BEYONCÉ

Countdown

VERSE 1

Boooooooyyyyyyyy!

Oh, killin' me softly and I'm still fallin'

Still the one I need, I will always be

with you

Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let

me go

Say it real loud if you fly

If you leave me you're out of your

mind

This clearly shows that Beyoncé is deeply in love with a boy.

The first verse of the song is a reference to love.

This implies that Beyoncé wants to keep hold of her lover and she don’t want him to let her go.

CHORUS

My baby is a 10

We dressing to the 9

He pick me up, with 8

Make me feel so lucky 7

He kiss me in his 6

We be making love in 5

Still the one I do this 4

I'm trying to make us 3

From that 2

He still the 1

This part of the chorus shows that Beyoncé is ready to start a family.

The chorus takes up meaning of the title of the song which is countdown, and this shows Beyoncé describing to us what she thinks of her boy.

VERSE 2

There's ups and downs in this love

Got a lot to learn in this love

Through the good and the bad, still got love

Dedicated to the one I love, hey

Still love the way he talk, still love the way I sing

Still love the way he rock them black diamonds in

that chain

Still all up on each other, ain't a damn thing change

My girls can't tell me nothing, I'm gone in the brain

I'm all up under him like it's cold, wintertime

All up in the kitchen in my heels, dinnertime

This tells us that not all relationships are perfect since that have ups and downs, but at the end of the day they will still be together.

This shows us that they have been together for ages but they still have that spark for each other, like a new couple.

VERSE 3

Do whatever that it takes, he got a winner's mind

Give it all to him, meet him at the finish line

Me and my boo in my boo coup ridin'

All up in that black with his chick right beside him

Ladies, if you love your man show him you the fliest

Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it

Me and my boo in my boo boo ridin'

All up in that black with his chick right beside him

Ladies, if you love your man show him you the fliest

Grind up on it, girl, show him how you ride it

In this part of verse 3 it clearly shows us how much Beyoncé loves her ‘boo’. This is showing us how

much Beyoncé appreciate her partner, and will always be with him no matter what.

VERSE 4

Oh, killin' me softly and I'm still fallin'

Still the one I need, I will always be

with you

Oh, you got me all gone, don't ever let

me go

Say it real loud if you fly

If you leave me you out of yo' mind

This emphasis how Beyoncé is still head over heels with her partner and this shows that she will always be with her partner.

This shows us that Beyoncé want to be close to her partner and he shouldn’t let her go at all.
