New Shoes
Beyonce Lyrics

Hey honey
Beyoncé addresses someone she knows intimately

Cat got your tongue
Beyoncé notices that the person she is addressing is silent

Don't look so funny
Beyoncé encourages the person she is addressing not to look so serious

This took comedian
Beyoncé implies that the situation is humorous

Joke's on you
Beyoncé implies that the person she is addressing is the subject of the joke

And you're good at bed
Beyoncé acknowledges the person she is addressing is skilled sexually

So where's my money
Beyoncé demands payment from the person she is addressing

i know you're bad
Beyoncé knows the person she is addressing has negative qualities

And i would never make that move
Beyoncé implies she would not make the same mistakes as the person she is addressing

So why's the house empty
Beyoncé questions why her house is empty

Light's off by the end of this week
Beyoncé plans to leave her house this week

I'll leave with what i came with baby
Beyoncé suggests she will not take anything with her when she leaves

I'll take jaws** you'll take the mercedes
Beyoncé implies that she will take the lesser valued car when she leaves

Cause i'm gone i'm not staying
Beyoncé confirms that she is leaving and will not stay

I walked these roads with grace
Beyoncé suggests that she has dealt with her situation gracefully

And i'll wave with you behind me
Beyoncé implies that she will be leaving the person she is addressing behind

With a new smile on my face
Beyoncé suggests that she is happy to be leaving

Cause i'm walking in new shoes now
Beyoncé suggests that she has taken a new approach to her life

I got a new song to sing
Beyoncé suggests that she has a new perspective

When i walk in the room every head turns
Beyoncé suggests that she is now the center of attention

Every eye is on me
Beyoncé implies that she is the focus of attention

To bad you're not here to see it
Beyoncé acknowledges the absence of the person she is addressing

And by the time you get this
Beyoncé implies that the person she is addressing will receive this message after she has already left

I was so long gone and far
Beyoncé implies that she has already left and is far away

I'll send you a postcard
Beyoncé suggests that she will send a message to the person she is addressing

Hey baby
Beyoncé addresses someone she knows intimately

You seem to ghost this ain't yo lady
Beyoncé implies that the person she is addressing is not committed to their relationship

This is the chick that you held back now
Beyoncé implies that she has been held back in the past

Now all of the things you've said were crazy
Beyoncé suggests that the person she is addressing was incorrect in the past

I checked out my list and i feel good about it
Beyoncé confirms that she has evaluated her life and feels good about it

I got the new haircut
Beyoncé implies that she has changed her appearance

The one that you said that wouldnt look no good
Beyoncé implies that the person she is addressing did not support her previous appearance

Took that job you said i could not get
Beyoncé confirms that she has achieved something the person she is addressing did not think she could

Wore that dress you said i'd never fit
Beyoncé implies that she has found success where others doubted her

Cause you're gone and i'm great
Beyoncé confirms that the person she is addressing is no longer with her

I got rid of your dead way
Beyoncé implies that she has removed the negative impact of the person she is addressing

And ill wave at you behind me
Beyoncé implies that she will leave the person she is addressing behind

With a new smile on my face
Beyoncé suggests that she is happy to be moving on without the person she is addressing

I got a new song to sing
Beyoncé suggests that she has a new perspective

When i walk in the room every head turns
Beyoncé suggests that she is now the center of attention

Every eye is on me
Beyoncé implies that she is the focus of attention

To bad you're not here to see it
Beyoncé acknowledges the absence of the person she is addressing

And by the time you get this
Beyoncé implies that the person she is addressing will receive this message after she has already left

I was so long gone and far
Beyoncé implies that she has already left and is far away

I'll send you a postcard
Beyoncé suggests that she will send a message to the person she is addressing
