My baby won't talk to me
She giving me the third degree
And my peace is shownuff disturbed,
I know I'm just getting on her nerves...
She's the only one I need
We were truly meant to be
Can't nobody keep it real like my girl
Nobody in the whole wide world.
Come home to me, girl
I need you
I know it's hard to see, no no no, yeah
Your love will always be my favorite thing.
My baby is only one I freaks see,
She can give it up for so long
Got a brother waiting by the phone
And I love her like a sweet potatoe pie .
Her forever put a twinkle in my eye,
Cold blooded but I can't get enough,
Uh I love that girl so much.
Come home to me, come on home girl
I need you, oh I need you I know it's hard to see,
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
Girl your love will always be, always baby
Lil mama is my favorite thing
She the kind of girl that makes your heart sing
Like a fountain of love that you can't understand
I know her body like the back of my hands
So know I'm her strength from way down inside,
Tenderoni takes the words out of your mouth
And her power of her love makes you feel so good.
That's why I love her like a grown man should
There goes my baby girl
She is my favorite thing
There goes my whole world
I love her always, my favorite thing.
My favorite thing, oh why
My favorite thing
She's my whole world
My favorite thing
My favorite thing yeah
My favorite thing girl.
Ra la ra ra ra, la ra ra ra
Ohh
My babe, you know she's my favorite thing
My favorite thing,
My favorite thing
My my my my my my my
Favourite thing.
My favourite thing.
About This Song
"My Favorite Thing" is a deeply vulnerable R&B ballad that explores the raw desperation of a man fighting to save his relationship while acknowledging his own flaws. Ronald Isley, the legendary Isley Brothers frontman, delivers a masterclass in emotional transparency as he portrays someone caught between defensive pride and genuine remorse, admitting he's "getting on her nerves" while still believing they're "truly meant to be." The song's central tension lies in this contradiction-the narrator simultaneously recognizes his problematic behavior yet refuses to let go, revealing the complex psychology of love strained by repeated disappointments. Featuring KEM's smooth harmonies, the track blends traditional soul with contemporary R&B production, creating an intimate sonic space that feels like eavesdropping on a private plea. The modern references to Facebook and social media ground the timeless relationship drama in the digital age, suggesting how technology both connects and complicates romantic communication. Isley's weathered voice carries decades of hard-earned wisdom about love's complications, making every line feel autobiographical rather than performative. The song resonates because it captures the universal experience of knowing you're hurting someone you love while feeling powerless to stop the cycle, transforming personal failure into shared catharsis. At 72 years old when this was recorded, Isley proves that vulnerability and emotional growth have no expiration date, delivering one of his most honest and affecting performances.
