Bonnie & Clyde
beyoncé ft. jay-z Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, uh, uh
You ready, B?
Let's go get 'em

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)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)
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
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

All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)
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)

(Talk to 'em, B) if I was your girlfriend
I'll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
Even if that somebody was me (that's right)
Yeah-hee (break it down for 'em, B)
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
My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend (one more time)
Put this on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
I promise I'll give my life
My love and my trust if you was my boyfriend

All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend) (that's right)




All I need in this life of sin is me and my girlfriend (me and my girlfriend)
Down to ride 'til the very end, is me and my boyfriend (me and my boyfriend)

Look for me! Young, be
Search for me, I'm young and free


Cruisin down the westside - high, way
Driving on the highway on the west side, feeling high


Doing what we like to do - our, way
We live life on our own terms, doing what makes us happy


Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
Wearing sunglasses to look cool, and this necklace is the reason why all my dates have been blind dates


All of my dates been blind dates
All of my dates have been arranged through other people and I haven't seen them before


But today, I got my thoroughest girl wit me
Today I have my most loyal girl with me


I´m mashin the gas, she´s grabbin the wheel, it´s true to the heart
I'm driving fast and my girl is grabbing the wheel, we're living life on the edge with our hearts in it


She rides with me - the new Bobby and Whitney
She's my ride or die, like Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston


Only time we don´t speak is during "Sex and the City"
The only time we don't talk to each other is when we're watching the show "Sex and the City" together


She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show is over
She becomes excited while watching "Sex and the City", but as soon as the show is over, she's back to being my loyal partner


She´s right back to being my soldier
She's back to being my loyal partner


'Cause mami´s a rider, and I´m a roller
She's a loyal partner, and I take risks and make things happen


Put us together, how they gon´ stop both us?
If we're together, who can stop us?


What ever she lacks, I´m right over her shoulder
If she's missing something, I am always there to support and help her


When I´m off track mami is keepin me focused
When I lose focus, my partner keeps me on the right path


So let´s, lock this down like it´s supposed to be
Let's commit to each other and make this relationship official


The ´03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hov´ and be
We are the modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, Hov (Jay-Z) and B (Beyonce)

All I need in this sinful life is my loyal partner


[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
We will be together until the end, me and my partner


The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin
The issue is that you treat the one you love the same way you treat the one you have casual sex with


With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin
You treat the person you love and have casual sex with the same way


Now they ´bout nothin - if ever you mad about somethin
Now they don't mean anything to you, even if you're angry about something


It won´t be that; oh no it won´t be that
It won't be like that


I don´t be at, places where we comfy at
I don't go to places where we usually feel comfortable


With no be-atch; oh no you won´t see that
Without other women bothering us, that won't happen


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 loyal partner, work with me


I keep you workin´ at Hermes, Birkin bag
I keep you working for high-end luxury brands like Hermes and Birkin


Manolo Blahnik, Timbs, aviator lens
I get you expensive fashion items like Manolo Blahnik shoes, Timberland boots, and aviator sunglasses


600 drops, Mercedes Benz
I buy you a Mercedes-Benz convertible worth $600,000


The only time you wear Burberry to swim
The only time you wear Burberry clothing is when you go swimming


And I don´t have to worry, only worry is him
I don't have to worry about anything, except about him


She do anything necessary for him
She will do anything to support and help him


And I do anything necessary for her
I will do anything to support and help her


So don´t let the necessary occur, yep!
Don't let anything bad happen to us, okay?


Talk to ´em B
Speak to them, B (Beyonce)


If I was your girlfriend
If I were your girlfriend


I´ll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
I'll be there for you if anyone hurts you


Even if it´s somebody was me
Even if I was the one who hurt you


Yeah-hee (break it down for ´em)
Yes, break it down for them


Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
Sometimes I imagine how happy we could be


And so I put this on my life
So I swear on my life


Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
Nothing and no one will ever break us apart


And I promise I´ll give my life
I promise I'll sacrifice my life for you


And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
I'll give you all of my trust if you were my boyfriend


The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
You are the air that I breathe and the only thing that I believe in


[Chorus]
Refrain
