1 + 1

Beyoncé · 4 (Deluxe Edition) [2011]

If I aint got nothing, I got you

If I aint got something I don't give a damn, cause I got it with you

I don't know much about algebra, but I know one plus one equals two

And it's me and you, thats all we'll have when the world is through



Cause baby we aint got nothing without love

Darling you got enough for the both of us

So come on baby, make love to me



When my days look low, pull me in close and don't let me go.

Make love to me. So that when the worlds at war, that our love heal us all

Right now baby make love to me...me...me...mee...mee.

ooh ooh make love to me.



Hey! I don't know much about guns but I...I've been shot by you

Hey! And I don't know when I'm gon die,

but I hope that I'm gon die by you

Hey! And I don't know much about fighting,

but I, I know I will fight for you

Hey! Just when I ball up my fist I realize

that I'm laying right next to you



Baby we aint got nothing but love,

and darling you got enough for the both of us

Make love to me...when my days look low,

pull me in close and don't let me go.

Make love to me...so that when the worlds at war,

that our love heal us all

Help me let down my guard, make love to me,me..me,.

me..meee ooh ooh ooh make love to me

...me...me...mee...mee.
