Choosey Lover
"Choosey Lover" is a 1983 quiet storm soul song by The Isley Brothers. Released on their T-Neck imprint, the song was their second consecutive top ten R&B hit after their seminal "Between the Sheets" hit No. 3 on that chart. It was the second of two chart-topping singles the Isleys released off their aptly titled Between the Sheets album, which was the last charted single to feature the 3 + 3 lineup of the band. A year after this single, younger brothers Ernie Isley (who played the memorable guitar hooks on the song and lyrically co-wrote the song), Marvin Isley and in-law Chris Jasper left to form Isley-Jasper-Isley while older brothers Ronald Isley, Rudolph Isley and O'Kelly Isley continued on under the Isleys name.

Famous quotes containing the word lover:
“You’ve strung your breasts
with a rattling rope of pearls,
tied a jangling belt
around those deadly hips
and clinking jewelled anklets
on both your feet.
So, stupid,
if you run off to your lover like this,
banging all these drums,
then why
do you shudder with all this fear
and look up, down;
in every direction?”
