Brandy
OJays The Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Played a few bars of a melody, and it sounded sweet to me
I thought I'd get up and take a look around, but my feet got in the way
Stumbled to the floor, she was right in the door, I could see her face
But how could it be, she ran away from me
My best friend's gone, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay?
'Cause I love you Brandy, oh yeah yeah yeah
Sippin' on a cherry soda pop, building houses made of sand
Like a little child with a fantasy, just a fraction of a man
But I was in love when they put it down
Oh, my doorstep in the rain
I could feel the love coming to my heart, through my window pane
But how could I know, she would just up and gone
My best friend gone, I'm so all alone
I really miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay?
I kinda miss you Brandy
When are you coming back home? I'm so all alone
I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay?
Oh, I really miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
Oh, I really miss you Brandy, missing you everyday
Are you coming home to stay?
I really miss you, oh, Brandy
When are you coming back home? I'm so all alone
I really miss you
The O'Jays' "Brandy" is a melancholic love song about a man who misses his ex-girlfriend named Brandy terribly. He reminisces about spending time with her, including sitting by the fireplace in his favorite dungarees and building sandcastles. Unfortunately, they broke up, and he can’t seem to get over her. He is lonely and yearning for her return, longing for her love to fill the gaping hole in his heart.
The song’s opening lines set the scene for the rest of the song. The man is at home, playing a melody on the guitar. He suddenly stumbles and falls, only to look up and see Brandy at his doorstep. This highlights the theme of unexpected love, and how someone can unexpectedly come into your life and change it forever.
However, Brandy is gone now, and the man misses her terribly. The lyrics express his sadness and loneliness, wondering if she’ll ever come back to stay. It’s a classic love song that many people can relate to, especially those who have experienced heartbreak and longing for someone who was once important to them.

Played a few bars of a melody, and it sounded sweet to me
I played a tune on my instrument and it brought me joy
I thought I'd get up and take a look around, but my feet got in the way
I intended to get up, but was too distracted and stumbled
Stumbled to the floor, she was right in the door, I could see her face

Sippin' on a cherry soda pop, building houses made of sand
I am indulging in childhood pleasures of playing with soda and building sand castles
Like a little child with a fantasy, just a fraction of a man
I feel young and immature in the face of my emotions
But I was in love when they put it down, oh, my doorstep in the rain
When we first met, I was struck by the love I felt, even during a storm
I could feel the love coming to my heart, through my window pane
I sensed deep affection from her, even through the glass window
But how could I know, she would just up and gone
I am frustrated and puzzled as to why she suddenly left me
Oh, I really miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
I sincerely feel her absence and loneliness

Wham bam, thank you ma'am, oh ma'am, here I go
DJ Spanish Fly gonna make you move for the damn foe
Smoke that onion, smoke that onion, keep on smoking that onion, onion
That onion, onion, onion, onion, onion
One, two
Don't miss my shoe and if you do I'll bang you fool
Three, four
Now what do you know? I need some more ammo
Five, six
You think you slick? I want my money back, trick
Seven, eight
Don't be too late, 'cause if you do I terminate
Nine, ten
Don't want no gin, I'm drinking yak my friend
Eleven, twelve
You might as well go straight to the hell
Yeah mane act a fool and then it's time for the cement shoes
Cement shoes, cement shoes, cement shoes
Having a mane dead for the cement shoes
Dropping them in the river while I got the Uzi Tool
Young mane kicking it in the Memphis city streets
Kicking it real hard, but you hardly ever seen it
Black [?], Orange Mound, North Memphis, South [?]
West Memphis, Hollywood, New Chicago, Westwood
I'll be doing it all over this side
Westside, Eastside, Southside, Northside
Open up [?] of cognac, didn't they start to [?]
Doing a gangsta walk, 'cause a brother gotta act like that
We, true to the stuff mane, don't care what nobody say it mane
Black mane, real young, always gettin' buck, mane
But always remember, come correct, don't be no fool
'Cause fools also fit in the cement shoes
Rolling through Texas, me and about five OG
On a way back with some motherfucking [?]
The lifestyle as a fucking playa
The bitches get the dick and the niggas get the pimp
So sack it up, pack it up, hook it up then cook it up
Smoking on the onion, get nailed up
Wake up in the morning, smoke about [?]
Pop in the tape, let the Spanish Fly bump
Pop in the tape, let the Spanish Fly bump
Pop in the tape, let the Spanish Fly bump
Pop in the tape, let the Spanish Fly bump
Pop in the tape, let the Spanish Fly bump

This was my favorite song as a child and promised to name my first daughter Brandy. Grew up and had triplets named them Brandi, Brandon, and Brittany.
