Drunk in Love Lyrics
I've been drinking, I've been drinking
I get filthy when that liquor get into me
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
Why can't I keep my fingers off it, baby?
I want you, na na
Why can't I keep my fingers off you, baby?
I want you, na na
Cigars on ice, cigars on ice
Feeling like an animal with these cameras all in my grill
Flashing lights, flashing lights
You got me faded, faded, faded, baby
I want you, na na
Can't keep your eyes off my fatty daddy,
I want you, na na
Drunk in love, I want you
We woke up in the kitchen saying
"How the hell did this shit happen?", oh baby
Drunk in love
We be all night
Last thing I remember is our
Beautiful bodies grinding off in that club
Drunk in love
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, and everything alright
No complaints for my body, so fluorescent under these lights
Boy, I'm drinking
walking in my l'assemblage
I'm rubbing on it, rub-rubbing
If you scared, call that reverend
Boy, I'm drinking, get my brain right
Armand de Brignac, gangster wife
New sheets, he sweat it out like washed rags, he wet it up
Boy, I'm drinking
I'm singing on the mic 'til my voice hoarse
Then I fill the tub up halfway then ride it with my surfboard
Surfboard, surfboard
Graining on that wood, graining, graining on that wood
I'm swerving on that, swerving, swerving on that big body Benz
Serving all this, swerve, surfing all of this good good
We woke up in the kitchen saying
"How the hell did this shit happen?", oh baby
Drunk in love
We be all night
Last thing I remember is our
Beautiful bodies grinding off in that club
Drunk in love
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love
Hold up
That D'USSÉ is the shit if I do say so myself
If I do say so myself, if I do say so myself
Hold up, stumble all in the house tryna backup all that mouth
That you had all in the car, talking 'bout you the baddest bitch thus far
Talking 'bout you be repping that 3rd, wanna see all that shit that I heard
Know I sling Clint Eastwood, hope you can handle this curve, uh
Foreplay in a foyer, fucked up my Warhol
Slid the panties right to the side
Ain't got the time to take drawers off
On sight
Catch a charge I might, beat the box up like Mike
In '97 I bite, I'm Ike Turner, turn up
Baby know I don't play, now eat the cake, Annie Mae
Said, "Eat the cake, Annie Mae!"
I'm nauseous, for y'all to reach these heights you gon' need G3
4, 5, 6 flights, sleep tight
We sex again in the morning, your breasteses is my breakfast
We going in
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love
Never tired, never tired
I been sippin', that's the only thing
That's keeping me on fire, me on fire
Didn't mean to spill that liquor all on my attire
I've been drinking, watermelon
(I want your body right here, daddy, I want you, right now)
Can't keep your eyes off my fatty daddy,
I want you
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love
Meaning of Drunk in Love
“Drunk in Love” is a decadent and unapologetically hedonistic exploration of impulsive desire and the intoxicating blur between reality and fantasy, expertly crafted by Beyoncé. The core theme revolves around a reckless, all-consuming love fueled by alcohol – specifically Armand de Brignac champagne (referred to as “gangster wife”) and D’USSÉ – that spirals into a night of unrestrained physical intimacy. The lyrics depict a scenario where boundaries dissolve, logic abandons ship, and the narrator is utterly lost in the moment, driven by an irresistible urge for connection and sensation. The repeated phrase "I want you" isn't merely a declaration of affection but a desperate plea to surrender to this overwhelming feeling, underscored by vivid imagery – cigars on ice, flashing lights, grinding bodies, surfing on a bathtub – creating a sensory overload that mirrors the protagonist’s state of mind.
Beyoncé doesn't shy away from the messy, almost embarrassing vulnerability of succumbing to temptation; the bewildered “How the hell did this shit happen?” encapsulates the disorientation and shock of realizing one has acted without conscious control. The song isn’t just about a single night of excess; it’s an examination of the primal urges that drive human connection, framed within a luxurious, almost absurd context. The references to high-end brands elevate the experience while simultaneously highlighting its extravagance and potential for self-indulgence. Ultimately, “Drunk in Love” is Beyoncé's assertive assertion of her sexuality and desire, delivered with infectious energy and a playful acknowledgement of the beautiful chaos that can arise when love – or perhaps just lust – takes over.
