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
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?

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

Beyoncé has long shown her appreciation of Prince throughout her career and will now share a letter written to her inspiration.
The ‘Hold Up’ singer has written the foreword to an upcoming book on the life and career of the late music legend, titled ‘Prince: A Private View’.
The book is a collection of photographs and stories taken and written by Afshin Shahidi, who became Prince’s “cinematographer and later one of the only people allowed to photograph him” after the pair met in 1993, according to its description.
Shahidi offers an exclusive and intimate look into the mysterious icon’s private life - including those infamous 3121 private parties - while Beyoncé’s foreword will honour the artistry that inspired her from a young age.
“Truth be told, the word ‘icon’ only scratches the surface of what Prince was and what he remains to me,” is what she states in a preview reported by Entertainment Weekly.
Beyoncé joined Prince onstage to perform ‘Crazy In Love’ at the end of his ‘Purple Rain’ medley at the Grammy Awards in 2004, and she has covered his song ‘The Beautiful Ones’ live many times, even including it on last year’s Formation World Tour set list.
This is an absolute must-have for any Prince fan, and we can't wait to pick it up on October 17!

Found the truth beneath your lies
And true love never has to hide
(True love never has to hide)
I'll trade your broken wings for mine
(Trade your broken wings for mine)
I've seen your scars and kissed your crime
(Seen your scars and kissed your crime)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long
Our love was stronger than your pride
Beyond your darkness, I'm your light
If you get deep, you touch my mind
(If you get deep, you touch my mind)
Baptize your tears and dry your eyes
(Baptize your tears and dry your eyes)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long
They say true love's the greatest weapon
To win the war caused by pain (Pain)
But every diamond has imperfections
But my love's too pure to watch it chip away
Oh, nothing real can be threatened
True love breathes salvation back into me
With every tear came redemption
And my torturer became a remedy
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long
How I missed you, my love
And true love never has to hide
(True love never has to hide)
I'll trade your broken wings for mine
(Trade your broken wings for mine)
I've seen your scars and kissed your crime
(Seen your scars and kissed your crime)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long
Our love was stronger than your pride
Beyond your darkness, I'm your light
If you get deep, you touch my mind
(If you get deep, you touch my mind)
Baptize your tears and dry your eyes
(Baptize your tears and dry your eyes)
So many people that I know, they just tryna touch ya
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
Give you some time to prove that I can trust you again
I'm gonna kiss up, and rub up, and feel up
Kiss up, and rub up, and feel up on ya
All night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
Sweet love, all night long
All I wanna, ain't no other
We together, I remember
Sweet love, all night long
They say true love's the greatest weapon
To win the war caused by pain (Pain)
But every diamond has imperfections
But my love's too pure to watch it chip away
Oh, nothing real can be threatened
True love breathes salvation back into me
