Naive
Beyonce Lyrics

I know you think I'm young and naive
I understand that you believe I am inexperienced and immature

But you gotta trust in me
You need to have faith in me

To be strong and responsible
To exhibit strength and accountability

'Cause I think I'm in love
Because I believe I have developed romantic feelings

Don't try to tell me this ain't real
Please do not attempt to persuade me that my emotions are not genuine

It's in the way he makes me feel
My feelings are rooted in the emotions he evokes in me

I think my baby is the one
I believe that he is my soulmate

It's in the way he holds it down
I am attracted to the way in which he handles situations

I know you think that this is real
I understand that you believe these feelings are authentic

I know exactly how you feel
I am aware of your thoughts and opinions

To young to know if he's the one
We are too young to know if he is the one

Girl you got time so slow it down
You have time, there's no rush, take it slow

It's to complicated
It's too intricate and difficult

To explain my relationship
To put into words about my love life

My friends are hating
My friends are disliking

'Cause they ain't feelin what I'm feelin
Because they don't share my feelings

Leave me alone
Allow me to be by myself

And just let me be
And just let me exist freely

Find your own thing
Discover your own identity and interests

And get off of me
And stop trying to intervene or control me

It's not complicated girl
It's not difficult to comprehend

I've been where you are before
I have experienced what you are going through

I'm not underrating
I'm not belittling

I'm just tryin' to protect your feelings
I am only trying to safeguard your emotions

Solange listen to me understand what I'm saying
Solange, please pay attention to what I am explaining

you'll realize one day
You will come to a realization eventually

How much I care
How much I am concerned and care about you

Solange you might love the boy
Solange, you may be in love with the boy

Even sneak around the corner kiss and hug the boy
You might even secretly kiss and embrace him in hidden places

But Beyonce been there before
But I, Beyonce, have been in your situation previously

And she wouldn't want anybody to hurt you
And I wouldn't want anyone to cause you pain

'Cause Matthew would drill the boy
Because our father, Matthew, would be very cautious and overprotective of you

And I can't ignore that you young
I cannot disregard that you are still very young

We just don't want you to get sprung
We don't want you to become infatuated and lose perspective

On some young dumb-dumb with no crumbs
On some immature and thoughtless person with no prospects

Get all up in your heart and then run
To deeply penetrate your heart and then abruptly depart

Gettin' your heart broke is no fun
Experiencing heartbreak is not enjoyable

Neither is somebody telling you he not the one
Nor is it comforting to be told that he is not the right person

You gotta learn for yourself though
You have to gain knowledge and experience for yourself

And if you don't experience things
And if you don't encounter situations

Then you'll never know
You will never have the chance to learn and understand

I don't want you wishing
I don't want you to regret

You coulda, shoulda, woulda did it
You could have, should have or would have done something

But you didn't
But you chose not to

Listening to other people's advice
Taking suggestions from other individuals

Its your life
This is your life

Make your own decisions really
Ultimately, you must make your own choices
