If Beyoncé Songs Were Really About Being a Mom (2024)

All the sleepless ladies (All the sleepless ladies)
All the sleepless ladies (All the sleepless ladies)
All the sleepless ladies (All the sleepless ladies)
All the sleepless ladies
Now put your hands up

Up in the crib, she just woke up
Right as I was falling asleep
She decided to nurse but a new diaper first
And daddy's still sound asleep
I'm up with her, she's up with me
Always paying her extra attention
She's crying those tears, for what feels like years
But she can't be mad at me

Cause if you loved me then you would have gone to sleep for me
If you loved me you wouldn't have woken me
Don't be mad once you see how tired I am
If you loved me then you would have gone to sleep for me

Please ease ease ease ease ease
Please ease ease ease ease ease
Please ease ease ease ease ease

I look and stare so deep in her eyes,
I touch on her more and more every time,
When she sleeps I'm begging her not to wake,
Sing a lullaby two or three times in a row,
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain,
How I'm feeling and my baby is the one to blame.
'Cuz I know I don't understand,
Just how her love can do what no one else can.

Got got me feeling so crazy right now, baby's love
Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, baby's look
Got me looking so crazy right now (baby's sound)
Got me hoping she won't wake right now, her cry
Got me hoping daddy will save me right now
Yet, feeling so crazy in love,
Got me feeling, got me looking so crazy in love.

I've been thinking, I've been thinking
Your onesie gets filthy with that milk from me
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
Why can't I get you sleepy, baby?
I love you, na na
Why can't I get you sleepy, baby?
I love you, na na

Boobs on ice, Boobs on ice
Feeling like an animal with these pumps all in my grill
Sleepless nights, sleepless nights
You got me faded, faded, faded
Baby, I still love you, na na
Can't keep my eyes off you
Daddy, wants to share you, na na
So in love, I won't share you

You woke me up in the night crying,
"How the hell the hell am I supposed to fall back to sleep?"
Oh baby, so in love but you be crying all night
Last thing I remember is putting you down before the light
So in love

You be up all night, love, love
You be up all night, love, love

Remember those months I spent?
Well, baby you're here now
And you didn't even start to cry
You didn't even make a sound
They found a way to let you breathe
But, I never really had a doubt
Holding you in my arms
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna put you down!

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your face
Baby, I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray you never go away

I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo . . .
Halo, ooh ooh . . .

Moms, we are the mother (yeah)
Moms, we run this mother (yeah)
Moms, we are the mother (yeah)
Moms, we run this mother
Moms

Who run the home? Moms (x4)
Who run the work? Moms (x4)
Who run the world? Moms (x4)

Some of them men
Think they do it like we do
But no they don't.
Multitask, feed, clean and keep on track.
Disrespect us, no they won't.
Boy, don't even try me.
Boy, this life is crazy!
But this is how they made me.
Up all night, working hard for baby.
This goes out to all my girls
That are in the home, working the latest.

To your room, to your room
To your room, to your room
To your room, to your room

Everything you own upside down on the floor
Have I warned you to take care of your stuff, yes
If I say no, please don't cry
And don't keep making that mess, that's not gonna fly
Could you not walk and talk at the same time?
You're a threenager that's on the run
So remove the breakables, let me count to three
Standing in the front yard you talk back
Hearing you've been a terror in class
Ignoring it when you have to pee
You got me twisted
Why you gotta make me count to three?
Why you gotta make me count to three?
I could lose my cool in a minute
Matter fact, I need a minute, baby

My love is bright as ever (ever, ever, ever)
Even in the nighttime shadows (shadows, shadows, shadows)
Baby, let me kiss you (kiss you, kiss you, kiss you)
Before I turn the lights out (lights out, lights out, lights out)
You're already growing (growing, growing, growing)
And I'm clinging onto you (onto you, onto you, onto you)
Baby, let me kiss you (kiss you, kiss you, kiss you)
Before I turn the lights out (the lights out)
Before I turn the lights out (the lights out)
Baby, I love you now lights out

In the darkest night hour (in the darkest night hour)
I'll hear you cry out (I'll hear you cry out)
Your tears is all that I see
I'll give you everything
Baby, I love you now lights out
Baby, I love you now lights out
Time to turn your lights out
