Summertime

Yeah, uh huh, what up girl, yeah
I hear all that, that's real nice and all that
But it been good though, 'cause it been a year
It been real good, 'cause it feels so good
And it's summertime all over again
Tell me something

Out of all the guys that approach me
Walking up to me like they know me
You were the one that stayed aside
Waited a while, and took your time
You don't know how impressing
Your curiosity was to me
It was the fourth day of July
Looked in my eyes and saw that I

Wanted more than just a man (Man)
I needed a friend (A friend)
Someone I can talk to, someone who really understands (Understands)
When you touched my hand (My hand)
The sun got brighter then (Brighter then)
Trusting you, I closed my eyes and felt the love begin
[Chorus: Beyoncé & (Ghostface Killah)
It was the summertime (When we fell in love)
It was the summertime (When heaven shined on us)
It was the summertime (That's right)
Baby, there is nothing like the summertime
Summertime

Now it's been a year and we're closer
Fall in love again when I hold ya
I know that God set you aside for me
And now you are my prize
Wanna grow old with ya
Fill our house with your pictures
Have a son for you, a little girl for me
Together, we'll raise a family
[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & (Ghostface Killah)
I wanted more than just a man
I needed a friend (Yo, I understand
Everything you talking about, baby)
Someone I can talk to, someone who really understands
That's my word 'cause I feel the same way)
When you touched my hand (You know what I mean?
I been feeling this way for a long time, too)
The sun got brighter then (And uh, it's like I wanna be your daddy)
Trusting you, I closed my eyes and felt the love
Begin (I wanna be your lover, your everything)
I just wanna share life with you (It's like
Yo, that's why I tell you I love you)
[Chorus: Beyoncé & (Ghostface Killah)
It was the summertime (When we fell in love)
It was the summertime (When heaven shined on us)
It was the summertime (That's right)
Baby, there is nothing like the summertime
Summertime

I used to sit back and analyze on how we first met
A year ago on the barber shop steps
You and your friends walked past me
I called you back like, "Come here sexy
Have a word with you, yeah please"
Congratulations on being my gift
God wrapped you up tight and he preserved my wish
I'm not a psychic, it's just I'm in tune with self
I swear the vibes got heavy when we got real close
Your whole demeanor caused me to ask
Questions and stare at you strangely
Have I found my baby? If so, then tell me now
Looked like you was 'bout to say something, you just broke a smile
Gave me the number and I said I'll dial (Yeah)
A year later, we on the block like bow
Tell me something, is it me or we up to something?
Love to love you, you're my friend and my woman
