Remarks:
This song went to #10 on the American R&B charts in 2003. It already seems dated – like her iPod. Hardly her best song, but I like it for some reason. It samples “Hot Sex” (1992) by a Tribe Called Quest.
Lyrics:
[Mary J. Blige]
Lookin’ at you from a distance
Gettin’ all of my attention
Could this be love at first sight, baby
You walked away and I missed you
Visions of wanting to kiss you
How could this be if I don’t really know you?
Ohh baby, baby
[Chorus – Mary J. Blige:]
Could it be love at first sight?
And I never knew that I, could fall in love on the very first night
Could this be love?
[Mary J. Blige]
You had on the latest fashion
It was a bigger attraction
It drew me closer and closer to you, yeah, baby
I never done anything like this
But you I just could not resist
I swallowed my pride and stepped to your side
Or could it be – be
[Chorus]
[Hook: Mary J. Blige]
I wanna know if you could call me up (could you call me up sometime? please)
And maybe someday we just might hook up, could this love at first sight?
[Method Man]
Once again, it’s that other M&M now
How many women feelin’ him?
Somebody call the coroner, quick, Mary is killin ’em
Tell ’em what’s the 411 and who came runnin’
When Clef dialed 911 from shots comin’
This somethin’ for the radio, guest starring M.C.
Johnny Blazin’ the hip hop and R&B
What, ya’ll thought ya wasn’t gon’ see me
You can’t spell Mary J. Blige without a J.B.
Well back to the matter, and it’s sex on the platter
She only wanna be happy and I ain’t mad at her
You go momma, nowadays, I’m more calmer
And if you take a look at my life, no more drama
Now you know, you searchin’ for a Wu-Tang pro
You find me, just bout everywhere the poontang go
Now you know, feel me like your favorite love song
Cuz my computer love is the thetruth.com
[Chorus 2X]
Your last post title includes the word “blind,” and this most recent post title includes the word “sight.”

yes, yes…back when MJB was trying to recreate the early years of her career.
there was a reason she left Puffy and went to other producers and she clearly forgot.

I like MJB and Method Man. I’m a huge Wu-Tang Clan fan. Music is awesome. It can cross all lines and bring us all together.

Thank goodness she grew up.
Still a cute song on its own.

Abagond,
In light of MJB’s recent actions – blatant spousal abuse, done in plain view of dozens, if not hundreds of witnesses – I am wondering how you feel about supporting such a person?
O.
