  • Ten times out of nine, I know you're lying
    But nine times outta ten, I know you're trying
    So I'm trying to be fair
    And you're trying to be there and to care
    And you're caught up in your permanent emotions
    All the loving I've been giving goes unnoticed
    It's just floating in the air, lookie there
    Are you aware you're my lifeline, are you tryna kill me
    If I wasn't me, would you still feel me?
    Like on my worst day?
    Or am I not thirsty, enough?
    I don't care about the lights or the beams
    Spend my life in the dark for the sake of you and me
    Only way to go is up, skin thick, too tough

    'Cause you, you, you, you and me could move a mountain
    You, you, you, you and me could calm a war down
    You, you, you, you and me could make it rain now
    You, you, you, you and me could stop this love drought

    Nine times out of ten, I'm in my feelings
    But ten times out of nine, I'm only human
    Tell me, what did I do wrong?
    Feel like that question has been posed
    I'm movin' on
    I'll always be committed, I been focused
    I always paid attention, been devoted
    Tell me, what did I do wrong?
    Oh, already asked that, my bad
    But you my lifeline, think you tryna kill me?
    If I wasn't me, would you still feel me?
    Like on my worst day?
    Or am I not thirsty, enough?
    I don't care about the lights or the beams
    Spend my life in the dark for the sake of you and me
    Only way to go is up, them old bitches so wack
    I'm so tough, wassup?

    'Cause you, you, you, you and me could move a mountain
    You, you, you, you and me could calm a war down
    You, you, you, you and me could make it rain now
    You, you, you, you and me would stop this love drought

    You and me would stop this love drought Writer/s: Beyonce Giselle Knowles, Ingrid Nicole Burley, Mike Dean
