Beyoncè Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Boy!

Oh, killing me softly and I'm still falling
Still the one I need, I will always be with you

Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly
If you leave me you're out of your mind
My baby is a 10
We dressing to the 9
He pick me up we 8,
Make me feel so lucky 7
He kiss me in his 6
We be making love at 5
Still the one I do this 4
I'm tryna make us 3
From that 2
He's still the 1

There's ups and downs in this love
Got a lot to learn in this love
Through the good and the bad, still got love
Dedicated to the one I love, hey

Still love the way he talk, still love the way I sing
Still love the way he rock them black diamonds in that chain
Still all up on each other, ain't a damn thing changed
My girls can't tell me nothing, I'm gone in the brain
I'm all up under him like it's cold, winter time
All up in the kitchen in my heels, dinner time
Do whatever that it takes, he got a winner's mind
Give it all to him, meet him at the finish line

Me and my boo and my boo boo riding
All up in that black with his chick right beside him
Ladies, if you love your man show him you the flyest
Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it
Me and my boo and my boo boo riding
All up in that black with his chick right beside him
Ladies, if you love your man show him you the fliest
Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it

Oh, killing me softly and I'm still fallin'
Still the one I need, I will always be with you
Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly
If you leave me you out of your mind

My baby is a 10
We dressing to the 9
He pick me up we 8,
Make me feel so lucky 7
He kiss me in his 6
We be making love at 5
Still the one I do this 4
I'm tryna make us 3
From that 2
He still the 1

Yup, I put it on him, it ain't nothing that I can't do
Yup, I buy my own, if he deserve it, buy his shit too
All up in the store, shorty, tricking if I want to
All up in the store, shorty, fly as we want to

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Damn I think I love that boy
Do anything for that boy
Boy!
Now I'll never be the same
You and me until the end

Me and my boo and my boo boo riding
All up in that black with his chick right beside him
Ladies, if you love your man show you the flyest
Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it
Me and my boo and my boo lip locking
All up in the back because the chicks keep flocking
All that gossip in 10 years stop it
London speed it up, Houston rock it

Oh, killing softly and I'm still falling
Still the one I need, I will always be with you
Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let me go
Say it real loud if you fly,
If you leave me you're out of your mind

My baby is a 10

Overall Meaning

"Beyoncé´s Countdown" is a fun and lively song about the strength of love. The song's meaning is transparent as it explains how much she loves her partner and how good she feels in his company. She describes how he makes her feel lucky and loved, like a perfect ten. She compares the levels of her love with counting numbers, in which she states that she will always be the one to love him forever, no matter how difficult things get.


The song's chorus is the epitome of her love as she sings, "Oh, killing me softly and I'm still falling still the one I need, I will always be with you, oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let me go." She elongates the word "gone," emphasizing how wonderfully lost she is in her love.


She also boasts about how their relationship has not lost its spark, even after the passage of time, and how they are still passionate for each other in the song's bridge starting with the words, "Me and my boo and my boo-boo riding." The song also encourages ladies to celebrate their relationships, showing love and dedication to their men. "Beyoncé´s Countdown" is a catchy song with lyrics that speak to the heart and captures the adrenaline rush that love brings.
