You must be crazy, I got a man
You got a lady i know, we here together
So this must be something special
'Cause you could be anywhere you wanted
But you decided to be here with me

Don't be shy, come let your boy get in

The lyrics to Beyoncé's song "Love in This Club Part II" are about two people who are attracted to each other but are hesitant to act on it. The song starts with the male singer saying that he wants the girl but is hesitant because she has a man, and he doesn't want to cause any problems. Despite this, they are together in the club, and the male singer tries to convince her to let him in and make love to her. He assures her that they can keep it on the down-low and that nobody will know.
The female singer responds, acknowledging that they want each other but is afraid of the people watching them. She is worried about being seen and what people will say, but the male singer is persistent. He tells her that they can do it on a couch in VIP or in the bathroom, and that nobody will notice. They eventually give in to their attraction to each other and make love in the club.
