Scared Of You
Nelly Furtado · Whoa, Nelly! [2000]
I'm sorry that I left you
I'm sorry I did forget you
And I'm sorry that I made myself feel better
By making you feel never good enough
I know you'll shine much brighter than I ever could
Maybe that is why I was
[Chorus:]
Scared of you (and in everything I do I'm still thinking of you) oh, you
And I know you were scared of me
(but everytime I tried to love you I just fell through) too
Desculpa-me se te-ofendi
Desculpa-me se te-esqueci
Desculpa me se-eu te-deixei
Eu te-deixei
E desculpa-me por mi sintir bem com tua dor
Sabes que te-adore mais sei que tu estrela a maior do que minha,
do que minha
E por isso
[Chorus:]
Eu tenho medo deste amor (os dias passo pensando en ti) amor
Medo deste amor (Salve-me porque agora estou caindo) amor
Scared of you I was
Scared of you I was
Scared of you
Scared of you
Scared of you
Scared Of You
Released in 2000 on the album Whoa, Nelly!, "Scared Of You" stands as a defining track in Nelly Furtado's early career, marking her transition from pop to a more rhythmic, dance-oriented sound. The song features a distinctive electronic beat and Furtado's signature vocal style, blending R&B influences with Latin rhythms that would characterize her subsequent work. As a key component of the Whoa, Nelly! catalogue, the recording helped establish her reputation as a versatile artist capable of navigating complex genre boundaries. Its enduring appeal lies in its infectious energy and the way it captures the late 1990s and early 2000s electronic dance aesthetic, cementing its place in her discography and influencing her later evolution into a global pop icon.
