I’m all for hit songs but when you send a message that causes people to make stupid decisions then someone has got to say something.
Irreplaceable, a hit song played on all the radio stations across the city happened to catch my ear as I was showering. It wasn’t my first time hearing the song however it was the first time I actually listened to it (if you don’t know the difference between hearing and listening then please read no further). Here are the lyrics which make no sense:
You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
matter fact he’ll be here in a minute - baby
Ladies, this is why you always end up miserable. You keep repeating the same mistakes. Let’s break the lyrics down (for the full song click here). You kick dude out cause he is cheating on you with some chick. You replace him with someone else that is going to do the same thing (I could have another you in a minute, matter of fact he’ll be here in a minute). Not only did you waste no time finding the next man, you got the same type of man you just kicked out.
Woman who put out replaceable energy deserve replaceable energy.

I think your reading into it too much.
“You must not know about me
You must not know about me”
Is referring to how hot she is and that she can get any man she wants - which in Beyonce’s case is true.
“I could have another you in a minute
Matter of fact he’ll be here in a minute - baby”
Means that she can have another man, it might not be the exact same one she has, but its still another man…
The song is hot, catchy and it doesn’t have to make sense, unless you’re an English teacher and anal about grammar.
It isn’t about the grammer. It is about the repeated mistakes woman make in terms or relationships. Which was the objective of the post.
I appreciate the comments though.
I’m kinda thinking your previous entry, about relationships being more trouble than they’re worth, gives the lie to your assertion that repeated mistakes are something only women make.
I see nothing wrong, though, with analysing lyrics for their (sometimes hidden) ironies. Good call!
Lavenderbay: I don’t believe that only woman make mistakes. I’m aware we are all human and capable of making the same mistakes as woman. It’s an observation of the song itself. I’ve also taken into consideration that the song was written by Neo, a man.
Thank you for stopping through. I appreciate the comment.
