BEYONCE - “SINGLE LADIES” LYRICS


All the single ladies (7x)
Now put your hands up
Up in the club, just broke up
I’m doing my own little thing
Decided to dip but now you wanna trip
Cuz another brother noticed me
I’m up on him, he up on me
Don’t pay him any attention
Cried my tears, three good years
Ya can’t be mad at me

[Chorus]
Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it

(Chorus)
I put gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don’t pay him any attention
Cuz you had your turn
But now you gonna learn
What it really feels to miss me

(Chorus)

Don’t treat me like things of this world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
He’s a man that makes me and takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I’m not the one you own
If you don’t, you’ll be alone
And like a ghost, I’ll be gone

All the single ladies (7x)
Now put your hands up

(Chorus)

I am not a Beyonce fan by any means, however I heard this in passing and fell in love. Only because I can relate… the lyrics may not be that hot but the chorus is so true for all these lame brothers that say “you’re the one” and a few months later start tripping…

“If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it…”

Point blank!

single ladies is a really great song, if I were a boy is too.
If you don’t like beyonce why the —- are you even commenting
it’s kinda sad and perthetic and you should stop being so negative
—-head! And to all the nice people in the world, the 4 stars are back
britney
beyonce
p!nk
christina
and I hope they all go to #1
Mouth me back I dare you —–

Kyra

Hi Everybody,
I’m a true Beyonce fan..
yea as everybody all ready knows this song does
remind you of beyonce but its still a great song…I really don’t
see why so many people out here have to just plainly hate on Beyonce….
Just because she has the whole package and you don’t doesn’t mean you have to try to put here down!!
She’s a very great singer and performer and also ENTERTAINER!
ST0P THE HATING!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY ON BEYONCE!

CORRECT LYRICS!!!!

All the single ladies(7x)

Now put your hands up

Up in the club, just broke up

I’m doing my own little thing

You decided to dip and now you wanna trip

Cuz another brother noticed me

Im up on him, he up on me

Dont pay him any attention

Done cried my tears, for three good years

Ya can’t be mad at me

[Chorus]

Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it

If you liked it then you shouldd put a ring on it

Dont be mad once you see that he want it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohh

if you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Dont be mad once you see that he want it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips

Hold me tighter than my Dereon jeans

acting up, drink in my cup

I can care less what you think

I need no permission, did i mention

Dont pay him any attention

Cuz you had your turn

and now you gone learn

wat it really feels like to miss me

(Chorus)

Dont treat me to things of the world

Is a man that makes me then takes me

And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond

Pull me into your arms

Say I’m the one you want

If you dont, youll be alone

And like a ghost, Ill be gone

All the single ladies(7x)

Now put your hands up

(CHORUS)

Just too hot for words!plus i know she’ll kill the video!if i were a boy showed her vocal skills which were flawless! MAKE WAY:QUEEN BEE IS BACK!

All I can say is…I like both songs. But I am disappointed. The reason I am disappointed is she leaves people believing that she co-wrote (to me it means she contributed at least 50% or more) the song…when in actuality…she wrote none of it!! Not only did she not write the song…she didn’t even change it up!! I have noticed that any song that is lyrically incredible…she didn’t write them.

Beyonce published the following statement:

I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny’s Child when I was 15 years old. I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me. The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side. I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all. There is no label or tag on my sound. It’s me and I am so excited to share it with the world on November 18.’

So when you say things like this…you make people believe it is your sound…and it isn’t hers…it is BC Jean’s. Oh well…I guess one day we will get an album that she will truly create on her own.

Either way…we know that Beyonce will make it a hit and hopefully BC Jean will get her credit.

http://www.bcjean.net/

“If I Were A Boy” was written by Toby Gad who wrote “Big Girls Don’t Cry” for Fergie and he had BC Jean sing the song as a demo for Beyonce….it’s just that BC Jean posted it on her myspace….BC Jean did not write the song, TOBY DID and Beyonce even change some lyrics because hers and Beyonce’s version is a little different, so people like Angel and the rest of you idiots need to STFU.

Single Ladies is a great song, it is already getting a lot of airplay and the video is great so back off

i like this song beyonce its really hot lol jejeje i love u B, lets go get them jejeje

i love this song B, lets go get them i love u B im a big fans of her

hey im a trueeeee Beyonce Fans I love u beyonce and please alll that ******* people that hates my beyonce please stop the hates i know shes one of the gratest , so B lets go get them i love this song im a single boy lol but i love all urs songs espcially irreplaceable

Chorus line three…dont be mad once you see that “he” on it
Second verse line 2…”hold me tighter than my” dereon jeans
Second verse line 3…acting up “drink in my cup”
Last verse line 7…”say im the one you own”
Last verse line 8…”like a ghost ill be gone”

CORRECTIONS

(Hook)

All the single ladies (7x)

Now put your hands up

(Verse 1)

Up in the club, we just broke up

I’m doing my own little thing

You decided to dip, but now you wanna trip

Cuz another brother noticed me

I’m up on him, he up on me

Don’t pay him any attention

Cried my tears, for three good years

Ya can’t be mad at me

(Chorus)

Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Don’t be mad once you see that he want it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips

Got me tighter than my Dereon jeans

Acting up, drink in my cup

I could care less what you think

I need no permission, did I mention

Dont pay him any attention

Cuz you had your turn

But now you gonna learn

What it really feels like to miss me

(Chorus)

(Break-Down)

Don’t treat me to the things of this world

I’m not that kind of girl

Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve

He’s a man that makes me then takes me

And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond

Pull me into your arms

Say I’m the one you own

If you don’t, you’ll be alone

And like a ghost I’ll be gone

(Hook)

(Chorus) (2x)

I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! FIRST OF ALL, BEYONCE IS GOLDEN!
I don’t like “If I Were A Boy”, but “Single Ladies…” is the S***. The lyrics corrections are as follows:

1. Up in the club, just BROKE UP!

2. DON’T PAY HIM ANY ATTENTION.

3. Don’t be mad when you see that HE WANT IT.

4. On me tighter than DEREON JEANS

5. Acting up, BREAKING MY CUP

6. (Again) DON’T PAY HIM ATTENTION

7. DON’T TREAT ME TO THE THINGS OF THE WORLD

8. SAY I’M THE ONE YOU OWN

9. LIKE GHOST, I’LL BE GONE!

Get it together!!!!

Fast as we can, we got an evil plan
If you can’t follow me, get out the game
Call for backup as soon as you hear my name!

Hook:
It’s time to get nasty
Look at me, I’m fabulously sexy
Front of the line, VIP
We’re celebrity

Chorus:
You got me feeling nasty baby
It’s kinda hot but it’s so damn crazy
It feels so good to be a single lady, baby
Don’t be afraid to explore my body
Take off your clothes, get naughty
Let’s funk away this party

Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it like that

Don’t know where I left my cell phone
I mean, this song really turns me on
We could be jamming all night long
The vibe is coming over me so strong
I’m feeling we’ve just begun
Let me help you put it on

Repeat Chorus

T-Pain:
TP and B-E-E
Sure u aint ready to party with the wife of Jay Z
She pretend to be a single lady
So she can ride with me
I came in to check on her
But I keep looking at shorty
she so hot that I wish she was my beyonce
(Cant understand this part lol)
Nappy boy in love with baby bee

All my single ladies throw your hands
All my single ladies throw your hands
All my single ladies theow your hands up
In the air!

OMG…..People have nothing better 2 do than to hate on her. Most of you just mad because she’s a beautiful successful woman. She on top of the game and ain’t nothing you can do about it but ***** and whine. Go on with your damn life. Anyways “Angel” or whoever you are in order for you to acutually call it rubbish you have to listen to it first. Which in the first case if you didnt like her you wouldn’t have listened to it in the first place. Come on people she coming out with two cds in one day and she has had hits since Destiny’s Child. And the lyric is ” Dont pay him any attention. Love Ya Bey keep doing ya thang.

I haven’t heard B’s first single but I must admit that I’m feeling the Single Ladies track. It’s very catchy & a song that I can jam to with a drink in my hand in the club….which is the purpose of the song. Yes she may be married but she still has a fan base to cater to. She’s a business woman first, A married woman Second!!!!!

here are the missing lyrics. they correspond to the blanks.

1) we just broke up
2)don’t pay him any attention
3)cos he won it.
4)got me tighter than my dereon jeans
5)acting up, drink in my cup
6)don’t pay him any attention
7)like a ghost I’ll be gone.

there ya go :)

Up in the club, just ______
it’s BROKE UP, not woke up

____ attention
don’t pay him any attention

Don’t be mad once you see that _____ it
he want

__ in my Dereon jeans
we tighter than my Dereon Jeans

acting up, breaking my ____
she said DRANK IN MY CUP…breaking is not there

I don’t care ____ attention
again…she said DON’T PAY HIM ANY ATTENTION

______ I’ll be gone
and like a ghost

THE END!

I LIKE DIS SONG ALOT…………….. NOT REALLY FEELIN IF I WERE A BOY BECUZ IT SEEMS LIKE SHE WAS COPYING CIARA AND NEM BUT ITS OK……………………. BUT I REALLLY LIKE SINGLE LADIES………………… EITHER WAY IT GOES ITS GNE SELL………………DNT BE MAD ONCE YOU SEE DAT HE WANT IT LOL DATS MY FAV PART
