美國歌壇巨星［瑪麗布萊姬］feat.［Lil Kim］──嘻哈-靈魂／R&B──［I Can Love You／我能愛你］

 

I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can

I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can

Sitting here,
Wondering why you dont love me
The way that I love you
And baby have no fear
Cause I would never ever hurt you
And you know my love is real, boy I can

I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can

I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can

I know some times
Can get rough but well make it
Well make it through the storm
And I know I will try
To make sure that you can trust me
And you know the reason why that I say

I can love you
A little better than she can oh,
(I know that you) I know that you
Wish that you could be my man
Cause I can love you better than she can

I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can

I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you, (I can love you)
I can love you better than she can

If I told you once, I told you twice,
Q. B. throw the bootie, like a groupie for mo ice
Armor truck heist, hit the bonus like NBushe,
In love wit you since the days of "Juicy"
Now I watch you play Columbo, Picasso
Tricks inside colassals, turn you castles to brothels, Uh!
Who you lovin, who you wanna be huggin?
Dippin on ya Ninja Honda with Tanisha and Rhonda, Wha!

Whos gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody
Whos gonna make you feel the way I do?
Nobody, nobody

I can love you, (I can love you)

 

１９９７年４月　２６歲的美國‘嘻哈靈魂天后’（Hip-Hop Soul）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

 

 首支主打［Love Is All We Need／我們需要的是愛］為宣傳主打

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, 但電台強力放送, 買氣卻轉嫁到專輯

國際方面：英國榜＃１５　紐西蘭＃７

 

１９９７年５月，瑪麗推出第二主打──［I Can Love You／我能愛你］

由布萊姬， 妹妹LaTonya Blige-DaCosta, Rodney Jerkins合寫

由於取樣Lil Kim１９９６年首張大碟［Hard Core］的［Queen Bitch］

其　作者Kimberly Denise Jones，Carlos Broady，Nashiem Myrick也名列［I Can Love You］作者

Rodney Jerkins製作成一首嘻哈-靈魂／R&B, 並有Lil Kim客串

在穩定的funk節拍間, 瑪麗的主唱與Lil Kim的和聲形成類似兩部合唱的效果，

富有層次感

 

［I Can Love You］登上Billboard單曲榜＃２８

副榜──R&B榜亞軍（1997年終#31）

MV則由瑪麗與Lil Kim合演, 在派對中玩樂
