  • You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
    We got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh
    You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
    You got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh

    I may be young, but I'm ready
    To give you all my love
    I told my girls you can get it
    Don't slow it down, just let it go

    So in love
    I'll give it all away
    Just don't tell nobody tomorrow
    So tonight
    I'll do it every way
    Speakers knockin' 'til the morning light

    'Cause we like to party
    (I don't know what y'all do)
    Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
    Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
    (Party, party, party, hey)
    'Cause we like to party
    (I don't know what y'all do)
    Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
    Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
    (Party, party)
    'Cause we like to party

    Your touch is driving me crazy
    I can't explain the way I feel
    Top down with the radio on
    And the night belongs to us
    Just hold me close, don't let me go

    So in love
    I don't care what they say
    I don't care if they talking tomorrow
    'Cause tonight's the night, oh-oh-oh-oh
    That I give you everything
    Music knockin' 'til the morning light
    'Cause we like to party

    Set the scene, three thousand degrees
    Ain't worried about them f- n- over there, but they worried 'bout me
    I got a homeboy named Butta and another homeboy, that n- named Cheese
    F- wit' me, baby, I make it milk 'til it drip down yo' knees
    Spit this ish fo' real-o, brain brillo
    Kiddo say he looks up to me, this just makes me feel old
    Never thought that we could become someone else's hero
    Man, we were just in the food court, eating our gyros
    Yesterday, that's the way, every single mornin' I try to pray
    Grandmom 'n them, they never forgot
    Nothin' else really mean nothin' to me
    I ain't studyin' the beat, talkin' to me?
    Girl, why you f- wit' me?
    Move on, ain't nothin' to see
    Pssh, always somethin' to saw, I'm the raw, off the rip
    'Cause of him, all of them
    Will remember the minute they fell in love with rap
    Black like havin' your cousin back
    Blue like when that rent is due
    Cream like when I'm lovin' you, yeah

    So in love
    I'll give it all away
    Just don't tell nobody tomorrow
    'Cause tonight's the night, oh-oh-oh-oh
    That I give you everything
    Music knockin' 'til the morning light

    'Cause we like to party
    (I don't know what y'all do)
    Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
    Hey, hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
    (Party, party, party, hey)
    'Cause we like to party
    (I don't know what y'all do)
    Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
    Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
    (Party, party, party, hey)
    'Cause we like to party

    You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
    We got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh
    You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
    You got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh Writer/s: Andre Benjamin, Beyonce Knowles, Dexter Mills, Douglas Davis, Jeffrey Bhasker, Kanye West, Ricky Walters

  • Ad from ChicagoThe rapper's lyrics at the beginning are actually, "You got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu." Sauce and Ragu—get it? (BTW, thanks for your excellent and expansive coverage of artists, songs and more.)
  • Lynness28 from Sydney, AustraliaOne of the Beyonce songs I have listened to again, a lot lately. It reminds me of my dad who used to play ‘For your love’ Stevie Wonder when we were growing up.
    Surprised it’s not referenced for a melodic reference for the chorus and opening. Love how she used it.
