美國黑人歌姬［瑪麗布萊姬］──靈魂／R&B佳作──［Love Is All We Need／我們需要的是愛］

[Nas]

Mary...

Live ya life girl...

 

Mmm, Mmm...

Ohhhh

Love is all we need

Said its all we need

Mmmmm...

Cause everybody needs love

 

[Verse 1:]

Love is all we need

To make everything complete

If we try to live together and be happy

You and me are one

And weve only just begun

So lets make a new beginning and have some fun

Oh...

 

[Chorus:]

Love is all we need

Said its all we need

To make everything complete

All we need is L-O-V-E

Love is all we need

Cause to love you would mean everything

Cause everybody need love

 

[Verse 2:]

Dealing with tough times

Seems to always blow my mind

But I know where my heart is so I am fine

If we remain friends

It would never ever end

And this love I give to you you can depend on, love

 

[Chorus:]

 

Love is all we need

To make every little thing complete

Oh, if you would trust in me

Id let you know, that I love

 

[Chorus:]

 

[Rap: Nas]

Feel this hit, bangin in your residential district

Presidential chipped out canary rock sizzlin

Mary hot pop crisp shorty got this

Fly angel, my dreams of a queen came true

In this land thats dark, if you my man, then you my heart

Ill blast for you, need bail put up tha cash for you

Girls who mad loyal die for you, leave em if they actin too fly for you

All up in yo mix then in somebody else six

Quick to put yo name in some murder one shit

Im not the one cheatin on you, or beatin on you

Cause Im laid back you thought that I was sleepin on you,

Real love make a Ill thug feel bugged

Nas analyze are you trustworthy by the looks on your eyes

Stay wit me, be my dog like Dollar and Richie

She convinced me, all we realy need is love strictly

 

[Chorus:]

 

You know love is all we need

To make everything complete

I wanna be happy, we can be happy

Dont you wanna be happy with me?

You and me are 2 in 1

And our love has just begun

And we can love, we can love oh we need it

 

[Chorus:]

１９９７年４月　２６歲的美國‘嘻哈靈魂天后’瑪麗布萊姬（Mary J Blige）發行第三張專輯［Share My World］（MCA唱片出版）

聚集數組製作人獻力

樂評大致正面  商業表現更加出色

［Share My World］登上Billboard專輯榜后座  讓瑪麗首度拿到冠軍

拿到三白金, 銷售逾三百多萬張

本碟也拿到英國榜＃８　是布萊姬首張UK Top１０專輯

隔年［Share My World］提名葛萊美最佳R&B專輯

 

大碟首支主打為３月推出的［Love Is All We Need／我們需要的是愛］

此曲由瑪麗, James Harris III,Terry Lewis , Nasir Jones譜寫

由於取樣Rick James１９８５年創作的單曲［Moonchild］, 他也掛名作者

並邀來饒舌歌手NAS助陣（Mary J. Blige featuring Nas）

［Love Is All We Need］James Harris III,Terry Lewis被製作成一首靈魂／R&B曲

在中板的節奏中, 布萊姬的歌唱與NAS的說唱互相輝映

因為在美國沒發行實體單曲, 根據當時Billboard規定, ［Love Is All We Need］無法打入單曲榜, 但買氣卻轉嫁到專輯

另外送到舞廳宣傳的混音版也升到Billboard副榜──舞曲榜冠軍

國際方面：英國榜＃１５　紐西蘭＃７　瑞典＃３１　荷蘭＃９０

［Love Is All We Need］是瑪麗事業佳作之一
