Me Myself and I
Me Myself And I - Beyonce Lyrics

All the ladies, if you feel me, help me sing it out
Calling on all the ladies to join her in singing this song about moving on from a toxic relationship.

(There you go, trippin', everything is cool between us baby, I told you that)
Reassuring her partner that there is no need to worry, even though they may be experiencing some conflict.

(Out on the road with my people, just doin' what I gotta do) oh
Acknowledging that she is busy with work and fulfilling her responsibilities while also dealing with personal issues.

See I been goin' on, the shit be goin' on, got to trust me ma
Asserting that she is moving forward with her life despite any challenges she may face, and asking for trust from those around her.

I can't believe I believed everything we had would last
Realizing the naivety in believing that a toxic relationship could last and be healthy.

So young and naive for me to think she was from your past
Admitting that her lack of experience and wisdom led her to overlook red flags in her partner's previous relationships.

Silly of me to dream of one day havin' your kids
Acknowledging that she had unrealistic expectations for the future of the relationship.

Love is so blind it feels right when it's wrong
Recognizing how love can make someone ignore unhealthy behavior from their partner and feel like it is okay when it is not.

I can't believe I fell for your schemes, I'm smarter than that
Realizing that her partner manipulated and deceived her, and recognizing that she has the capability to make better choices.

So dumb and naive to believe that with me you're a changed man
Admitting that she was foolish to think that her love and presence in the relationship could change her partner's negative behavior.

Foolish of me to compete when you cheat with loose women
Acknowledging that she was foolish to engage in a competition for her partner's affection when they were unfaithful with multiple other women.

It took me some time, but now I moved on
Admitting that it took her some time to heal from the trauma of the relationship and move on to a healthier state of mind.

Because I realized I got
Explaining that she has come to an understanding and epiphany about her life and self-worth.

Me, myself, and I, that's all I got in the end
Recognizing that ultimately, she only has herself to rely on and that self-love and appreciation is the key to happiness.

And it ain't no need to cry, I took a vow that from now on
Deciding to make a promise to herself to prioritize her own needs and not let a toxic relationship hold her back.

I'm gon' my own best friend
Expressing her intention to become her own support system and and focus on her own well-being.

You're so controlling, you say that you love me, but you don't
Acknowledging that her partner's behavior is manipulative and not indicative of real love.

Your family told me one day I would see it on my own
Revealing that even her partner's own family recognized that he was not treating her well, and it took her some time to come to the same conclusion.

Next thing I know I'm dealing with your three kids in my home
Revealing that her partner had multiple children from other relationships that she was unexpectedly having to take care of, which caused a lot of stress and difficulties in her life.

Now that it's over, stop calling me, come pick up yo clothes
Asserting that she is done with the toxic relationship and her partner needs to move on, collect his belongings, and leave her alone.

Ain't no need to front like you're still with me, all your homies know
Calling out her partner for pretending like they are still together when all of his friends are aware that they have ended things.

Even your very best friend tried to warn me on the low
Revealing that even her partner's closest friend recognized that he was not treating her well and tried to warn her subtly.

After all the rain, you'll see the sun come out again, yeah
Ending the song on a hopeful note, expressing that even after going through difficult experiences and emotions, brighter days are ahead.

(I got me, myself, and I)
Repeating the chorus to emphasize that self-love and reliance on oneself is the key to happiness.

(I must have cried a thousand times)
Acknowledging that moving on from a toxic relationship is not easy, and involves a lot of emotional pain and sadness.

(So now I'm about to make it through)
Expressing resilience and determination to get through the pain of a toxic relationship and come out stronger.
