Irreplaceable

To the left
To the left
To the left
To the left
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 nigga please don't touch
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time
And It's my mine name that is on that Jag
So remove your bags let me call you a cab

Standing in the front yard telling me
How I'm such a fool - Talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

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

You must not know about me
You must not know about 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
And call up on that chick and see if she is home
Oops, I bet ya thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for?
Cause you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Baby you dropped them keys hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I am such a fool - Talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

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

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I will have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable

So since I’m not your everything
How about I'll be nothing
Nothing at all to you
Baby I wont shead a tear for you
I won't lose a wink of sleep
Cause the truth of the matter is
Replacing you is so easy

To the left
To the left
To the left
To the left
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 about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
matter fact he'll be be here in a minute - baby

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable

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 be here in a minute - baby

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable

- Beyonce, Irreplaceable

Whoa! Ang taray!

I've been hearing the line "to the left, to the left" in the office, as it is the message alert tone of my officemate. It was only this morning while I was tuned in to RX 93.1 when I found out that it was actually the song which I like and its title was "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce Knowles. I like the beat but I couldn't get the entire lyrics listening to it so I googled the lyrics just now.

Makes me think, and allow me to indulge in speculation, that while it is true that one can always find another love, it would take a while to accept that someone is dispensable - that you can live without that person. But then again, each one of us is unique and the love we give is likewise distinct, so in a sense, a person can really be irreplaceable - the way he irritates you, the way he rubs you the wrong way, the way you wail when he ignores you, the way your heart skips a beat when he smiles and looks at you, the way his face flashes in your head just whenever, the way he makes you feel...

I might just grab a copy of the Beyonce's CD tomorrow.
