usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never see it coming 'cause you're blinded from the start
Know that you're that one for me, it's clear for everyone to see
Oh baby, ooh (yeah, uh, uh, uh) (you gotta rockaway to this one)
You will always be my boo (come on)
See, I don't know 'bout y'all, but I know about us and, uh (oh)
It's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know 'bout y'all, but I know about us and, uh (oh)
Do you remember, girl?
I was the one who gave you your first kiss
'Cause I remember, girl
I was the one who said, "Put your lips like this"
Even before all the fame and people screaming your name
Girl, I was there when you were my baby
It started when we were younger, you were mine (my boo)
Now another brother's taken over, but it's still in your eyes (my boo)
Even though we used to argue, it's alright (it's alright, girl, that's okay)
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
But you will always be my boo
I was in love with you when we were younger, you were mine (my boo)
And when I see it from time to time, I still feel like (my boo, that's my baby)
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide (I can't hide it, my boo)
And even though there's another man who's in my life
You will always be my boo
Yes, I remember, boy
'Cause after we kissed, I could only think about your lips
Yes, I remember, boy
The moment I knew you were the one I could spend my life with
Even before all the fame and people screaming your name
I was there
And you were my baby
It started when we were younger, you were mine (you were mine, my boo)
Now another brother's taken over, but it's still in your eyes (yes, it is, my boo)
Even though we used to argue, it's alright (it's alright now, it's okay, my boo)
I know we haven't seen each other in a while
But you will always be my boo
I was in love with you when we were younger, you were mine (you were mine, my boo, my boo)
And when I see it from time to time, I still feel like (still in your eyes, my boo)
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide (it's alright now, it's okay, my boo)
And even though there's another man who's in my life
You will always be my (you will always be my)
Oh, my oh, my oh, my oh, my, my boo
My oh, my oh, my oh, my oh, my boo
It started when we were younger, you were mine (you were mine, my boo)
Now another brother's taken over, but it's still in your eyes (my boo)
Even though we used to argue, it's alright (it's alright now, it's okay, my boo)
I know we haven't seen each other in a while (in a while)
But you will always be my boo
I don't know about y'all, but I know about us and, uh
It's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know about y'all, but I know about us and, uh
It's the only way we know how to rock (yeah)
It started when we were younger
My boo
'Nother brother's taken over
Just stand
The song "My Boo" by Usher is about a timeless love that he shares with a special person. He describes that there is always that one person who will always have your heart, and you never see it coming because you are blinded from the start. He knows that this person is the one for him, and everyone can see it. Even though they used to argue, it is alright; he remembers that they were there for each other before the fame and the other people screaming their names. Usher reminisces about the time when they were younger and together, and no matter how much they try to hide, he still feels like she will always be his boo. Even though there is another man in her life, she will always hold a special place in his heart.
The theme of "My Boo" is about a relationship that began when the two were young, and even though they argue at times, they maintain their love for one another. It is a song about a pure and innocent love that stands the test of time, and the feeling that even though they do not see each other much anymore, she will always be his. Usher and his boo are still very much in love and still know how to rock, even if there are new people in their lives.
