Be With You
Beyonce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh baby
Ooh baby

I love the way you make me feel
It slows down time
Come in my bedroom and turn off the lights
You whisper softly in my ear
Makes me unwind
The way you touch me let's me know you're mine

I'd rather be with you
Because I love the way you scream my name
And there's no other man that gives me what I want
And makes me feel this way
I'd rather be with you because you hustle hard
To take care of me
I'd rather be with you
Boy I'd rather be with you (I'd rather be with you)
Boy I'd rather be with you

I love the way you look at me
Stare into my eyes
What do they say to you boy don't be shy
Tonight's the night your fantasies
Will all come true
I am your woman I belong to you, whoah

There is nothing I won't do for you
I know my soul connected me to you
I feel so safe when I'm alone with you oh
I'm holding back nothin' saving it all for you
Baby I love making love to you
It's like a high I can't come down from you

I'd rather be with you because I love the way
You scream my name (scream my name)
And there's no other man that gives me what I want
And makes me feel this way (makes me feel this way)
I'd rather be with you because you hustle hard (I'd rather be with you babe)
To take care of me (now hold it down for me baby)
I'd rather be with you

Boy I'd rather be with you (I'd rather be with you)
I'd rather be, I'd rather be with you oh

Hey!
I'd rather be with you well yeah
Boy I rather be with you
I'd rather be with you well yeah
Boy I rather be with you (I rather, rather be, rather be with you)

I'd rather be with you because I love the way (I love the way you scream my name)
You scream my name (scream it louder baby)
And there's no other man that gives me what I want (make me, make me feel this way)
And makes me feel this way (make me feel good)
I'd rather be with you because you hustle hard
To take care of me (so good, so good)
I'd rather be with you

Boy I'd rather be with you (I'd rather be with you)
I don't want nobody else but you

I'd rather be with you because I love the way
You scream my name
And there's no other man that gives me what I want
And makes me feel this way
I'd rather be with you because you hustle hard (I'd rather be with you babe)
To take care of me
I'd rather be with you





Boy I'd rather be with you (I'd rather be with you)
Boy I'd rather be with you
