Honey, Honey
I can see the stars all the way from here
Can't you see the glow on the window pane?
I can feel the sun whenever you're near
Every time you touch me I just melt away
Now everybody ask me why I'm smiling out from ear to ear.
(They say love hurts)
But I know
(It's gonna take the real work) oh
Nothing's perfect, but it's worth it after fighting through my fears
And finally you put me first

Baby it's you.
You're the one I love.
You're the one I need.
You're the only one I see.
Come on baby it's you.

You're the one that gives it all.
You're the one I can always call.
When I need you make everything stop.
Finally you put my love on top.

Ooo! Come on Baby.
You put my love on top, top, top, top, top.
You put my love on top.
Ooo Ooo! Come on baby.
You put my love on top, top, top, top, top.
My love on top.
My love on top.

Baby, baby
I can hear the wind whipping past my face.
As we dance the night away.
Boy your lips taste like a night of champagne.
As I kiss you again, and again, and again and again.

Now everybody ask me why I'm smiling out from ear to ear.
(They say love hurts)
But I know
(It's gonna take the real work)
Nothing's perfect, but it's worth it after fighting through my tears.
And finally you put me first.

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

Ooo! Baby.
You put my love on top, top, top, top, top.
You put my love on top.
Ooo Ooo! Come on baby.
You put my love on top, top, top, top, top.
My love on top.
My love on top.

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

Baby you're the one I love.
Baby you're all I need.
You're the only one I see.
Come on baby it's you.
You're the one that gives it all.

- Why don't you love me
- Love on top
- Best thing I never had
- Halo (live ver where she put lots of runs and head voice is even harder than the original ver)

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!
