Countdown Lyrics

Boy...

Oh! Killing me softly, and I'm still fallin';
Still the one I need - I will always be with you...
Whoa! 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 your mind!"

My baby is a (10);
We dressin' to the (9),
He pick me up, we (8);
Make me feel so lucky (7)...
He kiss me in his (6)
We be makin' love in (5)
Still the one I do this (4)
I'm tryna make a (3) from the (2);
Still the one.

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...

I still love the way he talk, he still the way I sing;
Still the way he rock them black diamonds in that chain...
Still hot up on each other, ain't a damn thing changed;
My girls can't tell me nothin' - 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...
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 coupe, ridin';
All up in that black, with his chick right beside him...
Ladies, if you love yo' man, show him you the flyest;
Grind up on him, girl, show him how you ride it...

Me and my boo, in my boo coupe, ridin';
All up in that black, with his chick right beside him...
Ladies, if you love yo' man, show him you the flyest;
Grind up on him, girl, show him how you ride it...

Oh! Killing me softly, and I'm still fallin';
Still the one I need - I will always be with you...
Whoa! 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 your mind!"

My baby is a (10);
We dressin' to the (9),
He pick me up, we (8);
Make me feel so lucky (7)...
He kiss me in his (6)
We be makin' love in (5)
Still the one I do this (4)
I'm tryna make a (3) from the (2);
Still the one.

If I put it on him, it ain't nothin' that I can't do;
Yep, I buy my own - if he deserve it, buy his shit too...
All up in the sto' - Shawty trickin' if I want to;
All up in the sto' - Shawty, fly as we want to...

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...)
Damn, I think I love that boy - do anything for that boy;
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...) Boy...
Now I'll never be the same - it's you and me until the end....

Me and my boo, in my boo coupe, ridin';
All up in that black, with his chick right beside him...
Ladies, if you love yo' man, show him you the flyest;
Grind up on him, girl, show him how you ride it...

Me and my boo, and my boo lip-lockin';
All up in the back, cause the chicks keep blockin'!
All that gossipin' - 10 years, stop it!
London, speed it up - Houston, rock it!

Oh! Killing me softly, and I'm still fallin';
Still the one I need - I will always be with you...
Whoa! 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 your mind!"

My baby is a (10);
We dressin' to the (9),
He pick me up, we (8);
Make me feel so lucky (7)...
He kiss me in his (6)
We be makin' love in (5)
Still the one I do this (4)
I'm tryna make a (3) from the (2);
Still the one.

So I just heard this song for the first time a few hours ago and thought it was completely stupid, but it really grew on me after i read the lyrics so I like it now, lol. Either way, I was reading the chorus where it says "I'm tryna make a (3) from the (2)" and at first I just though it was a filler line, like the line from the "doe, a deer" song that says "la, a note to follow so", but it just dawned on me that maybe she meant she was trying to make a (3) from the (2), like make the two of them become three, like have a baby! ...Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but that's just what I thought.

My Interpretation

As soon as i heard it thats what i thought too. preparing the world for her belly. she says i'm tryna make us three from the two. which makes more sense. i wish it said he pick me up at 8 instead of he pick me up we ate.. it makes more sense. and i wish there were more songs like this and end of time. such a slow album. its ok i guess.

No, its not a filler. She announced at the VMAs that she is pregnant, so that's what it means!(:

Also, note that the first few times she says it in the music video, she rubs her belly.

I really like the chorus idea with that countdown! The only one I'm confused about is 'he kiss me in his 6' .... does any one know what that means?

like a 645 BMW

in my boo's coupe ridin' :)

'6' is from the BMW edition. So shes basically saying 'he kiss me in his car'.

Nope, not a BMW. Its talking about the 600 series of the Benz, Jay Z always talks about it in his songs.

^I thought maybe it's sposed to sound like "seat" (which is still stretching). Maybe it's sposed to mean "he kiss me in his sex"?

Does anyone know what we dressin' to the (9) is supposed to mean?

it means that they dress smartly or flamboyantly

As for what dressed to the nine means... http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/dressed-to-the-nines.html

And I imagine the kissed me in his 6 is a reference to a car. Probably a BMW 6 series.

imo i think she says me and my boo in my bu (bugatti) liplockin cuz why would she say and my boo twice?

Lyric Correction

yeah, that does make sense.

Repetition is one of many lyrical stylings in music, and has been for quite some while.

Outkast: "Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it like a polaroid picture." Dusty Springfield: "Come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, take another little piece of my heart now baby." Leona Lewis: "Keep bleedin', keep, keep bleedin' love." Britney Spears: "Gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme more." Alicia Keys: "No one, no one, no one can get in the way of what I'm feeling." Rihanna: "Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh."...

what does the phrase "Say it real loud if you fly" mean? and what does the "boo" mean? I'm not a native speaker so don't mind of my questions sound a little silly!

She means say it real loud if YOU'RE fly. The "you" is just slang. And she's saying it in reference to the following phrase. Like "Say THIS real loud if you're fly: 'If you leave me you're out of your mind!'" Boo is just a term people often use as a pet name for their significant others, like baby, honey, etc.
