Bonnie & Clyde
Jay-Z / Beyonce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cruisin down the westside - high, way
Doing what we like to do - our, way
Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
All of my dates been blind dates
But today, I got my thoroughest girl wit me
I´m mashin the gas, she´s grabbin the wheel, it´s true to the heart
She rides with me - the new Bobby and Whitney
She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show is over
She´s right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami´s a rider, and I´m a roller
Put us together, how they gon´ stop both us?
What ever she lacks, I´m right over her shoulder
When I´m off track mami is keepin me focused
So let´s, lock this down like it´s supposed to be
The ´03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hov´ and be
[Chorus]
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin
Now they ´bout nothin - if ever you mad about somethin
It won´t be that; oh no it won´t be that
I don´t be at, places where we comfy at
With no be-atch; oh no you won´t see that
And no, I ain´t perfect - nobody walkin this earth´s surface is
But girlfriend, work with the kid
I keep you workin´ at Hermes, Birkin bag
Manolo Blahnik, Timbs, aviator lens
600 drops, Mercedes Benz
The only time you wear Burberry to swim
And I don´t have to worry, only worry is him
She do anything necessary for him
And I do anything necessary for her
So don´t let the necessary occur, yep!
[Chorus]
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
(Talk to ´em B)
If I was your girlfriend
I´ll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
Even if it´s somebody was me
Yeah-hee (break it down for ´em)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
And I promise I´ll give my life
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
Put this on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
I promise I´ll give my life
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
[Chorus]
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.

Line by Line Meaning
Look for me! Young, be
Find me, I'm young and free
Cruisin down the westside - high, way
Driving down the west side highway, feeling good
Doing what we like to do - our, way
Doing things our way, without anyone's permission
Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
Wearing sunglasses, this necklace is why I get attention
All of my dates been blind dates
I've been on blind dates, not really interested in anyone
But today, I got my thoroughest girl wit me
Today I'm with my most loyal girl
I'm mashin the gas, she's grabbin the wheel, it's true to the heart
I'm driving fast, she's helping me navigate, it's a true partnership
She rides with me - the new Bobby and Whitney
She's my ride or die partner, like Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston were
Only time we don't speak is during 'Sex and the City'
We only stop talking during our favorite show
She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show is over
She loves the character Carrie from the show, but after it's over she's back to her loyal self
She's right back to being my soldier
She's right back to being my loyal partner
'Cause mami's a rider, and I'm a roller
Because she's my ride or die partner and I'm always on the move
Put us together, how they gon' stop both us?
If we're together, no one can stop us
What ever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder
Whatever she needs, I'm there to support her
When I'm off track mami is keepin me focused
When I'm distracted or unfocused, she helps me stay on track
So let's, lock this down like it's supposed to be
Let's make our partnership official and committed
The '03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hov' and be
We're like the modern day Bonnie and Clyde, Hov (Jay-Z) and be (Beyonce)
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend
All I need in this sinful world is my loyal partner
Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend
I'm committed to being with my boyfriend until the end
The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin
The issue is that some guys don't treat their partners with enough love and respect
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin
These guys often treat their one-night stands with as much respect as their partners
Now they 'bout nothin - if ever you mad about somethin
Now those one-night stands mean nothing, especially if you're angry at something
It won't be that; oh no it won't be that
I won't be treated like that, never
I don't be at, places where we comfy at
I don't go to places where I wouldn't feel comfortable with my partner
With no be-atch; oh no you won't see that
I won't hang out with any females who are disrespectful to my partner
And no, I ain't perfect - nobody walkin this earth's surface is
I'm not perfect and no one else is either
But girlfriend, work with the kid
But my partner, let's work together
I keep you workin' at Hermes, Birkin bag
I keep you decked out in luxury brands like Hermes and Birkins
Manolo Blahnik, Timbs, aviator lens
I get you nice shoes like Manolo Blahniks or Timbs, and cool sunglasses
600 drops, Mercedes Benz
I got you a fancy car, like a Mercedes Benz convertible
The only time you wear Burberry to swim
The only time you wear expensive bathing suits like Burberry is when we're swimming
And I don't have to worry, only worry is him
I don't have any reason to worry, except for my partner
She do anything necessary for him
She'll do anything for me, if necessary
And I do anything necessary for her
I'll do anything for her, if necessary
So don't let the necessary occur, yep!
Let's work together to keep any issues from happening
If I was your girlfriend
I imagine what it would be like to be with you
I'd be there for you, if somebody hurts you
I'd be there for you if anyone ever hurt you
Even if it's somebody was me
Even if it was me who hurt you, I'd still be there for you
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
I imagine how happy we could be together
And so I put this on my life
I swear on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
Nothing and no one will ever get in the way of our relationship
And I promise I'll give my life
I promise to always be there
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
I'd trust you with everything if you were my boyfriend

Look for me
Young, B, cruisin' down the Westside Highway
Doin' what we like to do, our way
Eyes behind shades
This necklace the reason all of my dates been blind dates
But today I got my thoroughest girl with me
I'm mashin' the gas, she's grabbin' the wheel, it's trippy
How hard she rides with me, the new Bobby and Whitney
Only time we don't speak is during "Sex and the City"
She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show's over
She's right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami's a rider and I'm a roller
Put us together, how they gon' stop both us?
Whatever she lacks, I'm right over her shoulder
When I'm off track, mami is keepin' me focused
So let's lock this down like it's supposed to be
The '03 Bonnie and Clyde: Hov' and B, holla
All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)

All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend) (look for me)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)
The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin'
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin'
That ain't 'bout nothin'
If ever you mad about somethin'
It won't be that, oh no, it won't be that
I don't be at places where we comfy at
With no beatch, oh no, you won't see that
And no, I ain't perfect
Nobody walkin' this earth's surface is
But, girlfriend, work with the kid
I keep you workin' that Hermès Birkin bag
Manolo Blahnik Timbs, Aviator lens
