[Chorus] 
Can you keep up? 
Baby boy, lemme lose my breath 
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath 
Keep it hot, lemme lose my (Hah Hah)

Baby boy, lemme lose my breath 
Bring the noise, make me lose my breath 
Keep it hot, lemme lose my breath (Hah Hah) 
[Beyonce] 
OOOh 
I put it right in front me, easy for you to get to 
Now you want to act like ya don't know what to do 
Actin' like I done everything that you ask me 
Had you, Had you, Had you, Had you 
Move so fast baby now I can't find you 
OOOh 
I'm startin' to believe that I'm way too much for you 
All that talk but it seems like it can't come through 
On and off, to satisfy me, now I see why the little you ride me 
Gave you the wheel, but you can't drive me 
[Chorus] 
[Kelly] 
OOOh 
Do things that I like when I try to get my groove 
It's a problem, makes me only happy just get proof 
Take me out so deep when you know you can't swim 
Now I've drowned and I need protection 
To put it on me deep in the right direction 
OOOh 
You understand the facts that I'm trynna give to you 
Ya movin' so slow like you just don't have a clue 
Didn't mama teach you to give affection? 
You're the difference of a man and an adolescent 
Don't need you boo, so get tha steppin' 
[Chorus x2] 
[Michelle] 
If you get what we say OOO 
Like you really that strong 
Now you ask for some and you really want not---hin' 
If you get what we say OOO 
Like you feelin' this groove 
[Beyonce] 
You don't have no business and this is your purpose 
Baby you are senseless, senseless, senseless, senseless, senseless, senseless, senseless 
[Chorus x2]
