Mine 
Beyonce 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? Oh
'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

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

Overall Meaning

Beyoncé's song "Mine" is an emotional tune that begins with the singer reflecting on the difficult time she is having, as she "has been watching for the signs" and "took a trip to clear my mind," only to come back "even more lost." She is worried about her relationship and the prospect of breaking up or separating from her partner, which has left her feeling "not like myself since the baby." However, despite these concerns, she remains entranced by her partner's attractiveness, as she acknowledges that "you're still so fine," wishing to be with them no matter what happens. Beyoncé then transitions into a chorus celebrating the "good girl" and declaring her love for her partner, stating that "all I'm really asking for is you" and that they should "let’s get carried away." Throughout the song, she also emphasizes the importance of not being overly concerned with minor problems and instead focusing on building genuine connections.


Overall, "Mine" is a poignant showcase of Beyoncé's vulnerability and emotional depth. The lyrics suggest that though she is successful in many areas of her life, she still faces significant struggles in her personal relationships, which are often shaped by intense anxiety and uncertainty. However, rather than simply allowing these emotions to consume her, Beyoncé confronts them head-on and continues to pursue love and connection with her partner, even when things get hard.

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
I've been watching for the signs
Took a trip to clear my mind, oh
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
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

[Chorus 1: Drake]
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

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?

[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
On my mind, up past my bedtime, no rest at the kingdom

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
Stop making a big deal out of the little things

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?

[Verse 3: Drake]
From eight until late, I think ‘bout you
You own my nights, I don’t know what to do, do
I can't get no rest, can't get no sleep
This whole thing got way too deep and we should

[Pre-Chorus: Drake]
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
