"I could have another you

In a minute

Matter fact

He'll be here in a minute"

--Beyonce's 'Irreplaceable'

Good rhyme and also good dating strategy -- dumping someone and then choosing a guy just like the guy you dumped. --John Schleef, Cedar Falls, Iowa

THANK YOU! I'm not the only one who realized what she was saying in this line. She's pretty much saying that she can get another guy like the one she dumped. What stupidity, wanting a guy with the same personality as the last.

Another overplayed song I made up words to

I wish I didn't know about you

Ne-Yo may have written it, but Beyonce chose to cover it! BTW, A minute has to be the shortest rebound time ever! I agree very dumb lyrics. And I like Beyonce!

Thank you Gia for clearing that up b4 the dumfucks took up too much page space - lol! And if you're not at all familiar with current black venacular that would explain you failing to get the "to the left" comment. And this can't have made the top list for dumb lyrics - she's saying you're so replaceable that I could have someone just like you here in a minute - and he's on his way now so that's not just a theory.

OMG! What the heck is wrong with you. It just shows that she could have another guy that she loves just like that, and better than the one that she dumped. Apparently you've never gone out with anyone or know anything about love if that's what you think. Maybe you should go to a book store and pick up some stuff about how to get girl

Hey Now!!!!

OH PLEASE!!! Everybody hating on Beyonce and this song knows good and well that when this first hit the radio you were all singing "To the left, to the left" so stop hating and recognize a good song and a good hook when you hear it. It made money and regarless to the small detail of some of the lyrics it was an incredible song and she made mad money off of it.... And we all know that Bey is one of the best female singers of our time and a great performer regardless to how her weak looks or not....please dont hate when there's nothing really relavant to hate on.....And to whoever it was that said Beyonce copies off of Ciara PLEASE that chick wish she Bey and she definatly cant sing a lick let alone be better than Bey.....

-I'm a dedicated Beyonce fan cant help but to defend her....sorry
