When we met you was a V like manana man
Now you went field runnin' plays like Donovan
Knick nav before you get in a cab
I 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 I called you Reeses Pieces
Cause it's no wrong way to do you know what
She turned around giggle said you so nuts
But nowadays we actin' way too grown up
But how ya ex girl get that new numba
The rumors was so numerous
For sticking by me I had to give you two thumbs up
And that's why

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
Instead they just runnin' they mouth
So all we do is tune them out

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
Instead they just runnin' they mouth
So all we do is tune them out

Brandy

Brandy (from brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn—"burnt wine") is a spirit produced by distilling wine. Brandy generally contains 35–60% alcohol by volume (70–120 US proof) and is typically taken as an after-dinner drink. Some brandies are aged in wooden casks, while some are simply coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of such aging (and some brandies are produced using a combination of both aging and colouring). more »
