Lyrics
[Intro]
The winner is
Beyoncé Knowles female pop vocalist!
I would like to thank the judges for picking me
My parents who I love
I love you Houston
[Verse 1]
And I've been drifting off on knowledge
Cat-calls on cat-walks
Man, these women getting solemn
I could sing a song for a Solomon or Salamander
We took a flight at midnight and now my mind can't help but wonder
How come?
Spoon-fed pluralized eyes to find the beaches in the forest
When I'm looking off the edge
I preach my gut, it can't help but ignore it
I'm climbing up the walls 'cause all the shit I hear is boring
All the shit I do is boring
All these record labels boring
I don't trust these record labels, I'm torn
All these people on the planet
Working 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
All the people on the planet
Working 9 to 5 just to stay alive
How come?
[Chorus]
What goes up, ghost around
Ghost around
What goes up, ghost around
Ghost around
[Bridge]
Around
Around
Around
Around
Around
Around
Around
[Outro]
Soul not for sale
Probably won't make no money off this, oh, well
Reap what you sow
Perfection is so, mmm
[Verse 2]
It's what you do
It's what you see
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
It's where we go
It's where we'll be
I know if I'm onto you, I'm onto you
Onto you, you must be onto me
[Verse 3]
My haunted lungs
Ghost in the sheets
I know if I'm onto you
You must be haunting me
My wicked tongue, where will it be?
I know if I'm on to you, I'm onto you
Onto you, I'm onto you
Onto you, you must be onto me
[Bridge]
You want me?
I walk down the hallway
You like it?
The bedroom's my runway
Slap me, I'm pinned to the doorway
Kiss, bite, foreplay
[Verse 4]
My haunted lungs
Ghost in the sheets
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
My wicked tongue, where will it be?
I know if I'm onto you
You must be onto me
[Verse 5]
It's what we see
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
It's where we go
It's where we'll be
I know if I'm onto you, I'm onto you
Onto you, I'm onto you
[Outro]
Onto you, you must be onto me
You must be onto me
You must be onto me
You must be onto me
Me
Me
Me
Me
