首张debut album内的歌曲充满Hip-Hop、R & B、folk和bossa nova的元素, 亦有点点拉丁风格, 但却并非Jennifer Lopez、Ricky Martin那种over-produced的latin-pop。Debut Single《I’m Like A Bird》、《Turn Off The Night》试听 、《My Love Grows Deeper Part 1》都是R & B的歌曲, 以葡国口音唱出的R & B, 与传统TLC、Destiny’s Child的美式R & B有何分别, 大家真的要亲自听听。“Party”采用Samba曲式, 拉丁节奏加上jazz guitar, 很有电影《乐满夏湾拿》的感觉, 绝对表现Nelly Furtado充满原始魅力的唱腔。
I.. love you, and I.. need you
Nelly I.. love you, I do.. neeeeed you - but
No matter what I do, all I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo,
Know you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do, all I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo, y'know I'm crazy over you
I met this chick and she just moved right up the block from me
And uhh, she got the hots for me the finest thing my hood done seen
But oh no, oh no, she gotta a man
And a son, doh'ohhh, but that's okay
Cause I, wait for my cue and just listen, play my position
Like a shortstop, pick up e'rything mami hittin
And in no time.. (no time) I..
I plan to make this wah-one mi-i-ne.. and that's for sure
Cause I, I never been the type to, break up a happy home
But uh, there's something bout baby girl I just can't leave alone
So tell me ma what's it gonna be? She said
You don't know what you mean to me
I see a lot and you look and I never say a word
I know how niggaz start acting tripping out here about they girls
And there's no way-ayy-hey, Nelly gon' fight over
No day-hey-ame.. as you can see
But I, I like your steez, your style, your whole demeanor
The way you come through and holla and swoop me in his 2-seater
Now that's gangstah-ah-ahhh..
And I got special ways to thank yah-ah-ahhh.. don't you forget it
But uh, it ain't that easy for you to pack and leave him
But uh, you and dirty got ties for different reasons
I respect that and right before I turn to leave, she said
Sing it for me K
Nelly I.. love you, I do.. (c'mon girl)
And it's more than you'll.. ever know
But.. it's fo'sho
You can always count on my love
Foreveeeeer more, yeahh-yeahh..
