Speechless – Beyoncé

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me speechless

Where you been, baby?

Waited for you all day

Waited for you to use the key

That opens my place

My heart starts trembling

As I hear your footsteps pace

Lock opened, doorknob turned

There appears your face

Going outta my head, I think I’m losing all my mind

Drive me crazy, burning candles, making love all night

Feels so strange, it feels so crazy to be in your world

In your arms lost for words

You’ve got me

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

Oh

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me speechless

Laying so closely

I feel your skin rubbing and touching me

Only sweat between us

Feeling you kissing and pleasing me

I rub your back

I kiss your neck

I know that you love when we touch like that

I can feel you need me

Feels so good to me

Feels so good to me

Going outta my head, I think I’m losing all my mind

Drive me crazy, burning candles, making love all night

Feels so strange, it feels so crazy to be in your world

In your arms lost for words

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me (You’ve got me)

You’ve got me speechless

Yes, yes, yes

Yes, yes, yes

Speechless, all I can say is

Yes, yes, yes

All I can say is

Yes, yes, yes, yes

Kiss me

Hold me

You’ve got me

Speechless
