Knowles, Solange - Borderline (An Ode To Self Care) Lyrics






We been lovers on a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
But what's love without a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission

You know I have the world to think
And I know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing that I want
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline

So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go
Take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby I know you're tired
Know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby it's war outside these walls
Baby it's war outside these doors, yeah
It's a safe place tonight
Let's play it safe tonight
Baby I know what you're fighting for
Baby you know what I'm fighting for

You know I have the world to think
And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing I want
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline

So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go, oh
Take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby I know you're tired
You know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby I've been more than a woman
We've been lovers on a mission
It's a safe place tonight
Let's play it safe tonight
Baby we've been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission

    this is so inspiring. the deftness of production. the vocalizing. the nod to 70s fusion. the post-90s downtempo. makes me see sultry colors in my heart and moistens my eyes and ears. truly, an inspiring artist

  6. M.... N....

  7. N.... H....

    This song should be at least 5 minutes

    So let's take an intermission

    You know I have the world to think about
    And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
    Because the last thing that I wanna do

    I would LOVE to hear the demo to this track! What a beauty. I know Tip's productions always have such an interesting story behind them, the samples used, the perfect moment looped, the touches from the parts he plays with instruments to add texture. The music is just so sublime.

  17. T.... R....

    "Lemonade" comments: "this makes me wanna dump a boyfriend that I don't even have!"
    "A seat at the table" comments : "this makes me feel happy to be black even if I'm not!"

  35. T.... E....

    Yes Q-tip produced and wrote this song 🎤🎧🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 and salange killed it🙏🏿

  36. B.... G....

    Video concept: Her and her guy are in the house hanging out. Dancing, playing games...and you can see through the curtains what looks like fireworks but is an all out warzone and riots in the neighborhood. From time to time they glance at each other with concern but keep hanging out. Then at the end they stop, open the door, grab hands, look at each other and go to war. Lovers on a mission, after their intermission.

    B.... G....

    Belinda G beautiful, I can see everything.

  37. d.... r....

  68. i.... ....

    To every one saying this reminds you of Aaliyah, it's Solange's way of paying homage. In the last part of the chorus before the song ends Solange says: "Baby I've been more than a woman, we've been lovers on a mission" using the same harmonies from More Than A Woman. She spoke about this in an interview on this song. 🙏😇

  69. S.... D....

    This woman is something else I love this song. I know you tired no I'm tired.

  70. C.... o....
