[Beyoncé & Ne-Yo: Intro]
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting

[Beyoncé: Verse 1]
It's 6 o'clock
And seconds feel like hours as I sit here
And watch them tick away
And just the thought
Of seeing you again I wanna sing
I've been longing for this day

[Beyoncé & Ne-Yo: Hook]
I'll be waiting
'Cause I can't smile untill I see your smile
I'll be waiting
There's nothing else that I would rather do
I'll be waiting
'Cause I can't sleep until I hear your heart
I'll be waiting
'Cause patiently I'll wait right here for you
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Patiently I'll wait right here for you
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Patiently I wait

[Ne-Yo: Verse 2]
It's 12 am
The crowd is getting thin but it's okay
'Cause I'm not here for them no, no, no
And I refuse
To move from the spot
Until I feel your heart
Pressed against mine again
I'm waiting!

[Beyoncé & Ne-Yo: Hook]
I'll be waiting
'Cause I can't smile until I see your smile
I'll be waiting
There's nothing else that I would rather do
I'll be waiting
'Cause I can't sleep until I hear your heart
I'll be waiting
'Cause patiently I'll wait right here for you

[Beyoncé & Ne-Yo: Bridge]
I don't care how long it takes
I don't mind I'm alright I'll sit and wait
'Til the sun comes down and rise
And come right back up again
You're the best thing that's happened in my life
When your absent in the borders is my life
And it just ain't right
So take as long as you like
I'm waiting

[Beyoncé & Ne-Yo: Pre-Hook]
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
I'm waiting

[Beyoncé & Ne-Yo: Hook]
I'll be waiting
I can't smile until I see your smile
I'll be waiting
There's nothing else that I would rather do
I'll be waiting
'Cause I can't sleep until I hear your heart
I'll be waiting
'Cause patiently I'll wait right here for you

[Beyoncé & Ne-Yo: Hook]
I'll be waiting
I can't sleep until I hear your heart
I'll be waiting
There's nothing else that I would rather do
I'll be waiting
'Cause I can't sleep until I hear your heart
I'll be waiting
'Cause patiently I wait right here for you

[Beyoncé & Ne-Yo: Outro]
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Patiently I wait right here for you
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Patiently I wait
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting

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.
