Love on Top
Beyoncé Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna sing this last song
To all of my incredible
Beautiful fans
Loyal fans, ride or dies
It's dedicated my incredible Beyhive

Honey, honey
I can see the stars all the way from here
Can't you see the glow on the window pane?
And I can feel the sun whenever you're near
You're near
Every time you touch me, I just melt away

Everybody asks me why I'm smiling out from ear to ear
(They say love hurts) But I know
(It's gonna take a little work) Oh
Nothing's perfect, but it's worth it
After fighting through my tears
And finally you put me first

Sing it y'all
Baby, it's (you), you're the one I (love)
You're the one I need (need)
You're the only thing I see
Come on, baby, it's (you) (it's you)
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call (always call)
When I need you, make everything (stop)
Finally, you put my love on top

Baby,'cause you're the one that I love
Baby, you're all I (need)
You're the only thing I see
Come on, baby, it's (you)
You're the one that gives your (all)
You're the one I can always call (always call)
When I need you, you make everything (stop)
Finally, you put my love on top

Baby, it's your turn (you're the one that I love) (love)
Sing it (baby, you're all I need) louder (need)
You're the (only one I see)
C-c-come on, baby, it's (you)
You're the one that gives your (all)
You're the one I can (always call)
When I need you, you make everything (stop)
Finally, you put my love on top

Baby,'cause you're the one that I love
Baby, you're all I need
You're the only thing I see
Come on, baby, it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one I can always call always call
When I need you, baby everything stops
Finally, you put my love on top

Baby, 'cause you're the one I (love)
You're the one I need (need)
You're the only thing I see
Come on, baby, it's you it's you
You're the one that gives your all
You're the one that always calls
When I need you, baby everything stops
Finally, you put my love on top

Coachella thank you so much I love you

Alright, so for whatever reason, I have a head full of voices that talk to me about you ALL friggin day!

I came to say, Beyonce, you're loved by Jesus regardless of how people make you feel hated.

I kid you not, these voices are annoying and I hated you for a minute until I considered what was at stake. I'm not singling you out except to say something kind and to relay an idea.

These people are trying to make me a prostitute in your name. I just went to the local blood plasma center and considered how many women come there to buy diapers. I'll leave this with you and a few of your fans.

You're not Babylon!

I think this might just be my favorite Beyonce song.. I love the old-school soul feel of it, and her vocals SLAY... Long live Queen B

@hugoglobal72

Waaaaaa

@reyliy482

Still love this song <3

@ianh7525

Vocally she bears a rather contemparary, sentimental feel and is very much in the moment but can be old school in her own way.

@JazzyJaydas

when she leaves us, there will be a giant memorial and I MEAN GIANT or I'm gonna die of tears...
