[Intro]
Woah-ho ooh

[Chorus]
I know that you treat me right
But still I think I gotta make you my next ex
Come on to the next
And I think you're nice
But I saw something else I like
And I think I gotta make you my next ex
Come on to the next (oh oh)

[Verse 1]
Today when I wake up
You didn't look the same as last night
And it just don't feel right anymore
I think that we should break up
There's no reason to make up
I won't fight
I'm just tired and I need a change

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sorry, boy
But you got me bored
And something's catching my eye
I was only satisfied
For a little while
I gotta
Switch 'em out, switch 'em out
Switch 'em out, switch 'em out
Kick 'em out, kick 'em out
Kick 'em out, kick 'em out (woah oh ho-ooh ooh)

[Chorus]
I know that you treat me right
But still I think I gotta make you my next ex
Come on to the next
And I think you're nice
But I saw something else I like
And I think I gotta make you my next ex
Come on to the next (oh oh)

[Verse 2]
You call me too frequently
I thought it was so sweet in the beginning
But now you're too clingy for me
You don't put the seat down
You don't clean the house how I like it (trifling)
That's risen enough
You're time's expired

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sorry, boy
But you got me bored
I gotta move around
If I ain't got a ring by now
That means I'm not tied down
I gotta
Switch 'em out, switch 'em out
Switch 'em out, switch 'em out
Kick 'em out, kick 'em out
Kick 'em out, kick 'em out

[Chorus]
I know that you treat me right
But still I think I gotta make you my next ex
Come on to the next
And I think you're nice
But I saw something else that I like
I really think I gotta make you my next ex
Come on to the next (oh oh)

[Break]
Woah oh
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah-ho oh
Woah oh
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah
Woah oh oh oh
I gotta
Switch 'em out, switch 'em out
Switch 'em out, switch 'em out
Kick 'em out, kick 'em out
Kick 'em out, kick 'em out

[Chorus]
I know that you treat me right
But still I think I gotta make you my next ex
Come on to the next
And I think you're nice
But then I seen something else that I like
I really think I gotta make you my next ex
Come on to the next (oh oh)

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.
