美國黑人歌姬［唐妮布蕾斯頓］首支個人單曲──中板R&B／流行曲──［Love Shoulda Brought You Home／愛應該讓你回家］

Should I even listen

Should I even try

Will I just be hearing the same old lines

Baby

See it doesnt matter

What you say this time

Cause our whole relationship

Is built on one lie

You say things arent the way they seem

But still you cant come straight with me

How can you think that youre in love

When you dont know the meaning of

Love Shoulda brought you,

Brought you,

Home last night

You shoulda been with me

Shoulda been right by my side

Baby

If you cared anything for me

Then love woulda brought you

To me last night

Gotta hand it to ya

Ya had me there for a while

I was so in love with you

I couldnt see past your smile

Now I smell the coffee

Boy, I got a wake up call

And it left the message

That you just dont care at all

You cant expect me to

Believe that she doesnt mean anything

You say that you love only me

Your kinda lovin my darling

I just dont need

Love Shoulda brought you,

Brought you,

Home last night

You shoulda been with me

Shoulda been right by my side

Baby

If you cared anything for me

Then love woulda brought you

To me last night

Then you woulda been sincere

And I wouldnt be in tears

And love woulda brought you

To me last night

Oh baby why

Why do men think that loves just for the moment

Not over time

Please tell me why

Why should I think that

Youre gonna be sincere

Are you deservin

Dont blame me if

I just dont believe,

I just dont believe

That youll allways be here

Love Shoulda brought you,

Brought you,

Home last night

You shoulda been with me

Shoulda been right by my side

Baby

If you cared anything for me

Then love woulda brought you

To me last night

１９９２年夏天　好萊塢派拉蒙推出由艾迪墨菲主演的愛情喜劇片［Boomerang］

原聲帶專輯由Laface唱片發行

首支單曲［Give You My Heart］為公司成立者之一娃娃臉（Babyface）與旗下新人唐妮布蕾斯頓（Toni Braxton）合唱

登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃２９　副榜──R&B榜亞軍　開始讓唐妮受到矚目

１９９２年９月 Laface打鐵趁熱　趕緊為布蕾斯頓推出她在［Boomerang］原聲帶專輯演唱的另一首歌曲［Love Shoulda Brought You Home／愛應該讓你回家］為主打（原聲帶第四主打）

這也是唐妮個人首支獨唱單曲

由娃娃臉（Babyface）與Daryl Simmons, Bo Watson譜寫　娃娃臉,Daryl Simmons與L.A. Reid共同製作

跟［Give You My Heart］一樣, ［Love Shoulda Brought You Home］原本提供給安妮塔貝克（Anita Baker）演唱 ,卻因後者懷孕婉拒　落到布蕾斯頓身上

這是首中板的R&B／流行曲

旋律悅耳　唐妮低沉沙啞嗓音的溫柔演繹帶有溫煦之感

［Love Shoulda Brought You Home］推出後　一樣受到樂評／歌迷喜愛

登上美國Billboard單曲榜＃３３　副榜──R&B榜＃４

英國也是＃３３

讓布蕾斯頓成為倍受矚目的新人

果然隔年夏天她便以首張同名大碟成名

（［Love Shoulda Brought You Home］後收在首張大碟, 成為其技術第一主打））
