As opposed to the industrial, electronic influences found throughout Yeezus, this warm soulful track sees Kanye “Bound 2” his former partner, Kim Kardashian. Reminiscent of West’s earlier work, the soul instrumental and background vocals are sampled from the Ponderosa Twins Plus One’s 1971 song “Bound,” whereas the memorable ‘uh-huh, honey’ comes from the intro to Brenda Lee’s 1959 record “Sweet Nothin’s.”
Kanye first shared a short snippet of this song on his website together with the album cover casing for "Yeezus". Read more on Last.fm.

[Intro: Ponderosa Twins Plus One & Brenda Lee]
B-b-b-b-bound to fall in love
Bound to fall in love
Uh-huh, honey
[Chorus: Kanye West, Ponderosa Twins Plus One & Brenda Lee]
All them other niggas lame, and you know it now
When a real nigga hold you down, you supposed to drown
(Bound to fall in love)
Bound
(B-b-b-b-bound to fall in love)
Bound
Uh-huh, honey
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
What you doin' in the club on a Thursday?
She say she only here for her girl birthday
They ordered champagne but still look thirsty
Rock Forever 21, but just turned thirty
I know I got a bad reputation
Walk-around-always-mad reputation
Leave-a-pretty-girl-sad reputation
Start a Fight Club, Brad reputation
I turnt the nightclub out of the basement
I'll turn the plane around, your ass keep complainin'
How you gon' be mad on vacation?
Dutty wining 'round all these Jamaicans
Uh, this that prom shit
This that what-we-do-don't-tell-your-mom shit
This that red-cup-all-on-the-lawn shit
Got a fresh cut, straight out the salon, bitch
[Bridge: Charlie Wilson & Brenda Lee]
I know you're tired of lovin', of lovin' (Ooh)
With nobody to love, nobody, no—
Uh-huh, honey
[Chorus: Kanye West, Ponderosa Twins Plus One & Brenda Lee]
Close your eyes and let the word paint a thousand pictures
One good girl is worth a thousand bitches
(Bound to fall in love)
Bound
(Bound to fall in love)
Bound
Uh-huh, honey
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
I wanna fuck you hard on the sink
After that, give you somethin' to drink
Step back, can't get spunk on the mink
I mean damn, what would Jeromey Romey Romey Rome think?
Hey, you remember where we first met?
Okay, I don't remember where we first met
But hey, admittin' is the first step
And hey, you know ain't nobody perfect
And I know, with the hoes I got the worst rep
But hey, their backstroke I'm tryna perfect
And hey, ayo, we made it; Thanksgivin'
So hey, maybe we can make it to Christmas
She asked me what I wished for on my wishlist
Have you ever asked your bitch for other bitches?
Maybe we could still make it to the church steps
But first, you gon' remember how to forget
After all these long-ass verses
I'm tired, you tired, Jesus wept
[Bridge: Charlie Wilson & Brenda Lee]
I know you're tired (Tired) of lovin', of lovin' (Ooh)
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody
So just grab somebody, no leavin' this party (Woo)
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody
Ooh
Uh-huh, honey
[Chorus: Kanye West, Ponderosa Twins Plus One & Brenda Lee]
Jerome's in the house, watch your mouth
Jerome's in the house, watch your mouth
(Bound to fall in love)
Bound
(Bound to fall in love)
Bound
Uh-huh, honey
