The term has subsequently had a number of shifts in meaning. In the early 1950s and beyond, the term rhythm and blues was frequently applied to blues records. Starting in the 1950s, after this style of music contributed to the development of rock and roll, the term "R&B" became used to refer to music styles that developed from and incorporated electric blues, as well as gospel and soul music. By the 1970s, rhythm and blues was used as a blanket term for soul and funk. In the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming known as contemporary R&B.

Beyoncé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seem like everywhere I go, I see you
From your eyes, your smile, it's like I breathe you
Helplessly I reminisce, don't want to
Compare nobody to you
Uh, yes
It's so crazy right now
Most incredibly, it's your girl, B (yes, woo)
It's your boy, Young
You ready?
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no (ow)
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no (sing, one, two, three, four)
Yeah, history in the making
Part two, it's so crazy right now
I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave, I'm begging you not to go
Call your name two, three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
Ay, I know I don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (your love) (sing)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch) (sing)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now (come on)
Looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love (here we go)
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
When I talk to my friends so quietly
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
If you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
The beat in my heart skips when I'm with you
I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (so crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch (your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (hey)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss (he-he-hey, yeah)
Got me hoping you'll save me right now (hey)
Looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love (yeah)
I'm looking so crazy in love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love (hey)
I'm a hustler, baby (I'm a hustler)

It ain't where I been (it ain't where I been)
But where I'm bout to go (top of the world)
Now I just wanna love you (just wanna love you)
But be who I am (you know you love me)
And with all this cash (mo' money, mo' problems)
You'll forget your man (yeah)
Now give it to me
Come on, gimme that funk, that sweet (uh-huh, gimme that)
That nasty, that gushy stuff (yeah, yeah)
Now when the Remy's in the system, ain't no tellin'
Will I fuck 'em? Will I diss 'em? That's what they be yellin'
I'm a pimp by blood, not relation
Y'all be chasin', I replace them, huh?
Drunk off Cris', mami on E
Can't keep her little model hands off me
Both in the club, high, singing off key
(And I wish I never met her at all) and I, and I, and I, uh
It gets better, ordered another round
It's, about to go down
Got six model chicks, six bottles of Cris'
Four Belvederes, got weed everywhere
What do you say, me, you, and your Chloe glasses
We go backstage where we could discuss fashion?
Like, Prada blouse, Gucci bra
Thierry Mugler dress, take that off
Katty blow your horn now
Give it up for Jay, y'all
Katty blow that horn, ahh-ow
Make it funky
Let me clear my throat
I hope you don't mind
Gimme some more
You bad, girl
Crys'
Tia
All together, ladies, woo
Got me looking so crazy, my baby (whoa)
I'm not myself, lately I'm foolish, I don't do this (hey)
I've been playing myself, baby, I don't care (whoa, woo)
'Cause your love's got the best of me
And, baby, you're making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don't care who sees (listen)
'Cause, baby, you got me, you got me so crazy, baby (whoa)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's (your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (lookin' crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (crazy)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss (crazy)
Got me hoping you'll save me right now (bump-bump)
Looking so crazy, your love's (he-he-he-he-hey)
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love (woo)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love
Looking so crazy, your love's
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love

@Slayton701
Simply Shy ( proverbs ) Jesus is the way. 16 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.
3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lordmen depart from evil.
7Â When a man's ways please theLord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Â Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.
10Â A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11Â A just weight and balance are theLord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12Â It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13Â Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14Â The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15Â In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16Â How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17Â The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18Â Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19Â Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
22Â Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23Â The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24Â Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25Â There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26Â He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27Â An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28Â A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29Â A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
32Â He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
