Irreplaceable by Beyoncé

Artist: Beyoncé

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:47

“Irreplaceable” is the ultimate kiss-off song and ultimately Beyoncé at her peak. The lyrics were originally written by Ne-Yo from a male perspective, but later changed when Beyoncé came on board. In it, she destroys some guy’s attempted manipulations of her. While she’s the irreplaceable Queen B, he’s just another disposable guy who she can replace in about 60 seconds, and she doesn’t take his crap about her.

Irreplaceable lyrics

To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left (Mmh)
To the left, to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet, that's my stuff
Yes, if I bought it, please don't touch (Don't touch)
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
Could you walk and talk at the same time?
And, it's my name that's on that Jag'
So remove your bags, let me call you a cab
Standing in the front yard
Tellin' me how I'm such a fool
Talkin' 'bout, how I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking
You're irreplaceable
So go ahead and get gone
Call up that chick and see if she's home
Oops, I bet you thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was puttin' you out for?
Because you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Baby, drop them keys
Hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard
Tellin' me how I'm such a fool
Talking 'bout how I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I'll have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking
You're irreplaceable (Irreplaceable)
So since I'm not your everything
How about I'll be nothing?
Nothing at all to you
Baby, I won't shed a tear for you
I won't lose a wink of sleep
'Cause the truth of the matter is
Replacing you was so easy
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left (Mmh)
To the left, to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
To the left, to the left
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking
You're irreplaceable
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking (Baby)
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter of fact, he'll be here in a minute
You could pack all you things, we're finished (You must not know 'bout me)
'Cause you made your bed, now lay in it (You must not know 'bout me)
I can have another you by tomorrow
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking
You're irreplaceable
