Work It Out

How ya doin', honey baby?

You know I don't ask for much

But for a girl spendin' time alone can be pretty rough

But I get a knock on my door
Beyonce's lover has arrived at her place.

I know it's yours for sure
Beyonce recognizes her lover from the knock on the door.

We can't wait for the bedroom, so we just hit the floor
Beyonce and her lover cannot wait to get to the bedroom and start making love, so they start kissing and caressing each other right away.

Is y'all all right?
Beyonce is asking if her lover is okay.

I don't know, but I know what's happened to me, girl, hey

Uh, break it down now

He gotta work it out

A brother gotta work it out

Child, blow your horn now

So we're shakin' back and forth now

Just keep it comin', babe
Beyonce is enjoying the lovemaking and wants her lover to keep going.

Treat my body like a guitar
Beyonce wants her lover to touch her body in a way that is smooth and melodic like playing a guitar.

You gotta, you gotta keep on strummin'

But in the back of my mind
Beyonce has a concern in the back of her mind that she is not sharing.

Is it gonna be the last time?
Beyonce is worried that this might be the last time she and her lover make love.

Well, if it ain't about lovin' and you gon' keep it comin'

Well, baby, with me that's fine

My love, you've given me a taste of your honey

I want the whole beehive

I'm gonna call you my sugar to fly high
