Beyoncé Grace Jones Tems Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Move out the way
I'm with my girls and we all need space
When the Queens come through, part like the Red Sea
Move out the way
How many times I'ma say
Issa home run when the team touch base

Bruck up, it's bruck up, it's bruck up (bruck up)
Humble like we pon the come up
Don't make it turn into trouble
'Cause we comin' straight out the jungle (Grace)

Bruck up, it's bruck up, it's bruck up (Grace Jones)
Humble like we pon the come up (Grace Jones)
Don't make it turn into trouble
'Cause we comin' straight out the jungle

Move, move, move, move
Yeah, you gotta move, move
Anything you do
Will be held against you
You have to move, move, move, move
Skrrt off, make room
Stampede comin' through
Big boss on the move, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bounce it
Everybody around me
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Bounce it (bounce it)
Pick it up like you found it (found it)

Me and my girlfriends
Came out to play
Fireworks and champagne
Chantilly lace
Broken glass in the disco
Sex on the brain
Watch my reflection
Fuck out my face

Move out the way
I'm with my girls and we all need space
When the Queens come through, part like the Red Sea
Move out the way
How many times I'ma say
Issa home run when the team touch base

Who this girl in the back of the room?
Who this girl in the back of the room?
Who this girl in the back of the room?
It's the groove, it's the Yoncé groove
Who this girl in the back of the room?
Who this girl in the back of the room?
It's the groove, it's the Yoncé groove
It's a party in a hotel room

Find me, I don't need to call him
I don't need no phone, yeah
I don't need to fall
Yeah, you know me, I'm vibin'
You and me is a vibe, yeah
We always catch a vibe, babe

Give me a little fire
Give me a little flame, yeah

Give me a relight and wine
I don't want to contemplate
Give me a little fire
Give me a relight and wine
I want to make you shine
(Queen a come through)

This is how I move, this is how I move
This is why I live, sweet moments like this
This is how we groove, this is how we kiss
(Queen a come through, Queen a come through)

This is how I move, this is how I move
This is how we live, sweet moments like this
This is how we groove, this is how we kiss

Bruck up, it's bruck up, it's bruck up
Humble like we pon the come up
Don't make it turn into trouble
'Cause we comin' straight out the jungle

Bruck up, it's bruck up, it's bruck up
We come through, we slangin' them bundles




Don't make it turn into trouble
'Cause we comin' straight out the jungle

Somebody give me, uh
Somebody tell me the answers
Me and you, isn't the answer, uh
Me and you isn't
Maybe I'm tellin' myself that
But there ain't nothing that'll change that
What good would it be, if I knew how you felt about me? (yeah)

It could've been right but I was wrong
Only think 'bout you when I'm alone
Part of me that cared just know it's gone
And I know, that I can't, get caught up

We could've been and we tried to pretend
Every now and again
We don't dream about, don't think about what
We could've been, though I'm holding again
'Cause I know in the end
You dream about, I think about what
We could've been, we could've been, yeah
We could've, damn

Remember?
Remember the night in Miami
First time you put your arms around me
I'm up reminiscin' (ooh yeah)
Thinking 'bout you isn't helping
Thinking 'bout you doesn't tell me
What good it would do, if I decide to face the truth

It could've been right but I was wrong
Only think 'bout you when I'm alone
You only hit me up when she's not home
And that's why, I can't, get caught up

We could've been and we tried to pretend
Every now and again
We don't dream about, don't think about what
We could've been, though I'm holding again
'Cause I know in the end
You dream about, I think about what
We could've been, we could've been
We could've, we could've been
Oh we could've been, we could've been

Yeah, we could've been
Woah, ooh
What, ooh ohh

[Bryson Tiller & H.E.R:]
Ay
What we could've been
What we should've been
If I wasn't, if I wasn't-
With somebody, if you gotta hide it what's the point of trying?
I ain't just your friend, no, what's the point of lying?
Tryna sell a story ain't nobody buyin'
Look me in my eyes, don't that feel nice?
Why should it end? Baby I could've been
I could've been him, more than your friend
Just say where and when, where to make a trip
Baby make a wish, be the one I'm with
Should've been a-, should've, could've, would have been, ay
Yeah I would have been (damn)
Yeah I would have been (yeah)

[H.E.R.:]
Damn, damn (could've been)
Yeah, we could've been (oh no)



@MichelleGeren

[Intro: H.E.R.]
Please, allow me to show you something
Mmm, somebody give me, yeah

[Verse 1: H.E.R.]
Somebody give me, uh
Somebody tell me the answers
Me and you isn't the answer (Uh)
Me and you isn't (No)
Maybe I'm tellin' myself that
But there ain't nothin' that'll change that
What good would it be if I knew how you felt about me? (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: H.E.R.]
It could've been right, but I was wrong (Uh)
Only think 'bout you when I'm alone (Yeah)
The part of me that cared is almost gone
And I know that I can't get caught up

[Chorus: H.E.R.]
We could've been
And we try to pretend
Every now and again
We don't dream about, don't think about what
We could've been
Though I'm holding it in
'Cause I know in the end
You dream about, I think about what
We could've been
We could've been (Yeah)
We could've (Damn)

[Verse 2: H.E.R.]
Remember?
Remember the night in Miami?
First time you put your arms around me
I'm up reminiscin' (Ooh, yeah)
And thinking 'bout you isn't helping
Thinking 'bout you doesn't tell me
What good it would do if I decide to face the truth

[Bridge: H.E.R.]
It could've been right, but I was wrong
Only think 'bout you when I'm alone
You only hit me up when she's not home
And that's why I can't get caught up

[Chorus: H.E.R.]
We could've been
And we try to pretend
Every now and again
We don't dream about, don't think about what
We could've been (Oh yeah)
Though I'm holding it in
'Cause I know in the end
You dream about, I think about what
We could've been, we could've been
We could've, we could've been
What we could've been, we could've been

[Post-Chorus]
What we could've been, yeah
What we could've been

[Verse 3: Bryson Tiller & H.E.R.]
Ayy
What we could've been
What we should've been
If I wasn't, if I wasn't with somebody
If you gotta hide it, what's the point of trying?
I ain't just your friend, no, what's the point of lying?
Tryna sell a story ain't nobody buyin'
Look me in my eyes, don't that feel nice?
Why should it end? Baby, I could've been
I could've been him, more than your friend
Just say where and when, where to make a trip
Baby, make a wish, be the one I'm with
Should’ve been a, should've, could've, would have been, ayy
Yeah, I would have been (Damn)
Yeah, I would have been (Yeah)

[Outro: H.E.R.]
Damn, damn (Could've been)
Yeah, we could've been (Oh no)
