Don't Ask Me Who I'm Bringing Thanksgiving 2026 ldp
TITLE: DON'T ASK ME WHO I'M BRINGING DJ DR LOVE — 007 FM [Intro — Female, Smoky Low Melody] I brought the wine… I brought the pie… And some good news about my life. Ask me about that. [Verse — Rich Lower Register] Soon as I step in, somebody checks the door, Looking for a man they never met before. Mama takes my coat, says, "Baby, you look good." I say, "I'm doing better than you thought I would." Then your neighbor walks in carrying extra chairs, And I catch myself remembering he's there. He asks about the song I started humming, Not why nobody came through with me. [Pre-Chorus — Rising] Now that's a conversation That can get a little time. Don't look past me at the doorway… Come and meet this life of mine. [Chorus — Soaring Belt] Don't ask me who I'm bringing, Ask me how I've been. I ain't an unfinished story Waiting on somebody to begin. I got room for loving, But I like the life I live. If you want to stand beside me… Tell me what you're bringing in. [Head Voice] Ooh, I might be interested— [Deep Chest] But you gon' have to interest me. [16-Bar Female Rap] Walked in solo, still brought plenty, Good heart, good laugh, little grown-woman energy. Own front door, got my name on the lease, Don't mistake an empty passenger seat for no peace. Auntie got questions, I got updates, Ask about the passport, ask about the new place. Ask what I'm building, ask what I'm learning, Don't skip my whole life for a wedding you're planning. Now this man over here got a beautiful grin, Didn't ask for my number before settling in. Helped with the chairs, took a turn at the sink, Asked what I wanted instead of guessing my drink. Little eye contact, little pause in the air, He can offer me a dance, I can meet him there. I ain't closed for business, ain't accepting just a name, If you want my attention, bring more than your game. [Four-Bar Scratch — Original Cuts: "Ask me" / "How you been?"] [Bridge — Low to High] I can be happy on my own, Still let somebody walk me home. Independence didn't close my heart— [High Belt] It taught me where— [Low Drop] To start. [Final Chorus — Full Orchestra] Don't ask me who I'm bringing, Ask me how I've been. Maybe next year I'll have company, Maybe I'll come smiling in again. Either way, save me a place, Let me tell you what I did. If you want to stand beside me… Bring a life that fits with this. [Outro — Low Spoken] Yes, Auntie, he's handsome. No… you cannot name our children. [Band Hit. Applause.]
