Beyonce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I ain't got something I don't give a damn, 'cause I got it with you
I don't know much about algebra, but I know one plus one equals two
And it's me and you
That's all we'll have when the world is through
'Cause baby we ain't got nothing without love
Darling you got enough for the both of us
When my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go
Make love to me, so when the worlds at war, that our love heal us all
Right now baby make love to me me me me me
Oh oh make love to me
Hey, I don't know much about guns but I
I've been shot by you
Hey, and I don't know when I'm gon die, but I hope
That I'm gon die by you
Hey, and I don't know much about fighting, but I, I know
I will fight for you
Hey, just when I ball up my fist I realize
I'm laying right next to you
Baby we ain't nothing but love
And darling you got enough for the both of us ooh
Make love to me when my days look low
Pull me in close and don't let me go
Make love to me so when the worlds at war,
That our love heal us all
Help me let down my guard, make love to me me me me me
Oh oh make love to me me me me me
The lyrics of Beyoncé's song "1+1" from her album "4" are about the power of love and its ability to bring people together even in the toughest of circumstances. The first few lines emphasize the importance of having someone who stands by you, even if you have nothing else. The lines "if I ain't got nothing, I got you, if I ain't got something I don't give a damn, 'cause I got it with you" capture the essence of unconditional love and the idea that companionship and emotional support are far more important than material possessions.
The line "I don't know much about algebra, but I know one plus one equals two" is symbolic of the simplicity of love and how it brings two people together to form a whole. Beyoncé is saying that she may not be good at maths or other academic subjects, but she does know that love is the ultimate solution to anything. The song continues with the chorus, "baby we ain't got nothing without love, darling you got enough for the both of us, so come on baby make love to me." Here, Beyoncé is emphasizing that love is much more important than anything else in this world, and that it is what truly brings happiness.
Moving on to the second verse, Beyoncé says that she does not know much about guns or fighting, but she knows that she will always fight for her love. Here, Beyoncé is emphasizing that even though she may not be physically strong, she will fight battles for her love, which can heal all wounds. The pre-chorus "when my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go, make love to me, so when the world's at war, that our love heal us all," emphasizes that during times of distress and despair, love is the only thing that can heal all wounds and bring peace to the world.
