1978年12月,Nelly Furtado 妮莉·费塔朵 出生在加拿大英属Columbia区。虽然是在加拿大长大,但Nelly Furtado的父母都是葡萄牙后裔。Nelly Furtado的父母都是普通的工人,而她自己甚至也当过八年的服务生。Nelly Furtado从小就非常喜欢音乐,爱听玛丽亚•凯丽(Mariah Carey)和TLC组合等主流R&B音乐。同时,Nelly还自学了吉他和夏威夷四弦琴。之后,Nelly又迷上了哥哥收藏的Radiohead,Oasis,Portishead,the Verve和U2等乐队的音乐。对不同音乐类型的喜好也为她日后个人音乐风格的多样化埋下了伏笔。
在中学毕业之后,Nelly Furtado来到了多伦多,白天在一家警报器公司工作,下班后的时间就到处去看音乐演出。Nelly Furtado还加入了当地一个hip-hop组合Nelstar,这给了她个人创作歌曲的机会。随后,Nelly开始在多伦多一个小俱乐部里演出,她的音乐才华也开始得到越来越多人的认可。一次,加拿大乐队The Philosopher Kings的两位成员Brian West和Gerald Eaton在看到Nelly Furtado的表演之后立即被她所吸引,并主动提出要为Nelly制作小样。在The Philosopher Kings成员的协助之下,Nelly Furtado成功与Dreamworks签约并在2000年秋发行首张个人专辑《Whoa, Nelly!》。2001年初,为了宣传《Whoa, Nelly!》,Nelly在美国举行了一次巡演,得到评论界和歌迷的一致好评。专辑中的单曲《I'm Like a Bird》和《Turn Off the Light》一时间成为歌迷们谈论的焦点。Nelly Furtado获得2001年第44届格莱美奖的四项提名,最终凭借《I'm Like a Bird》获得当年的最佳流行女歌手奖。
Nelly Furtado ft Timbaland - Promiscuous Lyrics
N: Am I throwin you off?
Nope
N: Didn't think so
How you doin' young lady
That feelin' that you givin' really drives me crazy
You don't haveta play about the joke
I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke
Looking for a girl that'll treat you right
You lookin' for her in the day time with the light
You might be the type if I play my cards right
I'll find out by the end of the night
N: You expect me to let you just let you hit it
But will you still respect me if you get it
All I can do is try, gimme one chance
What's the problem I don't see no ring on your hand
I be the first to admit it, I'm curious about you, you seem so innocent
N: You wanna get in my world, get lost in it
Boy I'm tired of running, lets walk for a minute
Chorus-
Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I'm all alone
And it's you that I want
N: Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I'm all yours
What you waiting for?
Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need
N: Promiscuous boy
Let's get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
Are you ready?
Verse-
N: Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kinda cute
Hey! I can't keep my mind off you
Where you at, do you mind if I come through
N: I'm out of this world come with me to my planet
Get you on my level do you think that you can handle it?
They call me Thomas
last name Crown
Recognize game
I'm a lay mine's down
N: I'm a big girl I can handle myself
But if I get lonely I'ma need your help
Pay attention to me I don't talk for my health
I want you on my team
N: So does everybody else.
Baby we can keep it on the low
Let your guard down ain't nobody gotta know
If you with it girl I know a place we can go
N: What kind of girl do you take me for?
Chorus-
Don't be mad, don't get mean
N: Don't get mad, don't be mean
Hey! Don't be mad, don't get mean
N: Don't get mad, don't be mean
Wait! I don't mean no harm
I can see you with my t-shirt on
I can see you with nothing on
feeling on me before you bring that on
Bring that on
N: You know what I mean
Girl, I'm a freak you shouldn't say those things
I'm only trying to get inside your brain
To see if you can work me the way you say
It's okay, it's alright
I got something that you gon' like
Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash
Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash
Chorus-
Promiscuous Girl
Wherever you are
I'm all alone
And its you that I want
N: Promiscuous Boy
I'm calling your name
But you're driving me crazy
The way you're making me wait
Promiscuous Girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need
N: Promiscuous Boy
We're one in the same
So we don't gotta play games no more
