Questions about "Single Ladies"

Could I ask what the underlined words below mean?

Thank you in advance.

All the single ladies (all the single ladies)

All the single ladies (all the single ladies)

All the single ladies (all the single ladies)

All the single ladies, now put your hands up

Up in the club (club) We just broke up (Up)

I'm doing my own lil' thing

You decided to dip (dip)

And now you wanna trip (trip)

Cause another brother noticed me

I'm up on him (him)

He up on meEmotion: it wasnt me

Don't pay him any attention

'Cause I've cried my tears (tears) For three good years (years) You can't be mad at me

"Up in the club" = In the club "I'm up on him" = I'm all over him "He up on me" = He's all over me. If you take a look at the context it is used in, you can see she's referring to the new guy she's met at the club after her boyfriend broke up with her. It makes sense...

Thank you, Jamie Hetfield.

But please excuse me for my poor English.

Would you please tell me what "be all over" means?

Thank you again.
