Although seeming to be about a long-lost flame, Brandy was revealed by Gamble & Huff to actually be about a dog.
[Verse 1: Walter Williams]
Sittin' by the open fireplace in my favorite dungarees
Played a few bars of a melody, and it sounded sweet to me
I thought I'd get up and take a look around, but my feet got in the way
Stumbled to the floor, she was right in the door, I could see her face
[Pre-Chorus: Walter Williams]
But how could it be, she ran away from me
My best friend's gone, I'm so all alone
[Chorus: Walter Williams & The O'Jays]
I kinda miss you, Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
I really miss you Brandy, missing you every day
Are you coming home to stay?
'Cause I love you Brandy, oh yeah yeah yeah
[Verse 2: Walter Williams]
Sippin' on a cherry soda pop, building houses made of sand
Like a little child with a fantasy, just a fraction of a man
But I was in love when they put it down
Oh, my doorstep in the rain
I could feel the love coming to my heart, through my window pane
[Pre-Chorus: Walter Williams]
But how could I know, she would just up and gone
My best friend gone, I'm so all alone
[Chorus: Walter Williams & The O'Jays]
I really miss you, Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
I really miss you, Brandy, missing you every day
Are you coming home to stay?
[Break]
[Outro: Walter Williams & The O'Jays]
I kinda miss you, Brandy
When are you coming back home? I'm so all alone
I really miss you Brandy, missing you every day
Are you coming home to stay?
Oh, I really miss you Brandy, I'm so all alone
When are you coming back home?
Oh, I really miss you, Brandy, missing you every day
Are you coming home to stay?
I really miss you, oh, Brandy
When are you coming back home? I'm so all alone
I really miss you, Brandy
