(feat. P. Diddy)
[P. Diddy - talking]
Yeah
There’s three things I like about the summertime
Drop tops, long hot nights and summer love
Yeah
Hey yo, B
Tell ‘em what time it is
Let’ s go
[Beyonce]
Out of all the guys that approached me
Walking up to me like they know me
You were the one that stayed aside
Waited a while and took your time
You don’t know how impressing
Your curiousity was to me
It was the fourth day of July
Looked in my eyes and saw that I
[Break - Beyonce]
I wanted more than just a man (man)
I needed a friend (I want a friend)
Someone I can talk to (oh)
Someone who’ll really listen (yeah)
When you touched my hand (yeah yeah)
The sun got brighter then (brighter then)
Trusting you I closed my eyes
And felt our love begin
[Chorus - Beyonce]
It was the summertime (when we fell in love)
It was the summertime (when heaven shined on us)
It was the summertime (baby there is nothing like the)
Summertime, summertime (ohh)
[Beyonce]
Now it’s been a year and we’re closer
Fall in love again when I hold ya
I know that God set you aside
For me and now you are my prize
Wanna grow old with ya
Fill a house with ya pictures
Have a son for you, a little girl for me
Together we’ll raise a family
[Break - Beyonce]
I wanted more then just a man
I needed a friend
You are my best friend (yeah)
Someone I could talk to
Someone who’ll really listen (yeah)
When you touched my hand (yeah)
The sun got brighter then (brighter then)
Trusting you I closed my eyes
and felt our love begin
[Chorus]
[P. Diddy]
Yo let me holla at you for a sec
So what’s in gonna be, him or me? (yeah)
We can cruise the world for pearls
And bare boots for girls
Summertime in the linen, fresh fruit
Livin the life that’s forbidden for just you (let’s go)
No worries you ain’t gotta be stressed out
No hurries you ain’t gotta be rushed out
Sit back relax ma take your time
Now have a taste of the finest wine
Every minute that we have’s a blessing to me
And in your heart you’s a “Child of Destiny” (that’s right)
Them hot summers that we had especially
Love who you is girl, you bring out the best of me
And it’s like that, you know it’s like that (that’s right)
And that’s your plan, where’s your hand let me ice that
You my heart ain’t no chance you could fight that
The summertime, when you hot baby take that, take that
Yeah..
[Chorus]
I cannot find a way to describe it
It’s there inside; all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do, if you knew
What would you do
[Chorus:]
All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can’t handle this confusion
I’m unable; come and take me away
I feel like I am all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold, I don’t want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don’t think you’d understand
Cause no one understands
[Chorus]
I’m going nowhere (on and on and)
I’m getting nowhere (on and on and on)
Take me away
I’m going nowhere (on and off and off and on)
(and off and on)
[Chorus]
Take me away
Break me away
Take me away
[European and Deluxe Edition Bonus Track]
Rock
(Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock)
Rock
(Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock)
Rockin’ headspace,
I’m trippin’ out
This is my place,
What you’re about
If you come over we can fly away
Together, let’s go
[Chorus:]
Take me down and you hold me right
Spin me all around,
I feel so dizzy, I fall into you
You rock me, you rock me, you rock me in
Can ya hold me tight and don’t let go?
Take me in your arms and bring me closer
Ooh I want you,
You rock me, you rock me, you rock me in
If you want to, we can race
I’m super fast now,
You wanna chase?
I can fake it, because you’re mine
Double time now, so get in line
If you come over we can fly away
Together, let’s go
[Chorus]
Rock me in,
You rock me in
My world is spinnin’ round you,
Don’t wanna let you down
I’m lost when you’re around me,
Take me so far away from here
Look how I’m spinnin’ round you,
Don’t wanna let you down
I’m lost and can’t be found now
Take me down, take me down
If you come over we can fly away
Together, let’s go
[Chorus]
Rock me in,
You rock me in
Rock me in,
You rock me in
Rock me in,
You rock me in
Two nights ago I was shot
A bullet sunk straight through the skull
A friend pulled the trigger that silenced me
No pain as I awoke, but dead
Seeing the face of the man
The time as he lays down his gun
I knew this was going to take place
White silence, so peaceful, so numb
No one knows the time they’re changing
No one will see through
You’re all gone to me, (gone to me)
I’ve been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
Without one goodbye
I watch my Mother shed tears
No!
This gun has stopped time in its tracks
Has altered the course of my fate
Destiny is shattered and timeless
Closed eyes feel the cold winds embrace
I’ll watch you call, calling for me,
you can’t bring back time…
Close your eyes or look away,
fate exposed, won’t let me stay
Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
descending entity in me
My voice has been taken from me.
The more I listen, the more I have to say
You’re all gone to me, (gone to me)
I’ve been pulled out to watch from my eternal sleep
Intuition and a warning to believe (I will believe)
Something was wrong and though I felt I had to stay
Moving on seemed to be somber bliss
Without one goodbye
I watch my Mother shed tears
(and taste the blood that she cries,
and taste the blood that she cries)
I’ll watch you call, calling for me,
you can’t bring back time…
Close your eyes or look away,
fate exposed, won’t let me stay
Hope will fall tonight with broken wings,
descending entity in me
Calling out your name
Your face is everywhere
I’m reaching out to you
To find that you’re not there
I wake up every night
To see the state I’m in
It’s like an endless fight
I never seem to win
I can’t go on as long as I believe
Can’t let go when I keep wondering
[CHORUS:]
Where are you now, what have you found
Where is your heart, when I’m not around
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go
I can hear your voice
The ring of yesterday
It seems so close to me
But yet so far away
I should let it out
To save what’s left of me
And close the doors of doubt
Revive my dignity
But, I can’t go on as long as I believe
Can’t let go when I keep wondering
[Repeat CHORUS]
I should let it out, it’s time to let you go
Oh baby, I just want to know
[Repeat CHORUS]
