Choosey Lover

About Choosey Lover

"Choosey Lover" is a 1983 soul song by The Isley Brothers (Originally titled "Juicy Lover"). Released on their T-Neck imprint, the song was their second consecutive top ten R&B hit after their seminal "Between the Sheets" hit No. 3 on that chart. It was the second of two chart-topping singles the Isleys released off their aptly titled Between the Sheets album. "Choosey Lover" was also the last charting single to feature the 3 + 3 lineup of the band. A year later, younger brothers Ernie Isley (who played the memorable guitar solos on the song and co-wrote the lyrics), Marvin Isley and their brother-in-law Chris Jasper left to form Isley-Jasper-Isley while older brothers Ronald Isley, Rudolph Isley and O'Kelly Isley continued on under the "Isley Brothers" name. The song has similarities to the Earth, Wind & Fire song "Devotion". The song was covered by R&B singer Aaliyah as "Choosey Lover (Old School/New School)", in 2 styles to make up track 6 on her 1996 album One in a Million, with the "Old School" section very closely resembling the original before transitioning into the "New School" section, which features more of a hip hop beat and feel to match the contemporary feel of the rest of the album. The song was sampled and redone to make "Buddah Lovaz", a song dedicated to marijuana, by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony & the remix to "Street Dreams" by Nas featuring R. Kelly. The song also has elements which have been used in Keith Sweat's "Nobody". more »

Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
(Thought I had a lover) Thought I had a lover
But I was kiddin' myself, baby
(By the time I learned about it) By the time I learned the truth about it
She was sleepin' with someone else, oh, but not you, baby
Choosey lover
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
'Cause you've given me (Given me security)
Given me security, baby, and you're provin' what you said
(I never worry about you) Never worry about you, baby
Jumpin' in and out of bed, no, not my baby
Choosey lover (You're so choosey)
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
Choosey lover (You're so choosey)
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby
And I'll make you so happy
Choosey lover (Oh, you're so choosey)
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby
And I'll make you so happy
Choosey lover (Oh, choosey)
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby
And I'll make you so happy
