[Chorus]
Come take my hand, I won't let you go
I'll be your friend, I will love you so deeply
I will be the one to kiss you at night
I will love you until the end of time
I'll be your baby, now promise not to let you go
Love you like crazy, now say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go (Say)
Say you'll never let me go (Hey)
Say you'll never let me go (Say)
Say you'll never let me go

[Verse 1]
Take you away from here
There's nothing between us but space and time
I'll be your own little star
Let me shine in your world
In your own little universe, make me your girl

[Chorus]
Come take my hand, I won't let you go
I'll be your friend, I will love you so deeply
I will be the one to kiss you at night
I will love you until the end of time
I'll be your baby, now promise not to let you go
Love you like crazy, now say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go (Say)
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go (Say)
Say you'll never let me go

[Verse 2]
Baby, come on get up on it
Show me that you really want it
I wanna be the one to love you, baby, let's go (Whoa)
Let's go (Whoa)
I wanna provide this loving that you're giving
I ain't frontin' in this love, but
Can you let me love you from your head to toe? (Whoa)
Baby, let's go (Whoa)

[Verse 3]
Boy, come to me (Come to me)
Let me turn your rain into sun (Come to me, baby)
You don't have to worry, baby (Oh, no)
I promise I'll set your heart free
Let my love into your soul
You go, I go, we go, that's all she wrote

Say you'll never let me go (Say)
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go (Say)

Beyoncé

In the twenty-first century, no pop star was as poised, as polished, or as generally fierce as Beyoncé. She scored early success with Destiny’s Child, who started out as a sexier and sassier (if less adult) version of TLC, then steadily became more and more of a vehicle for Beyoncé’s operatic vocals and general diva-tude, which may have been the plan all along.

Whether appearing in TV spots, co-starring in films like Dreamgirls, or killing it every night on stadium tours, Beyoncé was omnipresent in the 2000s. Almost everybody, Beygency member or otherwise, loved shiny, hip-hop-fueled hits like “Crazy in Love”, and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”. Moving into the 2010s, Beyoncé fights on, gaining more and more traction in pop culture with her work and music.

She has made a significant impact upon the music landscape in general with her recent albums 4 and BEYONCÉ, which explored complex themes like motherhood, feminism, marriage, sexuality, and doubt in a greater depth. With Lemonade, she went a step further—the fierce, intimate exploration of marriage, infidelity, and forgiveness was her most personal and musically daring album yet.
