Ego
BeyoncéԀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'm-a cut right to the chase, huh
Some women were made
But me, myself
I like to think that I was created
For a special purpose
You know?
What's more special than you? You feel me?
It's on baby, let's get lost
You don't need to call in to work 'cause you the boss
For real, want you to show me how you feel
I consider myself lucky that's a big deal
Why?
Well, you got the key to my heart
But you ain't gon' need it
I'd rather you open up my body
And show me secrets you didn't know was inside
No need for me to lie
It's too big (big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It won't fit (fit)
It's too much (much)
It's too tough (tough)
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego
I love his big ego
It's too much
He walk like this 'cause he can back it up
Usually I'm humble
Right now I don't choose
You can leave with me
Or you could have the blues
Some call it arrogant
I call it confident
You decide when you find
Out what I'm working with
Damn, I know I'm killing you with them legs
Better yet, them thighs
Matter of fact it's my smile or maybe my eyes
Boy, you're a sight to see, kinda something like me
It's too big (big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It won't fit (fit)
It's too much (much)
It's too tough (tough)
I talk like this 'cause I can back it up
I got a big ego
Such a huge ego
But he love my big ego
It's too much
I walk like this 'cause I can back it up
I, I walk like this 'cause I can back it up
I, I talk like this 'cause I can back it up
I, I, I can back it up
I can back it up
I walk like this 'cause I can back it up
It's too big (big)
It's too wide (wide)
It's too strong (strong)
It won't fit (fit)
It's too much (much)
It's too tough (tough)
He talk like this 'cause he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego, such a huge ego
But I love his big ego
It's too much
He walk like this 'cause he can back it up
Ego so big you must admit
I got every reason to feel like I'm that bitch
Ego so strong, if you ain't know
I don't need no beat I can sing it with piano
In Beyoncé's song Ego, she expresses her admiration for her partner's self-confidence and ego. The song opens with her acknowledging her attraction to him and how special he makes her feel. She enjoys his self-assured nature and wants him to show her how he feels. She is lucky that he has the key to her heart, but she prefers when he opens up her body and shows her secrets she never knew were inside her.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's too big, it's too wide, it's too strong, it won't fit, it's too much, it's too tough," which refers to her partner's physical attributes, but it also highlights the significance of his ego. Beyoncé loves his big ego, which she refers to as arrogant, but she considers it confident. The ego of her partner is so big that he can back it up with his actions. Beyoncé discusses how he walks with confidence because he knows he can back it up. The song ends with Beyoncé declaring that her ego is also big and that she has every reason to feel like she's the best.

Admittance is the key to start the healing right
But I didn’t wanna eat that humble pie no, I
I’d rather push on all your buttons to start a fight
Before I apologise
I, blame it on the drink cause we had some
I, swear that I don’t care if u leave, no
That ain’t me though, that’s just my ego talking
Baby don’t roll your eyes
I’m still me don’t listen to my ego talking
I’m owning it tonight
My ego
Owning it tonight
My ego
I know I said don’t act like you’re so heaven sent
I said it’s your fault cus you can’t take a hint
I’d rather focus on the ways you’re not so innocent
But I’m not sorry yet
I, blame it on the drink cause we had some
I, swear that I don’t care if u leave, no
That ain’t me though, that’s just my ego talking
Baby don’t roll your eyes
I’m still me don’t listen to my ego talking
I’m owning it tonight
My ego
Owning it tonight
My ego
