Mine
Beyoncé feat. Frank Ocean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been watching for the signs
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? Oooh
Cause if we are, we're taking this a little too far
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
We're taking this a little too far

Do 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
Wassup...

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

Do 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
Wassup...

From 8 until late, I think 'bout you
You're all 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
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

Do 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
Wassup...

I gotta pull up on you
You gon make me have to pull up on you
Don't go ghost on me I'm a go thriller on you
I'm a just,
I'm a 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 are your friends and there's been a problem
You the one they hate, just come with that
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
Yeah

Overall Meaning

In "Mine," Beyoncé and Frank Ocean explore the complexities of a relationship. The lyrics depict a hesitant lover grappling with his insecurities, wondering if he and his significant other are taking things too far. This assertion is emphasized by the recurring refrain, "we're taking this a little too far." The song portrays a person who is lost and uncertain about where they stand with their partner. The singer seems to be in a state of emotional flux, struggling with inner demons and ruminating over the possible negative outcomes of losing his partner. He actively seeks comfort in their relationship, emphasizing repeatedly through the words, "you're mine, you're mine," and "as long as you know who you belong to."


Throughout the song, the singer alludes to wanting to propose to his significant other, but can't seem to make up his mind over committing to her. He's also battling jealousy and talks about other women trying to come between them. "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." However, despite the somewhat turbulent nature of their relationship, the singer continuously refers to his partner as a "good girl," suggesting that he acknowledges her worth and values her.
