Ego - Beyoncé

Album: I Am... Sasha Fierce

Aw baby, how you doing?
You know I’m gonna cut right to the chase, huh?
Some women were made
But me, myself?
I like to think that I was created
For a special purpose
And, uh
What’s more special than you?
You feel me?

[Verse 1]
It’s on, baby let’s get lost
You don’t need to call in to work cause you’re the boss
For real, want you to show me how you feel
I consider myself lucky, that’s a big deal
Why?
Well, you got the key to my heart
But you ain’t gonna need it
I’d rather you open up my body
And show me secrets you didn’t know was inside
No need for me to lie

[Chorus]
It’s too big (big)
It’s too wide (wide)
It’s too strong (strong)
It won’t fit (fit)
It’s too much (much)
It’s too tough (tough)
He talk like this cause he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego
I love his big ego
It’s too much
He walk like this cause he can back it up

[Verse 2]
Usually I’m humble
Right now, I don’t choose
You can leave with me
Or, you could have the blues
Some call it arrogant
I call it confident
You decide when you find out what I’m working with
Damn, I know
I’m killing you with them legs
Better yet, them thighs
Matter of fact it’s my smile, or maybe my eyes?
Boy, you a sight to see
Kinda something like me

[Chorus]
It’s too big (big)
It’s too wide (wide)
It’s too strong (strong)
It won’t fit (fit)
It’s too much (much)
It’s too tough (tough)
I talk like this cause I can back it up
I got a big ego
Such a huge ego
But, he loves my big ego
It’s too much
I walk like this cause I can back it up

I, I walk like this cause I can back it up
I, I talk like this cause I can back it up
I, I, I can back it up
I can back it up
I walk like this cause I can back it up

[Chorus]
It’s too big (big)
It’s too wide (wide)
It’s too strong (strong)
It won’t fit (fit)
It’s too much (much)
It’s too tough (tough)
He talk like this cause he can back it up
He got a big ego
Such a huge ego… such a huge ego
But, I love his big ego
It’s too much
He walk like this cause he can back it up

[Bridge]
Ego so big you must admit
I got every reason to feel like I’m that bitch
Ego so strong, you ain’t know?
I don’t need no beat, I can sing it with piano…
