About Afrodisiac

"Afrodisiac" is a song by American recording artist Brandy. It was written by Isaac Phillips, Kenisha Pratt, Kenneth Pratt and Timbaland for her same-titled fourth studio album (2004), with production was handled by the latter. One of the first songs Norwood and Timbaland collaborated on, the record is an uptempo–offbeat contemporary R&B song with pop and dance-pop elements, built along on a flute, Afro-Caribbean music influences and 1980s electro sounds. Considered by Norwood as one of her favorites on the album, the track expresses a female's addictive passion for a special person, whom she declares her very own aphrodisiac. The song was met with the acclaim of contemporary critics. Many praised Norwood's versatility and considered it as one of the stand-out tracks on Afrodisiac for having an innovative and different production when compared to the others. Released as the album's second international single in Europe and Oceania during the third and fourth quarter of 2004, "Afrodisiac" reached number eleven on the UK Singles Chart, its highest peak, as well as the top thirty in France and Ireland, and the top forty in Australia and Switzerland, where it surpassed the success of its predecessor.

Whatever you want I got it papi
Don't hesitate holla at me
What I'm looking for is simple you see
Love and support and sexuality
When I'm with you, I don't want to leave
I need you just like the air I breathe
But when I'm not with you I'm missing my peace
I got a lot inside I need to release

You fulfill my every desire
When I'm with you you take me higher

[Chorus]
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving
You're my afrodisiac
You're the only one I'm needing
When I go ill come back
Cause there is no way I'm leaving

There is no way you are getting away
I need your love every day
Medicine can't cure the way that I feel
What I need is my inner fill
Being without you its making me ill
Stressing me out I need to chill
Something this strong gotta be real
Nothing or no one show my skills

You fulfill my every desire (oh yes you did)
When I'm (when I'm) with you (With you)You take me higher (oh you are)

[Chorus]

I admit that I'm a prisoner of your sex appeal (sex appeal)
I can't seem to find a way to escape how I feel (how I feel)
I can't wait no longer please come give a dose to me (dose to me)
Breathings getting stronger need you now close to me

[Chorus: x4]

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 »
