Today's song is from Beyonce's most recent album, 4, and for some reason it's been playing in my head over and over for the past day or so. I just don't understand how things work in life and love sometimes, and when I'm feeling this way, a song like this helps me to think about things in a calm, collected way. I said once in a piece about this album that "1+1 is a tender and beautiful love song, with little else than a soft, electric guitar allowing Beyonce to showcase her powerful pipes," and I still believe this. Oh, and I love the lyrics, too! Enjoy!
1+1
If I ain't got nothing
I got you
If I ain't 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
That's all we'll have when the world is through ('cause baby)
We ain't 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 when the world's at war
Let our love will heal us all (right now baby)
Make love to me (me, me, me, me) oh, oh
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)
And just when I ball up my fist I realize
I'm laying right next to you baby
We ain't got 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 when the world's at war
Let our love will heal us all (help me let down my guard)
Make love to me (me, me, me, me) oh, oh
Make love to me (me, me, me, me)
I got you
If I ain't 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
That's all we'll have when the world is through ('cause baby)
We ain't 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 when the world's at war
Let our love will heal us all (right now baby)
Make love to me (me, me, me, me) oh, oh
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)
And just when I ball up my fist I realize
I'm laying right next to you baby
We ain't got nothing but love
And darling you got enough for the both of us
Make love to me

Make love to me
So when the world's at war
Let our love will heal us all (help me let down my guard)
Make love to me (me, me, me, me) oh, oh
Make love to me (me, me, me, me)
