Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
(Thought I had a lover) Thought I had a lover
But I was kiddin' myself, baby
(By the time I learned about it) By the time I learned the truth about it
She was sleepin' with someone else, oh, but not you, baby
Choosey lover
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
'Cause you've given me (Given me security)
Given me security, baby, and you're provin' what you said
(I never worry about you) Never worry about you, baby
Jumpin' in and out of bed, no, not my baby
Choosey lover (You're so choosey)
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby (Baby)
And I'll make you so happy
Choosey lover (You're so choosey)
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby
And I'll make you so happy
Choosey lover (Oh, you're so choosey)
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby
And I'll make you so happy
Choosey lover (Oh, choosey)
Girl, I'm so proud of you
I'm so glad you chose me, baby
And I'll make you so happy
In "Choosey Lover", The Isley Brothers express their gratitude to their significant other for choosing to be with them and for being a loyal and committed partner. The lyrics highlight their happiness and security in the relationship, contrasting it with a previous lover who did not choose them and was not faithful.
The singer reflects on his past mistake of thinking that he had a lover, but in reality, she was sleeping with someone else. However, he acknowledges that his current lover is different and "so choosey" in her selection of a partner. He praises her for giving him security and not giving him any reason to worry about her being unfaithful.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the phrase "choosey lover" and the singer's pride and appreciation for his partner's discernment in choosing to be with him. The Isley Brothers' smooth and soulful vocals, accompanied by the groovy bassline and guitar riffs, create a romantic and soothing atmosphere that makes this song a timeless classic.

My husband and I have been married since 1996, and it was a second marriage for the both of us. This song definitely depicts the depth of love that we have for one another and the journey it took for us to find each other! Here it is towards the end of 2023, and this song still has us swaying in each other's arms. They don't make songs like this anymore!

Gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace Rudolph Isley 1939-2023.

The fact that Ron Isley said he wrote this song after hearing Earth,Wind,and Fire's "DEVOTION" makes this song that much cooler😎.
@Greyareas27
I was surprised that the Isleys came out with a song that sounded so much like Earth Wind & Fire's "Devotion". Lots of people bit off of EWF's sound, but unlike the others, the Isleys were on their level.
