Brand New
Pharrell Williams(Feat. Justin Timberlake) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love, ooo
My love

A winner never quits
And a quitter never wins
I thought about what I wanted
And you were on my list
Remember where I was?
In the desert with no love
No cactus's, just dust
And you swept me from above

My love

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Honey, you got me feelin' brand new
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me

My love, ooo
My love

Life to me is easy
People make it complicated
When love is the tool
No reason we can't make it

Come on, let's go, be brave
Feel somethin' that they'll praise
Once we know that we're made
Then give it all the way

My love

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Honey, you got me feelin' brand new
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me, oh

Listen, all my life, when I describe
What I want, I've been misunderstood
The more I try, at bein' satisfied
And didn't think that I could
But then you came along, and you made me strong
Like God said you would

So I just wanna say
Thank you for this day
'Cause it is so good
Good

Good
Honey, you got me feelin' brand new
You got me feelin' brand new
Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
Jumpin' 'round in your bag
So good morning, ooh girl
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)
You are the feeling I'm jammin' to (brand new)




Like the tag's still on me
Got the tags still on me
