[Intro: Beyoncé] Who wants that perfect love story anyway, anyway? Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché Who wants that hero love that saves the day, anyway? Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché What about the bad guy goes good, yeah? And the missing love that's misunderstood, yeah? Black hour glass, our glass Toast to clichés in a dark past Toast to clichés in a dark past
[Verse 1: Jay-Z] Boy meets girl, girl perfect woman Girl get the bustin' before the cops come running Chucking deuces, chugging D'USSE Fuck what you say, boys in blue say
[Beyoncé] I don't care if we on the run Baby as long I'm next to you And if loving you is a crime Tell me why do I bring out the best in you
[Bridge: Beyoncé] I hear sirens while we make love Loud as hell, but they don't know They're nowhere near us I will hold your heart and your gun I don't care if they come, noooo I know it's crazy but
[Hook: Beyoncé] They can take me Now that I found the places that you take me Without you I got nothing to lose
[Verse 3: Jay-Z] I'm an outlaw, got an outlaw chick Bumping 2Pac, on my outlaw shit Matching tatts, this Ink don't come off Even if rings come off, if things ring off My nails get dirty, my past ain't pretty My lady is, my Mercedes is My baby momma harder than a lot of you niggas Keep it 100, hit the lottery niggas You ain't about that life ain't gotta lie to me, nigga You know it's 'til the death, I hope it's obvi to niggas Cross the line, speak about mine I'mma wave this Tec, I'm a geek about mine Touch a nigga where his rib at, I click clat Push your mothafucka wig back, I did that I been wilding since a juvi, she was a good girl 'til she knew me, now she is in the drop bustin' U's, screaming
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Jay-Z] Deeper then words, beyond right Die for your love, beyond life Sweet as a Jesus piece, beyond ice Blind me baby with your neon lights Ray Bans on, police in sight Oh, what a beautiful death, let's both wear white If you go to heaven and they bring me to hell Just sneak out and meet me, bring a box of L's She fell in love with the bad guy, the bad guy What you doing with them rap guys, them rap guys They ain't see potential in me girl, but you see it If it's me and you against the world, then so be it
[Beyoncé] I don't care if they give me life I get all of my life from you And if loving you had a price I would pay my life for you
[Bridge]
[Outro: Beyoncé] I don't care I'll never give it up Give it up, give it up, give it all away No I swear I'll never give it up Give it up, give it up, give it all away I don't care I'll never give it up Give it up, give it up, give it all away No I swear I'll never give it up Give it up, give it up, give it all away (Without you I got nothing to lose)
