Brain
N*E*R*D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
What do you think baby?
I know I want you
And you know you want me
But can you promise please
You'll say yes to me
I love how you think
You think oh so deep
And share your thoughts with me
I buzz then fall asleep

Do your really even love me? (Do you really even love me?)
If you do there is no pain (it's a heavy love)
Do I really even love you? (Or do I like?)
Or do I really love your brain?
Brain
I just love your brains
Brain

Girl unlatch your bra
But first unlatch your jaw
It's cool to call me dog
But your head is under my paw
Soon as your lips part
Then your tongue it starts
My pulse just races hard
Enough to pop my heart
I'm so high

Do your really even love me? (Do you really love me?)
If you do there is no pain (I don't feel that shit)
Do I really even love you? (Do I love you?)
Or do I really love your brain? (Ah, ah, ah)
Brain (ah, ah, ah)
I just love your brains
Brain

Hands up, if you feel like that (yeah, yeah)
Hands up, if you feel like that (yeah, yeah)
Hands up, if you feel like that (yeah, yeah)
Huh, what? (Hey, hey)
Hands up, if you feel like that (yeah)
Hands up, if you feel like that (yeah)
Hands up, if you feel like that (yeah)
Huh, what? (Hey, hey)

The things you think on me
The games you play on me
And stay the day on me
The words you say on me
When we party hop
Bathroom counter top
Or in your old man's truck
Grocery parking lot

Do your really even love me? (Do you love me?)
If you do there is no pain (how could this be love?)
Do I really even love you? (Do I love you?)
Or do I really love your brain? (Ah, ah, ah)
Brain (ah, ah, ah)
I just love your brains (so smart)
Brain
I just love your brains (ah, ah, ah)
Brain (ah, ah, ah)
I just love your brains
Brain (ah, ah, ah, hey)

Yo, I love what you doing to me right now
It's the best
In the front seat of my car
On the hood of my truck




What we gon' do tomorrow? I got an idea (let's fuck)
I'm orgasmically narcoleptic (ugh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Brain" by N*E*R*D are about the singer's infatuation with someone's mind rather than just their physical appearance. The song addresses the idea of whether or not the love between two people is solely based on physical attraction or if it goes deeper and is based on true compatibility of thoughts and emotions. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that they are attracted to the person and their deep thoughts. They ask if the other person feels the same and if they can promise to say yes to them. The chorus poses the question of whether love is solely based on physical attraction or if it's based on the other person's mind and personality. The second verse continues with the physical attraction motif by telling the person to unlatch their bra and jaw. The singer describes how the person's touch and words make them feel alive, almost like a drug-induced high.
