I love to love you baby
I'm feelin' sexy
I wanna hear you say my name boy
If you can reach me
You can feel my burning flame
Baby the minute I feel your energy
Your vibe's just taken over me
Start feelin' so crazy babe
Lately, I feel the funk coming over me
I don't know what's gotten into me
The rhythm's got me feelin' so crazy babe
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl
I'm callin' all my girls
We're gonna turn this party out
I know you want my body
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl I'm
Callin' all my girls
I see you look me up and down
And I came to party
You're so sexy
Tonight I am all yours boy
The way your body
Moves across the floor
You got me feelin n-a-s-t-y, I just might take you home with me
Baby the minute i feel your energy
The vibe's just taken over me
Start feelin' so crazy babe
Lately, I feel the funk coming over me
I don't know what's gotten into me
The rhythm's got me feelin' so crazy babe
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl
I'm callin' all my girls
We're gonna turn this party out
I know you want my body
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl I'm
Callin' all my girls
I see you look me up and down
And I came to party
I love to love you baby (I love to love you baby)
I love to love you baby (I love to love you baby)
I love to love you baby (I love to love you baby)
I love to love you baby (I love to love you baby)
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl
I'm callin' all my girls
We're gonna turn this party out
I know you want my body
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl I'm
Callin' all my girls
I see you look me up and down
And I came to party
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl (I'll be you naughty girl)
I'm callin' all my girls
We're gonna turn this party out
I know you want my body
Tonight I'll be your naughty girl I'm
Callin' all my girls
I see you look me up and down
And I came to party
In the song, "Naughty Girl," Beyoncé expresses her sensual side and desire to be desired. She feels sexy and empowered, and wants to hear her lover say her name. She plays with the idea of being "n-a-s-t-y" and possibly taking her lover home with her. The rhythm of the music and the energy of the atmosphere have taken over her, and she feels crazy but alive. It's a shameless celebration of sexuality and sensuality, and the chorus repeats the phrase "tonight I'll be your naughty girl" while Beyoncé calls out to her girls to join her in turning the party out.
Throughout the song, Beyoncé plays with different ideas of power, control, and desire. She's in charge of her own body and her own pleasure, but she also wants her partner to be in awe of her. She sings about feeling the funk and the rhythm, and how it makes her feel wild and unpredictable. She's not afraid to show off her body and make her lover want her, but she's also not afraid to take control and make the first move.
The song is a celebration of female sexuality and sensuality, and Beyoncé's voice and energy make it impossible not to dance and feel sexy along with her.
