[Verse 1]
(He's like)
Water when I'm thirsty
Even when I'm quenched, I still can't get enough
(He's like)
Fire when I'm cold
With just a simple touch, he warms me

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa, storms come without a warning
If we get through this tonight, we can make it to the morning
Because if I can't be your girl

[Chorus]
Then what kind of world would it be without you?
Like a mountain so high to reach
(What kind of world?)
'Cause if we can't live in the sky
Then I might as well drown in the sea
(What kind of world?)
Finally my search is over and I found where I belong
But somehow we went wrong, oh

[Post-Chorus]
What kind of world? Ah
What kind of world?
(Oh, what kind of world? Yeah)

[Verse 2]
(He's my)
Air that I'm breathing
I don't need a reason, I would never leave him
(He's my)
Shelter from the rain
And I'll keep on clouded 'til we reach love again

[Pre-Chorus]
Storms come without a warning
If we get through this tonight, we can make it to the morning, oh
Because if I can't be your girl

[Chorus]
Then what kind of world would it be without you?
Like a mountain so high to reach
Said what kind of world?
'Cause if we can't live in the sky
Then I might as well drown in the sea
(What kind of world?)
Finally my search is over and I found where I belong
But somehow we went wrong, oh

[Post-Chorus]
What kind of world?
(Ooh, what kind of world?)
What kind of world?
(Oh, if you're not here with me, oh)

[Bridge]
See, the lesson I've learned is that love is all
And I would tear to burn to be proven wrong
So I keep on searching, keep on preaching, keep on praying
And I can't give up 'til I'm your girl

[Chorus]
So what kind of world would it be without you?
Like a mountain so high to reach
(So tell me, ah)
Said what kind of world?
'Cause if we can't live in the sky
Then I might as well drown in the sea
(What kind of world?)
Finally my search is over and I found where I belong
But somehow we went wrong, oh

[Post-Chorus]
What kind of world?
What kind of world?
What kind of world?
What kind of world?

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.
