Be With You

Beyoncé · Dangerously In Love [2003]

Ooh baby

I love the way you make me feel

It slows down time

Come in my bedroom and turn off the lights



You whisper softly in my ear

Makes me unwind

The way you touch me

Let's me know you're mine



I'd rather be with you because I love the way you scream my name

And there's no other man that gives me what I want

And makes me feel this way

I'd rather be with you because you hustle hard to take care of me

I'd rather be with you

(Boy I'd rather be with you)



I love the way you look at me

Stare into my eyes

What do they say to you

Boy don't be shy

Tonight's the night your fantasies

Will all come true

I am your woman

I belong to you



(There is nothing I won't do for you)

I know my soul connected me to you

I feel so safe when I'm alone with you

(I'm holding back nothin', saving it all for you)

Baby i love making love to you

It's like a high I can't come down from you



I'd rather be with you because I love the way you scream my name

And there's no other man that gives me what I want

And makes me feel this way

I'd rather be with you because you hustle hard to take care of me

I'd rather be with you

(Boy I'd rather be with you)



I'd rather be with you oh yea

Boy I rather be with you

I'd rather be with you oh yea

Boy I rather be with you



I'd rather be with you because I love the way you scream my name

And there's no other man that gives me what I want

And makes me feel this way

I'd rather be with you because you hustle hard to take care of me

I'd rather be with you

(Boy I'd rather be with you)



I don't want nobody else

I ain't goin no where

I'm happy with you

You got me baby

I ain't thinking about

Nobody else but you baby
