Lyrics for Irreplaceable as interpreted by Pryncess33

Irreplaceable Lyrics
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, please don’t touch
And keep talkin’ that mess, that’s fine
But 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, telling 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 fact, he’ll be here in a minute

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 putting you out for?
Because you was untrue, rollin her round in the car that I bought you
Baby, drop them keys
Hurry up before your taxi leaves

Standing in the front yard, telling 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 it, you must not know ‘bout me
I could have another you in a minute,
Matter fact, he’ll be here in a minute

You must not know ‘bout me, you must not know ‘bout me
I will 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 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
So don’t you ever for a second get to thinking you’re irreplaceable

agree with previous comments, it's v.catchy. It's about her throwing out her partner who's cheated on her and saying that he'll be easy to replace.
I really like the 'you must no know bout me' lines

I think some people miss the point of this song...

The main reason why I love this song is because her tone of voice in her singing (especially 'I could have another you in a minute') alludes to the fact that she can't actually get over him easily, but she's trying to convince herself of it. It adds a completely new depth to her otherwise straightforward lyrics.

I don't really like the other songs on her album, but this one shows more vulnerability, which i love. I agree with SE7ENfreak, that she has to convince herself about getting someone else, but we all do that. I love her voice when she says "I can have another you in a minute" :)

In all honesty, I hate most of her other songs. But the melody and some of the lyrics (not the meaning, but their catchiness/something) appeals to me. I like it, it seems very different from her other songs, but I haven't heard her new album (except for the other two singles, both of which I did not like).

The best song off of B'Day, and the beat & acoustic guitars mesh beautifully and perfectly.

Wow. I usually Go more for Death Metal, Electronica, Hardcore rap, or Math rock, I usually dont listen to any R&B made after the mid nineties, but damn! Beyonce sounds really good on this, and looks really good in it aswell :D (Obligatory Hotness Mention)

I laughed at this song when I fist heard it. Not because it was bad, but because of what she was saying. "To the left, to the left. Everything you own in the box to the left" That would be my favorite line. I could see Mad tv using a few of these lines for a skit. he song has a great meaning. Great break up song as well. Except most of us would pobably say "call up that bitch and see if she's home" If you change a few of the words, a man can say it to a girl. Everyone gotta love the song. Well except the person it's being told to.

haha, it's so funny because this song described what situation i was in so much. i was in a relationship with this guy, but he was just too clingy and he was too madly in love with me and we were just too young for that. and i broke up with him, then at this party i went to he was there and my friends and i were hanging out around where he was. and then he had this arm around this girl who was four years older than him and they started making out and then this song was on, and my friends and i went over to his table because our other friends were there, and i kind of felt like i was singing this song to him, and i could tell he knew it too. because he is replacable...and i could have another him in a minute. it was just so weird that this song had come on then.

i NEVER listen to this type of music.
but it's so weird because this IS a good song.
it's just really...meaningful. and confident.

I know exactly how you feel YourOwnDisaster x... I was dating this guy that was waaaay to clingy and waaay too in love with me so I ended it. A week later he was dating one of my friends so I sang this song for the talent show and he knew it was meant for him. This is indeed a very great breakup song. I love the lyrics and her voice!

In my opinion I love this song and the video soo much, though some of my friends think this song is too girly, but I don't care. I really like her singing in this song, such style and lyrics has such catchy parts and meanings. And yeah most of you's got the right meaning for the song. It's about how a guy cheated on her, when he was being with this other chick in her car that she bought for him. She's singing...how easy it is to get another guy in a minute...and telling him to leave(eg the taxi mentioned in this song)...also saying that your not irreplaceable..instead your replaceable....obviously when Beyonce sang this....the guy that was last with her was a dick...I mean..really..how many times does a guy have to cheat on a girl for such obvious and dumb reasons..anyway great song btw. and also I agree, B'Day best song is definitely this, the other two hits were ok, but this has definitely got to be the shit, the video, tone and lyrics were all good. Whereas the other not so much....Anyway my friend had a similar situation about this type of thing....he once went out with a girl out on the bar....he was sooo happy with her....it was sooo devastating when he has just realized this girl went out with another guy..he rang me up and told me all about it..I felt soo sorry for him that day...man...and after we both heard this song..me and him were all like "yep yep..we know what your saying" type of thing lol.

agree with SE7ENfreak.

this song is more than just talking about a cheating boyfriend. she is singing this because she cant really get him, but will have to move on.
