[Chorus]
You know I hate sleeping alone
But you said that you would soon be home
But baby, that was a long time ago
I'm not feelin' it, I'm not feelin' it
On top of you not callin' me back
You see, I bet you think it's all on track
And you actin' like it's all o' that
I'm not feelin' it, I'm not feelin' it
Let's go, let's go little kitty cat
I think it's time to go
Let's go little kitty cat
He don't want no mo'
Let's go little kitty cat
Quite frankly: no more givin' it
I'm not feelin' it

[Verse 1]
It's like we at two places, but different paces
We in trouble, but you won't meet me at the bridge
It hurts, it feels deserted
Did you forget where your heart lives?

[Pre-Chorus]
What about my body, body?
You don't want my body, body?
Acting like I'm not nobody
You gon' make me call somebody
What about my body, body?
What about my body, body?
You would rather go and party
Somehow, somewhere I'll be naughty

[Chorus]
You know I hate sleeping alone
But you said that you would soon be home
But baby, that was a long time ago
I'm not feelin' it, I'm not feelin' it
On top of you not callin' me back
You see, I bet you think it's all on track
And you actin' like it's all o' that
I'm not feelin' it, I'm not feelin' it
Let's go, let's go little kitty cat
I think it's time to go
Let's go little kitty cat
He don't want no mo'
Let's go little kitty cat
Quite frankly: no more givin' it
I'm not feelin' it

[Verse 2]
(Let me show you how to get there)
Take a left to compassion (Lights will be flashin')
Keep straight and you'll see the sun right there
Affection (You're in the wrong direction)
If I get caught, see, it just seems that you don't care

[Pre-Chorus]
What about my body, body?
You don't want my body, body
Acting like I'm not nobody
You gon' make me call somebody
What about my body, body?
What about my body, body?
You would rather go and party
Somehow, somewhere I'll be naughty

[Chorus]
You know I hate sleeping alone
But you said that you would soon be home (said that you would soon be home)
But baby, that was a long time ago
I'm not feelin' it, I'm not feelin' it
On top of you not calling me back
You see, I bet you think it's all on track
And you actin' like it's all o' that
I'm not feeling it, I'm not feeling it
Let's go, let's go little kitty cat
I think it's time to go
He don't want no mo'
Let's go little kitty cat
Quite frankly: no more givin' it
I'm not feelin' it

[Verse 3]
I'm taking back the things I got from you, you
And that includes my sweet little nookie too, too
Let's go, let's go, let's go little kitty cat (Kitty cat)
He don't want you anymore, no (Uh, uh, uh)
Let's go, let's go, let's go little kitty cat (Kitty cat)
He don't want you anymore, no
(Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
Got diamonds on my neck
Got diamonds on my records
Since 16, I was coming down reppin' Texas
How you gon' neglect this? You is just a hot mess
You can call Tyrone, you ain't gots to lie Craig

[Pre-Chorus (Variation)]
What about my body, body?
What about by my body, body?
I'm in the house all alone, you rather go and party?
What about my body, body?
You don't want my body, body?
Acting like I'm nobody
You gon' make me call somebody

[Outro]
Let's go, let's go little kitty cat
I think it's time to go
Let's go, little kitty cat
He ain't want no mo'
Let's go little kitty cat
No mo' getting' it, I'm not feelin' it

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.
