Music Invasion: Jamiroquai Double Take: "Little L" and "Love Foolosophy"

I have been a fan of Jamiroquai for a long, long time. When I first heard Too Young To Die, I thought it was sung by a girl until I found out from the album cover that it is sung by a guy named Jay Kay. And even though I'm a bit averse of the super skinny, rib-caged showing, slanky skater boy type, I can't help but noticed Jay Kay's unique and cool style. I admire all the noticeable hats he love to wear and of course his amazing musical talent.

I didn't expect that these two songs from the Funk Odyssey album can describe my current love situation or a decidedly lack thereof so appropriately, maybe I'm indeed in a funk odyssey. When I see the guy, I'm completely smitten, but when we're not seeing each other, I feel like there's nothing holding us together and maybe we'll never see each other again. I don't understand why things have to be so difficult and frustrating. From my experience there's only one simple explanation; my love interest is not that into me. Yet I want so much more. I hate to constantly reminding myself that what I'm feeling cannot be and I hate to constantly feeling unwanted.



Love Foolosophy

Ooh baby baby, I feel these sweet sensations
Honey honey looks like a superstar
She got a promise of love-struck fascination
Ooh what am I to do? How am I to know who you are

When this love, fool, osophy is killing
Previous illusions that (I'm a love fool)
I had in my mind about you (I'm a love fool)
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
Tragically compelling and (I'm a love fool)
My love it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool

She shimmers like a California sunset
Lady lady, glitters but there's no gold
She carries sweetly infectious magic formulas
I'm so delirious, is she that serious?
Or is she bringing me on? I've been waiting so long

And this love, Fool, osophy is killing
Previous illusions that (I'm a love fool)
I had in my mind about you (I'm a love fool)
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
Tragically compelling and (I'm a love fool)
My love it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool

I don't want the world I want you (x3)
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you

Love, fool, osophy is killing
Previous illusions that
I had in my mind about you
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
Tragically compelling and
My love it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool
My love it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool

You're my love foolosophy
Don't you see it's killing me
You're my love foolosophy
Don't you see it's killing me

I'm a love fool



Little L

There you were freaking out,
Trying to get your head around the fact that me and you and love is dead
See how I'm trippin' out?
'Cos you can't decide what you really want from me

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L

There you were shouting out
Cranking up your altercations, getting upset in your desperation
Screaming and hollering
How could this love become so paper thin?

You're playing so hard to get
You're making me sweat just to hold your attention
I can't give you nothing more
If you ain't givin' nothing to me
Don't you know that?

You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L
Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
Seems like you're stepping on the pieces
Of my broken shell
'Cos you make me love you, love you
With a Little L, you know
That's the way you make me love you, yeah

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a Little L
