Signs
Beyoncé feat. Missy Elliott/Missy Elliott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In December
Every sign has its own mode
I was in love with a Sagittarius
See the emotions he put me through
From Capricorns to Aquarius
They all got their different minds
The affection of a Virgo
Which sign matches good with mine?

I was in love with a Sagittarius, he blew my mind
He also had a flip side, too much like a Gemini
He was freaky like a Taurus the way he handled me, yeah
Flirtatious like an Aries, which sign is best for me?

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh (yeah)
Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, I love all y'all (yeah)
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh (hey)
Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, I love all y'all (oh, hey)

I wish he was a Virgo (Virgo), the same sign as me (ooh me)
And know how to show me love 'cause I've been hurt by a Pisces
Rewind
I wish he was a Virgo (Virgo), the same sign as me (me)
And know how to show me love 'cause I've been hurt by a Pisces
I want him sexy like a Scorpio
The way he holds me close, yeah
Sensitive as a Cancer, every sign from coast to coast

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh
Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, I love all y'all
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh
Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, I love all y'all

I can't explain why I love him
Bossy like Leos do
Got game like an Aquarius
Switch moves after he been with you
Fun like a Libra
He stays on my mind
He's so unpredictable (oh)
He reminds me of every sign

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh (hey)
Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, I love all y'all
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh
Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, I love all y'all

Every sign from the first to the last (woah, woah)
Every day of the month has its good and its bad (every day of the month)
I love you all, all twelve signs (I love you all, ah)

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh (ah oh)
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh (ah oh)
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, oh (say rough when he hug me at night)

Uh huh, every one of these signs, you know you blowin' me away (oh, be rough when he hug me at night, oh)
No matter when you're born, for sure with me you okay (say rough when he hug me at night)
I love every one of y'all no matter what sign you are (say rough when he hug me at night)
January to December, here's my open arms

I was in love with a Sagittarius (hey, da da da da da da)
I was in love with a Sagittarius (da da, na na, da da da da da)
I was in love with a Sagittarius (la da da da da, da da da da da)




I was in love with a Sagittarius (la da da da da, da da da da da)
Uh, uh, uh, ah, ah, ah, ah
