Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oooh, I can't believe it
Could this be love, ya'll
Could it be love
Could it be love
At first sight
[Puffy]
Come on, let's go
I like this right here, you ready?
Queen of Hip Hop & Soul
Bad Boy, Mary J. Blige
Yeah, back together again
let's go
[Mary J]
Looking at you from a distance
Getting 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
Ah baby, baby
Could it be
1 - Could it be love at first sight
And I never knew that I
Could fall in love on the very first night
Ooh, could this be love
You had on the latest fashion
It was a big attraction
It drew me closer and closer to you
Yeah baby
I've never done anything like this
But you, I just could not resist
I swallowed my pride and snapped to your sound
Oh could it be, be
Repeat 1
I want to know if you could call me up
Then maybe someday we just might hook up
Could this be love at first sight
[Method]
Yo, once again, it's that other M&M now
How many women feelin' 'em
Somebody call the coronor, quick, Mary you's killin' them
Tell 'em what's the 4-1-1 and who came runnin'
When Clef dialed 9-1-1 from shots commin'
It's something for the radio, guest starring MC
John Blazing the hip hop and R&B
What? You betcha wasn't gon' see me
You can't spell Mary J. Blige without a JB
But back to the matter and the sex on a platter
She only want to be happy and I ain't mad at her, you go mama
Now adays I'm more calmer
And if you take a look at my life, no more drama
Now you know
You searching for a Wu-Tang pro
You find me just about everywhere the Pu-Tang go
Now you know
Feel me like your favorite love song
'cause my computer love is the truth dot com
[Repeat 1 until fade]
The song "Love At 1st Sight" is a collaboration between Mary J Blige and Method Man. The song starts by saying that the feeling of love at first sight is unbelievable. Puffy introduces Mary J as the Queen of Hip Hop & Soul and they go on to sing about how love can happen at first sight. Mary describes how she saw someone from afar and was instantly attracted to them. She couldn't believe that she was feeling that way without really knowing the person. She says that the person's attire drew her closer and when she finally met the person, she knew that it was love at first sight.
Method Man's verse starts with him questioning how many women love him. He talks about how he came to Mary's rescue when someone started shooting at her party. He then goes on to talk about his career in the music industry and how he is always around where the action is. He compares his love to a computer love that is always the truth. The song ends with Mary J singing about her desire to know whether the person on her mind would call her and whether they could hook up in the future.
