Frontin' Lyrics
But you ain't looking at no other dudes cause you love me (uh oh)
So you think about a chance,
You find yourself trying to do my dance,
Maybe cause you love me (uh oh)
So then we tried - we had to slow down
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched
The we locked eyes - and I knew I was in there
And I was gon' tear ya ass up,
I was just frontin (you know I want ya babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya (you should stop frontin babe babe, yea yea yea
But still you sneak and look at me, and girl I love it
Then you give your other girl a shove
Tell her you gon' palm her ass like it was
And she's gon love it (whoa-oh whoa)
So then we tried - gotta slow down
Because you weren't used to how fast we touched,
Then we locked eyes - and I knew I was in there
And I was gon' tear ya ass up,
I was just frontin (you know I want ya babe)
I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
But you know I want ya (you should stop frontin babe, babe, yea yea yeaa)
My god, this song is so awesome! Great cover! So different from the original... hella jazzy :D
For real! I loved it! So smooth and indeed hella jazzy!
This version is so much better.
yeah, pharell did a good job with the lyics, but jamie cullum should have sung from the beginning, the version is amazing. its like crack, its so addcitive
I love both versions.
Jamie Cullum's music is so smooth. :)
I'm sorry if I offend anyone above me, but this to me is like a massacre of what was originally a great song. Pharrell is the only person who can pull this song off. End of.
Not end of...but to each his own. I love both versions and Pharrell himself signed of on Jamie doing it.
This song is addictive to listen to, like most great songs are.
A friend showed this song to me and even though at first it sounded familiar I didnt really see where it came from until I overheard a friend of mine singing the Pharrell version. When it came out I didn't care for it since I'm not a fan of that kind of music. I prefer the Jamie Cullum version so much more. It seems to give the song itself class and its much easier on the ears.

i'm with izzo23 on this one. pharrell is one of those singers that is very, very hard to duplicate. granted, i can see how people would be annoyed by his falsetto. i, on the other hand, find his falsetto quite alluring. it's just what makes him pharrell. and the beats that he makes are always unique and catchy :]
this version isn't that bad. i just think that jamie's slightly raspy voice doesn't suit this very well. it kinda makes the song lose its sultriness that the original one had.
