1+1 is a third single from latest and 4th studio album of an american superstar Beyonce called 4 which tops at the Billboard chart on its first week of debut. During Beyonce's promotional interview, she had explained the title album why 4 , its because she had gotten 4 albums from her departure to her group Destinys child- and take note all of that four albums debut at number 1 in the US Billboard chart.
The meaning of 1+1, is a song about a person who will do everything just to show all his/her love to a person. Obviously it shows how this person passionate giving love and showing how wonderful life would be if he/she just appreciate that person wholeheartedly. Beyonce's powerful yet emotional voice linger a deep compassion of how truly love can move a mountain. There are lines that metamorphically compare her love to a gun- " I don't know much about fighting but I ve been shot by you.
But the song seems to deliver so much love that eventally feels like an obsession or insanity to a person that she can never ever had. From the last part of the song that goes, Help me let down my guard, make love to me…me..me….me..meee ooh ooh ooh make love to me...me...me...mee...- Its a sad song though.
Above all, the song shows what people really do exactly feel when she/he truly have a life to that person. The word is life insted of love, cause when you felt the love, true love, that time she/he becomes your life and 1+1 will be equal to 2.
Below is the full lyrics.
1+1
If I aint got nothing, I got you
If I aint got something I don't give a damn, cause I got it with you
I don't know much about algebra, but I know one plus one equals two
And it's me and you, thats all we'll have when the world is thru
Cause baby we aint got nothing without love
Darling you got enough for the both of us
So come on baby, make love to me
When my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go.
Make love to me. So that when the worlds at war, that our love heal us all
Right now baby make love to me...me...me...mee...mee. ooh ooh make love to me.
Hey! I don't know much about guns but I...I've been shot by you
Hey! And I don't know when I'm gon die, but I hope that I'm gon die by you
Hey! And I don't know much about fighting, but I, I know I will fight for you
Hey! Just when I ball up my fist I realize that I'm laying right next to you
Baby we aint nothing but love, and darling you got enough for the both of us
Make love to me...when my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go.
Make love to me...so that when the worlds at war, that our love heal us all
Help me let down my guard, make love to me…me..me….me..meee ooh ooh ooh make love to me...me...me...mee...mee.
