About This Track

'Blow' arrives midway through Beyoncé's 2013 self-titled album as a deliberate throwback, written and produced by Beyoncé and Pharrell Williams with additional contributions from Timbaland, J-Roc, James Fauntleroy, and Justin Timberlake. The track channels the slinking R&B-funk hybrids of Prince and Janet Jackson, moving carefully between rhythm and hip-hop textures with a seventies-eighties sheen.

The lyrical content is explicit and unapologetic, framed around oral sex with candy-coated metaphor and direct instruction. Beyoncé adopts a playful, commanding tone, the interlude marking the song as territory for 'all my grown women out there'. The production keeps pace with the subject matter, refusing to soften the edges or retreat into innuendo where the lyrics state their case plainly.

"Blow" is a track by Beyoncé, from the album BEYONCÉ, released 13th December 2013. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 17 articles about Beyoncé.

Lyrics

Blow

[Intro]

I love your face

You love the taste

That sugar, babe

It melts away, mmm

[Verse 1]

I kiss you and you lick your lips (I kiss you and you lick your lips)

You like it wet and so do I (You like it wet and so do I)

I know you never waste a drip (I know you never waste a drip)

I wonder how it feels sometimes

Must be good to you

[Pre-Chorus]

(Keep me comin', keep me goin')

Keep me comin', keep me goin'

(Keep me hummin', keep me moanin')

Keep me hummin', keep me moanin'

(Don't stop lovin' 'til the mornin')

Don't stop lovin' 'til the mornin'

(Don't stop screamin', freakin', blowin')

Blow, oh

[Chorus]

Can you eat my Skittles? It's the sweetest in the middle, yeah (Yeah)

Pink is the flavor, solve the riddle, yeah (Yeah)

I'ma lean back, don't worry, it's nothin' major

Make sure you clean that, it's the only way to get the flavor

[Verse 2]

When you're thirsty and need love, I'll give it up 'til I'm empty, babe

Must be good to you

If you're lonely in your bed, I'll fill it up to the top, babe

Must be good to you

[Pre-Chorus]

(Keep me comin', keep me goin')

Keep me comin', keep me goin'

(Keep me hummin', keep me moanin')

Keep me hummin', keep me moanin'

(Don't stop lovin' 'til the mornin')

Don't stop lovin' 'til the mornin'

(Don't stop screamin', freakin', blowin')

Blow, oh

[Chorus]

Can you eat my Skittles? It's the sweetest in the middle, yeah (Yeah)

Pink is the flavor, solve the riddle (Yeah)

I'ma lean back, don't worry, it's nothing major

Make sure you clean that, it's the only way to get the flavor

[Interlude]

I'm about to get into this, girls

This for all my grown women out there

[Bridge]

I can't wait 'til I get home so you can tear that cherry out

(Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

I can't wait 'til I get home so you can tear that cherry out

(Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

I want you to (Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

I want you to (Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

I want you to (Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

I want you to (Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

[Verse 3]

Ooh, I had a naughty thought today, baby

Every time I close my eyes

Ooh, get a glimpse of this candy paint

Don't slip off when it drip off on top of your ride

When you see it here, lift it up, then toss it, babe

I know everything you want

I'ma show you how I stroke (Stroke it)

Bring your work home on top of me

I'ma let you be the, be the boss of me (Boss)

I know everything you want

Give me that daddy long stroke

[Bridge]

I can't wait 'til I get home so you can tear that cherry out

(Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

I can't wait 'til I get home so you can tear that cherry out

(Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

I want you to (Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

I want you to (Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out)

[Break]

Je ne sais quoi

Cherie, m vle w

Awsè a se nèt al kole

Blow, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

(Keep me comin', keep me goin')

Keep me comin', keep me goin'

(Keep me hummin', keep me moanin')

Keep me hummin', keep me moanin'

(Don't stop lovin' 'til the mornin')

Don't stop lovin' 'til the mornin'

(Don't stop screamin', freakin', blowin')

Blow, oh

[Chorus]

Can you eat my Skittles? It's the sweetest in the middle, yeah (Yeah)

Pink is the flavor, solve the riddle, yeah (Yeah)
