The music video was directed by Pierre Debusschere, who also directed the video for “Ghost”. There is distinct parallel imagery to two works of art: Michaelangelo’s “Pietà” and René Magritte’s “The Lovers”, which were intended by the director. Surrealistic, highly interpretive imagery make “Mine” arguably one of the best videos on "Beyoncé".
Mine
Beyoncé feat. Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took a trip to clear my mind
Now I'm even more lost
And you're still so fine, oh my oh my
Been having conversations about breakups and separations
I'm not feeling like myself since the baby
Are we gonna even make it? Oh
'Cause if we are, we're taking this a little too far
Baby, if we are, we're taking this a little too far
Me being wherever I'm at, worried about wherever you are
We're taking this a little too far
We're taking this a little too far
Know you wanna roll with a good girl?
Do it big do it all for a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Don't sleep when you know you got it good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Wanna roll, wanna roll with a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
And I still keep it hood, still treat you like I should
What's up
On my mind up past my bedtime, no rest at the kingdom
Alone in my place, my heart is away
All that I can think of is, we should get married
We should get married
Let's stop holding back on this and let's get carried away
Stop making a big deal out of the little things
'Cause I got big deals and I got little things
Got everything I'm asking for but you
Stop making a big deal out of the little things, let's get carried away
Come right now, you know where I stay
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
All I'm really asking for is you
You're mine, you're mine
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
As long as you know who you belong to
Know you wanna roll with a good girl?
Do it big do it all for a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Don't sleep when you know you got it good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Wanna roll, wanna roll with a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
And I still keep it hood, still treat you like I should
What's up
From eight until late, I think 'bout you
You own my nights I don't know what to do
I can't get no rest, can't get no sleep
This whole thing got way too deep and we should
Stop making a big deal out of the little things
'Cause I got big deals and I got little things
I got everything I'm asking for but you
Stop making a big deal out of the little things, let's get carried away
Come right now, you know where I stay
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
All I'm really asking for is you
You're mine, you're mine
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
As long as you know who you belong to
Know you wanna roll with a good girl?
Do it big do it all for a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Don't sleep when you know you got it good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
Wanna roll, wanna roll with a good girl
One time, this is a song for the good girl
And I still keep it hood, still treat you like I should
What's up
All I'm really asking for is you
Long as you know who you belong to
Yeah
Yeah yeah
(Pull up on you) I gotta pull up on you
You gon' make me have to pull up on you
Don't go ghost on me I'mma go thriller on you I'mma just
I'mma let my hands do the talking when I see you baby girl
I miss feeling on you, I miss everything that's real about you
And that's everything about you that's just how I feel about you
Been about you and I'm still about you but
We ain't finished talking
I told you you don't need to worry about them bitches
All them fives need to listen when the ten is talking
'Cause they don't wanna see you happier than them
And girl you swear they all ya friends and that's been a problem (pull up on you)
You the one they hate, just come with that (yeah)
I know you think it's funny that your ex is not a running back
But that nigga came running back
And you tell me that you're done with that
And I believe it's true
As long as you know who you belong to
All I'm really asking for is you

I've been watching for the signs
I've been searching for a sign as to where this relationship is going
Took a trip to clear my mind
I took a break to try and clear my head
Now I'm even more lost
Unfortunately, the trip didn't help me find any answers
And you're still so fine, oh my oh my
However, I am still very attracted to you
Been having conversations about breakups and separations
Lately, we have been discussing the possibility of ending things
I'm not feeling like myself since the baby
I haven't been feeling like myself since we had our child
Are we gonna even make it? Oh
I'm not sure if our relationship will survive
Cause if we are, we're taking this a little too far
If we are going to make it work, we need to take a step back from everything
Me being wherever I'm at, worried about wherever you are
I'm always worried about where you are and what you're doing
We're taking this a little too far
We need to slow down and take a step back
Do you wanna roll with a good girl?
Would you like to be with a woman who is loyal and treats you right?
Do it big do it all for a good girl
I can offer you everything if you choose to be with me
One time, this is a song for the good girl
This song is for any woman who is a good significant other
Don’t sleep when you know you got it good girl
You need to appreciate what you have, don't take it for granted
And I still keep it hood, still treat you like I should
Even though I have more money and success now, I still treat you the same way
Whats up
How are you doing?
On my mind up past my bedtime, no rest at the kingdom
I can't stop thinking about you, even when it's late at night and I should be sleeping
Alone in my place, my heart is away
When I am by myself, my heart and thoughts are always focused on you
All that I can think of is, we should get married
I can't get the idea of us getting married out of my head
Let's stop holding back on this and let's get carried away
We shouldn't hold back anymore, we should fully invest in our relationship
Stop making a big deal out of the little things
We need to stop letting small issues affect our relationship so much
Cause I got big deals and I got little things
I have bigger priorities than just petty arguments
Got everything I'm asking for but you
I have everything I need in my life, except for you by my side
Come right now, you know where I stay
Come over to my place right now, you know where to find me
I just wanna say, you're mine, you're mine
I want to claim you as mine and express my love for you
Fuck what you heard, you're mine, you're mine
Don't listen to any rumors or lies, you are mine
As long as you know who you belong to
As long as you know that you belong to me and only me
From 8 until late, I think 'bout you
All day long, I can't stop thinking about you
You’re all my nights I don’t know what to do
You fill my night with thoughts and dreams that I can't even put into words
I can't get no rest, can't get no sleep
I can't rest or sleep because all I can think about is you
This whole thing got way too deep and we should
Our relationship has become too complex and we need to address it
I gotta pull up on you
I need to come to you and talk things out face to face
You gon' make me have to pull up on you
If you continue to ignore me, I will have to come find you
Don’t go ghost on me I'mma go thriller on you I'mma just
Don't disappear or hide from me, or I will become aggressive in my approach
I'mma let my hands do the talking when I see you baby girl
I will express my feelings and thoughts physically when I see you
I miss feeling on you, I miss everything that's real about you
I miss being close to you and all the genuine aspects of your personality
And that's everything about you that's just how I feel about you
I love everything about you, that's how strongly I feel
Been about you and I’m still about you but
I have always been focused on you and I still am
We ain't finished talking
We still have some important conversations to have
I told you you don’t need to worry about them bitches
I've assured you that you have nothing to worry about from other women
All them fives need to listen when the ten is talking
These other women are not on your level, they need to recognize that
'Cause they don’t wanna see you happier than them and girl you swear
These women are jealous of you and can't stand to see you happy
They are your friends and there's been a problem
There have been issues between you and your so-called friends
You the one they hate, just come with that
You are the one they are jealous of and hate, don't let them bring you down
I know you think its funny that your ex is not a running back
You find it humorous that your ex is trying to come back into your life
But that nigga came running back
But he still tried to come back anyway
And you tell me that you’re done with that
But you have assured me that you are done with him
And I believe its true, long as you know who you belong to
I trust that you are telling me the truth and that you belong to me
All I’m really asking for is you
All I want is to be with you
