Choosey Lover
Aaliyah / The Isley Brothers Lyrics

Girl, I'm so proud of you
The singer is expressing pride towards the listener

I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
The singer feels lucky and happy that the listener chose them as their partner

And I'll make you so happy
The singer promises to bring happiness to the listener

(Thought I had a lover) Thought I had a lover
The artist believed they had found love with someone else

But I was kiddin' myself, baby
The artist admits to deceiving themselves about their previous lover

(By the time I learned about it) By the time I learned the truth about it
The singer only discovered the truth about their previous lover after a long time had passed

She was sleepin' with someone else, oh, but not you, baby
The singer affirms that the current listener is faithful, unlike their previous lover

Choosey lover
The listener is described as being selective in their choice of partner

Given me security, baby, and you're provin' what you said
The listener has provided the artist with a sense of security and is living up to their promises

(I never worry about you) Never worry about you, baby
The artist does not have any doubts or concerns about the listener's fidelity

Jumpin' in and out of bed, no, not my baby
The listener is not someone who engages in casual or promiscuous sexual relationships

Choosey lover (You're so choosey)
The listener's selective nature in choosing a partner is reiterated

Choosey lover (Oh, you're so choosey)
The listener's selective nature in choosing a partner is once again emphasized

Choosey lover (Oh, choosey)
The listener's selective nature in choosing a partner is reiterated for a third time
