Perhaps they should be titled My Love Life because even the most obsessive romantic has other things going on in life, especially if they happen to be one rich and famous enough to befriend Beyonc\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Their duet, which teaches men how to Love A Woman, is a gag, but it goes down easier than the Chaka Khan cover. The music, provided by the hip-hop producers of the day; Diddy only talks on the Intro; sounds fresh enough.
