Work It Out
Beyonce (rmxd by soundwasta) Lyrics

How ya doin', honey baby?
A casual greeting to her lover.

You know I don't ask for much
The singer is not asking for extravagant things from her lover.

But for a girl spendin' time alone can be pretty rough
Spending time alone can make the singer feel lonely.

But I get a knock on my door
The singer's lover has arrived.

I know it's yours for sure
The singer recognizes her lover's knock immediately.

We can't wait for the bedroom, so we just hit the floor
The couple is too eager to wait, so they start dancing.

Is y'all all right?
The singer is checking if everyone is having a good time.

I don't know, but I know what's happened to me, girl, hey
The singer may not know if others are enjoying themselves, but she's sure something amazing is happening to her.

Uh, break it down now
The singer is encouraging her lover to dance freely.

He gotta work it out
The singer wants her lover to dance well.

A brother gotta work it out
The word 'brother' is used in a playful context to imply 'lover.'

Whoa, whoa
An expression of excitement and enthusiasm.

Child, blow your horn now
An ode to jazz, the singer is asking for someone to play music.

Come on, child, blow your horn now
A repetition of the previous line.

So we're shakin' back and forth now
The couple is enjoying dancing together.

Just keep it comin', babe
The singer wants the dancing to continue.

Treat my body like a guitar
The singer wants her lover to touch her body sensually, like playing a guitar.

You gotta, you gotta keep on strummin'
The singer wants her lover to keep touching her sensually.

But in the back of my mind
The singer has a nagging thought in her head.

Is it gonna be the last time?
The singer is worried that this may be the last time she spends with her lover.

Well, if it ain't about lovin' and you gon' keep it comin'
As long as her lover continues to give her love, she is content.

Well, baby, with me that's fine
The singer is reassuring her lover that she is happy with just his love.

Look-a here. Bring it.
The singer wants her lover to dance even better and show off his skills.

So, baby, hold me like you don't want to let go
The singer wants her lover to hold her tightly.

I'm feeling foxy 'cause, boy, you're workin' it out
The singer feels sexy because her lover is dancing well.

My love, you've given me a taste of your honey
The singer is enjoying the physical intimacy with her lover.

I want the whole beehive
The singer wants to experience even more physical intimacy with her lover.

I'm gonna call you my sugar to fly high
The singer is expressing her affection for her lover by calling him her 'sugar.'

The sweetest time. You gotta work it out
The time spent together is sweet and the singer wants her lover to keep dancing well.

Austin better work it out. Foxy better work it out. AP3 better work it out. AP3 better work it out.
The singer is calling out to the performers to dance well in a playful way.
