Young MC "That's The Way Love Goes"

Young MC의 1991년도 앨범 Brainstorm 입니다. 완성도에 비해 상당히 저평가된 앨범이죠.

저게 뭐지? ...... 자연스럽게(?) 의아함이 들게 만드는 참으로 촌스런

앨범 커버이지만, 그 내용물들은 욕지거리나 어줍짢은 멜로딕함이

쏘~옥 빠진, 깔끔함이 돋보입니다. 리듬과 라임에 집중하고,

정확하게 전달되는 가사 내용이 아.. 고수는 역시 고수이구나..라는 생각이 들게 하죠.

본질에 충실하다 보니, 상업성이 떨어지게 되고, 그래서 앨범이 발매되었을 때,

단기적인 '대박' 같은 건 없었지만, ( 차트도 완전 하위권) 그 이후로도

계속하여 꾸준히 팔리게 되는 스테디셀러 앨범이 됩니다.

 

Okay, this is what I say

About when I was a young man

Back in the day

I'd see a young lady

Thinking she was fine

Then I'd try to step to her

Just to make her mine

Bet, I proceed with a plan

Tellin' her how I could be her man

Lookin' in her eyes

While I tossed the bait

But she threw it back right in my face

Now I wanted this girl just to talk to me

But she wouldn't even take the time to walk to me

I got dissed

And that made me mad

So I ran home just to tell my dad

I had a question, for my dear father

If girls treat you this bad, why bother?

He said you're learnin' somethin' everyone else knows

Just listen close son

'Cause that's the way love goes

(Ah hah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Oh yeah yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Oh yeah yeah, that's the way love goes)

Now I remember

When I got older

The ladies got hotter

And my luck got colder

Girls tellin' me I won't go for that

Just because Young mc was not that

Now by That, I don't mean overweight

I mean makin' crazy dollars

'Til they come in a crate

Ya see, I had myself a job

I worked as hard as I could

But to the young ladies

It was just no good

Wow, I guess you can't win for losin'

Havin' bad luck with the girls you're choosin'

I said to myself these dames are wack

But give me some time and I'm gonna get them back

But for now I manage my situation

I'm pickin' my women all across the nation

I'm havin' rough times with the girls I chose

But I'll have to deal, because yo

That's the way love goes

(Yuh hah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes)

Break it down

[Bridge:]

Alright, I went out last night

Thinking I'd find a girl that would treat me right

I find myself chillin' at a discoteque

And the night went better than I could expect

One girl, down for the whole evenin'

For when I got there to when I was leaving

We went to her place and got a night cap

She said she was a model

I said, yo, I rap

We opened up a window to watch a full moon

But the night was much colder than the afternoon

She started to shiver

So I gave her my sweater

I said you alright?

She said, yeah much better

I held her close, she felt good in my arms

And I knew this girl would do me no harm

Thinkin' how the two of us could be as one

Then I fell asleep before my thought was done

Now I woke up, I was still in her place

In the mornin' sunlight I could see her face

Yo, I tried to get up, so I could start my day

But I nearly knocked over my breakfast tray

Now this girl went and made breakfast for me

When last night was the first time she saw me

You win some, you lose some, I suppose

Well I feel like a winner, yo

'Cause that's the way love goes

(Ah hah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Ah hah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Oh yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(Ah yeah yeah, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

(My my my my, that's the way love goes)

That's the way love goes

See ya!
