Lyrics

WATER

Yeah
Shoot

Baby, oh, I'm not much of a talker
Baby, oh, can I drink from your water?
Baby, oh, meet me down by the river
We can dance to the rhythm
'Til the sun is high and the water runs dry

Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for
What are you waiting for?
Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for
What are you waiting for?

Well, darling, if you leave, I'll go wherever you go
I'll wear your heart on my sleeve so everybody here knows
But if you tell me to stay, you'll never be on your own
So baby, don't wait too long

Baby, oh, I'm not much of a talker
Baby, oh, can I drink from your water?
Baby, oh, meet me down by the river
We can dance to the rhythm
'Til the sun is high and the water runs dry

Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for
What are you waiting for?
Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for
What are you waiting for?

I'll bring you back the moon just so we got all night
I'll bring the sun down too, so I can show you the light
Trust me, if you ever leave, I'll be right by your side, oh
For you, I will ride, ah

(Baby, oh) I'm not much of a talker
(Baby, oh) can I drink from the water?
(Baby, oh) meet me down by the river
We can dance to the rhythm
'Til the sun is high and the water runs dry

Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables (yeah)
That's what the waves are for (yeah)
What are you waiting for? (Yeah)
Yes, we can make it far (yeah)
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for (yeah)
What are you waiting for?

Baby, oh, I'm not much of a talker
Baby, oh, can I drink from the water?
Baby, oh, meet me down by the river
We can dance to the rhythm
'Til the sun is high and the water runs dry

    We’ve all agreed that Beyoncé can do whatever she wants by now, right? Over the course of a flawless 30-year career, she’s been a member of one of the most influential pop groups of all time before releasing a run of boundary-pushing solo albums alongside game-changing live performances. She’s more than earnt the right for complete creative freedom and she repeatedly does things her own way tonight at the first of five sold-out stadium shows at London’s Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
