[Verse 1]
I like your smile, the way you dress
I must admit, I am impressed
So are you single? You sayin' yes
Then who’s that girl behind you looking all upset?
What's wrong? you're sweatin’, and looking stressed
She's just your friend? right, I bet..
She's mighty mad, I think you better jet..
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess

[Chorus]
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
Can't live, I can't live without them, I guess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
Can't live, I can't live without them, I guess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess

[Verse 2:]
Sometimes I love it when they fight for my attention..
But hate it when they try to touch without permission..
Sexy & smart, I want you to know
Sometimes it's trauma, sometimes it’s fun
That why I love em’, though they keep me stressed
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess

[Chorus]
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
Can't live, I can’t live without them, I guess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
Can't live, I can't live without them, I guess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess

[Music Plays]

[Chorus]
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
Can't live, I can’t live without them, I guess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess
Can't live, I can't live without them, I guess
I swear sometimes boys can be such a mess

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.
