Bumble Bee
Joseph Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter where I go
There's always one thing that I'll know
That it's you, this much is true
And no I cannot complain
Cause it's so easy to maintain
The things in my life when I'm with you
Pre chorus
And I can't get enough, since you stung me with your love
Chorus
You're my bumble bee, and I can say right now
We'll fly together, makin' honey with our nectar.
And I can finally see, with my hexagonal eyes
You're fine, be mine, cause you're my bumble bee
Verse 2
See we started off friends but I could pretend
I knew you were for me
And no I'll never ever find
A prettier bumble bee
Oh I can't deny, I'll always need you by my side
And you know it's right, we even got some matchin' stripes
No I can't deny, that we're just friends is such a lie
Prechorus
And I can't get enough, since you stung me with your love
Chorus
You're my bumble bee, and I can say right now
We'll fly together, makin' honey with our nectar.
And I can finally see, with my hexagonal eyes
You're fine, be mine, cause you're my bumble bee
Bridge
It is time to realize, that we are more than this, we're more than ordinary
Friends, I'll say it all again you know it's true, cause you feel the same
Way too
Chorus
You're my bumble bee, and I can say right now
We'll fly together, makin' honey with our nectar.
And I can finally see, with my hexagonal eyes
You're fine, be mine, cause you're my bumble bee
The lyrics in Joseph Vincent's "Bumble Bee" are an expression of the singer's love for his intimate partner. The song's title "Bumble Bee" is used metaphorically to refer to the singer’s lover as a bumble bee that has stung him with love. The verse one and two of the song talk about how the singer's life is incomplete without his partner. There is always something missing when they are apart, and when they are together, everything else falls into place, making life feel complete. The lines "We’ll fly together, making honey with our nectar" further highlight the idea of the couple's unity and how they complete each other.
In the pre-chorus, the lyricist uses the metaphor of a bee sting to depict how the singer's lover has fallen in love with him. He cannot get enough of her love, and it has stung him. The chorus then praises the singer's lover as his bumble bee, who he wants to be with forever. In the bridge, he acknowledges the depth of the relationship and mentions that they are more than just ordinary friends who have fallen in love. The song is an expression of a love so deep that it is beyond words.
