Beyoncé took inspiration from her state of mind while playing Etta James. A throw-back to the 1980s music, the up-tempo R&B song exhibits similar styles of Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, Whitney Houston, Diana Ross and The Jackson 5. While incorporating six key changes, Knowles also adopts her high range when repeating the song’s chorus towards the end of the song. She sings about a man who she can always call, even after facing grief and hard work, finally earning his love and respect.

[Intro]

Bring the beat in

 

[Verse 1]

Honey, honey

I can see the stars all the way from here

Can’t you see the glow on the window pane?

I can feel the sun whenever you’re near

Every time you touch me, I just melt away

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Now everybody asks me why I’m smiling out from ear to ear

(They say love hurts) But I know

(It’s gonna take a little work) Oh

Nothing’s perfect, but it’s worth it

After fighting through my tears

And finally you put me first

 

[Chorus 1]

Baby, it’s you, you’re the one I love

You’re the one I need, you’re the only one I see

Come on, baby, it’s you

You’re the one that gives your all

You’re the one I can always call

When I need you, make everything stop

Finally, you put my love on top

 

 

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, come on, baby!

You put my love on top, top, top, top, top

You put my love on top

Ooh, come on, baby!

You put my love on top, top, top, top, top

You put my love on top

 

[Verse 2]

Baby, baby, I can feel the wind whipping past my face

As we dance the night away

Boy, your lips taste like a night of champagne

As I kiss you again, and again, and again, and again

 

[Pre-Chorus]

Now everybody asks me why I’m smiling out from ear to ear

(They say love hurts) But I know

(It’s gonna take a little work) Oh

Nothing’s perfect, but it’s worth it

After fighting through my tears

And finally you put me first

 

[Chorus 1]

Baby, it’s you, you’re the one I love

You’re the one I need, you’re the only one I see

Come on, baby, it’s you (It’s you)

You’re the one that gives your all

You’re the one I can always call

When I need you, make everything stop

Finally, you put my love on top

 

 

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh, baby!

You put my love on top, top, top, top, top

You put my love on top

Ooh, come on, baby!

You put my love on top, top, top, top, top

You put my love on top

 

[Chorus 2]

Baby, it’s you, you’re the one I love

You’re the one I need, you’re the only thing I see

Come on, baby, it’s you (It’s you)

You’re the one that gives your all

You’re the one that always call

When I need you, baby, everything stops

Finally, you put my love on top

Baby, you’re the one that I love

Baby, you’re all I need

You’re the only one I see

Come on, baby, it’s you

You’re the one that gives your all

You’re the one I always call

When I need you, make everything stop

Finally, you put my love on top

Baby, ’cause you’re the one that I love

Baby, you’re the one that I need

You’re the only one I see

Baby, baby, it’s you

You’re the one that gives your all

You’re the one that always calls

When I need you everything stops

Finally you put my love on top

Baby, ’cause you’re the one that I love

Baby, you’re the one that I need

You’re the only one I see

Baby, baby, it’s you

You’re the one that gives your all

You’re the one that always calls

When I need you everything stops

Finally you put my love on top
