[Intro]
(Background vocals: work it out)
Uh, break it down now
[Verse 1: Beyoncé & Pharrell Williams]
How you doin', honey baby?
You know I don't ask for much, but
For a girl spending time alone
Can be pretty rough
But I get a knock on my door
You know it's yours for sure
We can't wait for the bedroom (no)
So we just hit the floor (Sing it, girl)
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Pharrell Williams]
Is y'all alright? (Ooh)
I don't know, but I know what's happenin' to me, girl, hey (Sing it, y'all)
Is y'all alright? (Yeah)
Uh, break it down now (Ha, sing it, girls)
Is y'all alright?
I don't know, but I know what's happenin' to me, girl
Is y'all alright?
Uh, break it down now (Alright, come on)
[Chorus: Beyoncé & Pharrell Williams]
See, you gotta work it out (Ah)
See, you gotta work it out (Mm)
A brotha gotta work it out
Woah, woah, woah
[Chorus: Beyoncé & Pharrell Williams]
See, you gotta work it out (Ah)
See, you gotta work it out (Mm)
A brotha gotta work it out
Woah, woah, woah
[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé & Pharrell Williams]
Chad, blow your horn now
Come on, Chad, blow your horn now
Chad, blow your horn now (Yeah)
Come on, Chad, blow your horn now (Take it out, come on)
[Verse 2: Beyoncé & Pharrell Williams]
So we shakin' back and forth now
Just keep it comin', babe
Treat my body like a guitar
You got to, you got to keep on strummin'
But in the back of my mind, uh
I wonder "Is it gonna be the last time?"
Well, if there ain't nobody lovin'
And you gon' keep it comin'
Well, baby, with me that's fine
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Pharrell Williams]
Is y'all alright?
I don't know, but I know what's happenin' to me, girl
Is y'all alright?
Uh, break it down now (Mm, sing it, come on)
[Chorus: Beyoncé & Pharrell Williams]
See, you gotta work it out (Sing it)
See, you gotta work it out (Oh)
A brotha gotta work it out
Oh, woah (Uh)
[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé]
Chad, blow your horn now (Hey)
Come on, Chad, blow your horn now (Mm)
Chad, blow your horn now
Come on, Chad, blow your horn now
[Interlude: Beyoncé]
I like this
Oh-ooh, hey
Uh, look it here, ha
Bridge
[Bridge: Beyoncé]
So, baby, hold me like you don't wanna let go
I'm feelin' foxy (Feelin' foxy)
'Cause, boy, you workin' it out
Daddy, you've given me a taste of your honey
I want the whole beehive (Whole beehive)
I'm gonna call you my sugar
'Cause I (I) had the sweetest time (Sweetest time)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé]
Chad, blow your horn now (Hey)
Come on, Chad, blow your horn now (Mm)
Chad, blow your horn now
Come on, Chad, blow your horn now
