From Cosmopolitan

Beyoncé and Jay Z dropped a surprise new album, "Everything Is Love", and literally the entire world LOST IT. The nine track album (with bonus single, "Salud") features a ton of ~intimate~ lyrics about Bey and Jay's relationship, so let's take a minute to break them down.

LOVEHAPPY

1. Beyoncé: “You did some things to me / Boy you do some things to me / But love is deeper than your pain and I believe you can change."

2. “Sometimes I thought we’d never see the light / Went through hell with heaven on our side."

3. “Pray for the vows.”

SUMMER

4. Beyoncé: “I wanna drown in the depth of you / The water’s so blue, so blue / I need to take my time / Show you something real, so real / I want you to come inside right now."

NICE

5. Pharrell: "Then you shine like a new feather, blessings on blessings, et cetra
Feeling like the best year ever, damn, it's nice."

713 (aka, Houston's area code!)

6. Beyoncé: “Ain’t no way to stop this love / Ain’t no space if everything is love.”

7. Jay Z: “We played it cool at the pool at Cancun VMA / Confidence you exude makes the fools stay away / Me, I played my room, let the fools have they say / Fate had me sitting next to you on the plane / And I knew straight away."

LOVEHAPPY

OK, seriously this whole song is beyond, so here goes all the lyrics:

[Verse 1: Beyoncé + Jay-Z]
Happily in love, haters please forgive me
I let my wife write the will, I pray my children outlive me

I give my daughter my custom dresses, so she gon' be litty
Vintage pieces by the time she hit the city, yeah-ah
Vintage frames, I see nobody fuckin' wit' him
Pretty thug, out the third ward, hit me
Sir asked it, like his dad's shit is trippy (uh-huh)
Twinning, Blue and Rumi, me and Solo are winning!
(Happy in love)
Sitting, dock of the bay wit' a big yacht
Sippin' Yamazaki on the rocks

He went to Jared, I went to [?] out in Paris
Yeah, you fucked up the first stone, we had to get remarried
Yo, chill man
We keepin' it real with these people, right?
Lucky I ain't kill you when I met that b- (Nah, aight, aight )
Y'all know how I met her, we broke up and got back together
To get her back, I had to sweat her

Y'all could make up with a bag, I had to change the weather
Move the whole family West, but it's whatever
In a glass house still throwing stones
Hova, Beysus, watch the thrones
(Happy in love)

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
You did some things to me
Boy, you do some things to me
But love is deeper than your pain and I believe you can change
Baby, the ups and downs are worth it
Long way to go, but we'll work it
We're flawed but we're still perfect for each other
Sometimes I thought we'd never see the light
Went through hell with heaven on our side
This beach ain't always been no paradise
But nightmares only last one night
(Happy in love)

[Verse 2: Jay-Z + Beyoncé]
No more clubs and Cali-curfews (one night)
Just private affairs in a tighter circle
Large format wines in small settings, woo
Just hood ass nigga's in designer suits (ooh)
Follow my moves on a truth in Alaïa boots, yeah, yeah
Amelia Earhart, flyer than who?(yeah, yeah)
Fake news y'all choose, we no lie
No photoshop, just real life
(Happy in love)

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
You did some things to me
Boy, you do some things to me
But love is deeper than your pain and I believe you can change
Baby, the ups and downs are worth it
Long way to go, but we'll work it
We're flawed but we're still perfect for each other
Sometimes I thought we'd never see the light
Went through hell with heaven on our side
This beach ain't always been no paradise
But nightmares only last one night

[Outro: Beyoncé]
Damn, look at us now
Pray, pray for the vows
Way up now, yes, and a way, long way down
We came, and we saw, and we conquered it all
We came, and we conquered, now we're happy in love
