Spoons
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ryan Bedard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And she's like, can you undo my bra strap?
I try to play it cool, in my head I'm like, aw yeah
Then she's like I'm tired and I'm like aw, man
I was 'bout to crush the coochie like a tall can (yeah)
'Cause my girl's thick (thick), she got a booty mane
And a big old belly looking like Gucci Mane
I keep my jewelry on, she love my dookie chain
'Cause guess what (what?)
That's my boo boo thang (who?)
My boo boo thang (who?)
My boo boo thang
She get too comfortable, bathroom door open when she boo boo-ing
I whisper in her ear, are you awake?
Kissed her on her neck, said good night, you my babe

Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning
Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning me

Me and you, let's get lost in these bed sheets
At the very least press my D against your left cheek
She said Fifty Shades of Grey was the best read
I'm more of a Giving Tree type of guy, Shel Silverstein (he's awesome)
She keeps talking, might as well be in a seminar
I'm stuck, completely numb in my left arm
Her knees are bony, I need my homies
And that sounds weird, but I need my homies (yup)
You watched ahead on the fourth season of Game of Thrones? (aw hell nah)
I hold that against you (hmm mm)
I want to forgive you, but inside I'm resentful
With your lame claims that we had different schedules (we didn't)
I've seen your Netflix queues, you're busted
Can I even trust you, do you even know what love is?
She put her hand on my D and started to rub it
All a sudden I succumb, say fuck it and then busted (sleep tight)

Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning
Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning me

Don't trip girl, you know I got you
Let's take it all off, no costumes
See I'm a man, but every now and then in bed I know when to say
Alright, it's my turn to be the small spoon
But tonight, I put my hands around your waist
Feel those little prickly hairs that you missed shaving your legs and say
Good night my love, it's been one hell of a day
And you reply, I'm sleeping

(Space) every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning me




Spoon me

Overall Meaning

The song "Spoons" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Ryan Bedard is a playful and suggestive ode to intimacy and comfort in a relationship. By using the metaphor of spooning, the songwriters are able to convey the closeness and tenderness that comes with being in bed with a loved one. The first verse describes a sexual encounter that is interrupted by exhaustion, highlighting the importance of taking care of one another's needs beyond just physical pleasure. The second verse delves into more intimate moments of vulnerability, such as reading together, having inside jokes, and holding each other when feeling small or insecure.


The song ultimately celebrates the idea of being "meant to be" with someone and the deep emotional connection that comes with a committed relationship. Macklemore's lyrics are humorous yet heartfelt, capturing the ups and downs of being in love and the importance of being there for one another through all of life's challenges.

LYRICS !!!


And she's like, "Can you undo my bra strap?"
I try to play it cool, in my head I'm like, "Aw yeah!"
Then she's like "I'm tired" and I'm like "Aw, man"
I was 'bout to crush the coochie like a tall can (Yeah)
Cause my girl's thick (thick!), she got a booty mane
And a big old belly looking like Gucci Mane
I keep my jewelry on, she love my dookie chain
Cause guess what! (what?) That's my boo boo thang. (who?)
My boo boo thang. (who?) My boo boo thang
She get too comfortable, bathroom door open when she boo boo-ing
I whisper in her ear, "Are you awake?"
Kissed her on her neck, said "Good night. You my babe."

[Chorus: Ryan Bedard]
Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning
Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning me

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
Me and you, let's get lost in these bed sheets
At the very least press my D against your left cheek
She said Fifty Shades of Grey was the best read
I'm more of a Giving Tree type of guy, Shel Silverstein (He's awesome)
She keeps talking, might as well be in a seminar
I'm stuck, completely numb in my left arm
Her knees are bony, I need my homies
And that sounds weird, but I need my homies. (YUP)
You watched ahead on the fourth season of Game of Thrones? (Aw hell nah!)
I hold that against you (hmm mm!)
I want to forgive you, but inside I'm resentful
With your lame claims that we had different schedules! (we didn't!)
I've seen your Netflix queues, you're busted!
Can I even trust you, do you even know what love is?!
She put her hand on my D and started to rub it
All a sudden I succumb, say "Fuck it" and then busted (sleep tight)

[Chorus: Ryan Bedard]
Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning
Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning me

[Verse 3: Macklemore]
Don't trip girl, you know I got you
Let's take it all off, no costumes
See I'm a man, but every now and then in bed I know to say "Alright, it's my turn to be the small spoon."
But tonight, I put my hands around your waist
Feel those little prickly hairs that you missed shaving your legs and say, "Good night my love, it's been one hell of a day."
And you reply, "I'm sleeping."

[Outro: Macklemore]
Every time I go to sleep
I wish that you were next to me
Two people that were meant to be
Under the sheets
I'm spooning you, you're spooning me
Spoon me
