About the song:

Partition” by Beyoncé is an explicit song about sexual desire, intimacy, confidence, and female sexual agency. It was released on her 2013 self-titled album and is structured in two connected sections: “Yoncé” and “Partition.”

The title “Partition” refers to the glass divider (partition) in a limousine that separates the driver from the passengers. In the song, Beyoncé asks the driver to “roll up the partition” because she wants privacy for an intimate moment with her partner. The partition becomes a symbol of creating a private space away from public view.

The song is also widely discussed as an expression of female empowerment. Rather than portraying the woman as passive, the lyrics present the narrator as confident and in control of her own desires, challenging traditional expectations

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Let me hear you say, “Hey, Ms. Carter” (Hey, Ms. Carter)
Say, “Hey, Ms. Carter” (Hey, Ms. Carter)
Give me somethin’

[Verse 1]
See me up in the club with fifty-‘leven girls
Posted in the back, diamond fangs in my grill
Brooklyn brim with my eyes sittin’ low
Every boy in here with me got that smoke
And every girl in here got to look me up and down
All on Instagram, cake by the pound
Circulate the image every time I come around
G’s up, tell me how I’m lookin’, babe

[Bridge]
Boy, this all for you, just walk my way
Just tell me how it’s lookin’, babe
Just tell me how it’s lookin’, babe (How it’s lookin’, babe)
I do this all for you, baby, just take aim
And tell me how it’s lookin’, babe (How it’s lookin’, babe)
Tell me how it’s lookin’, babe, lookin’, babe

[Verse 2]
Drop the bass, mane, the bass get lower
Radio say, “Speed it up,” I just go slower
High like treble, pumpin’ on the mids
The man ain’t ever seen a booty like this
And why you think you keep my name rollin’ off the tongue?
‘Cause when he want a smash, I’ll just write another one
I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor

Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor
Like, like liquor, like, like, like liquor

[Outro]
Beyoncé, Beyoncé?
Are you happy to be in Paris?
Are you happy to be in Paris?
Beyoncé, Beyoncé, Beyoncé?

[Verse 1]
Driver, roll up the partition, please
Driver, roll up the partition, please
I don’t need you seein’ ‘Yoncé on her knees
Took forty-five minutes to get all dressed up
We ain’t even gonna make it to this club
Now my mascara runnin’, red lipstick smudged
Oh, he so horny, yeah, he want to fuck
He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse
He Monica Lewinsky’d all on my gown
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, there, daddy, daddy didn’t bring the towel
Oh, baby, baby, we better slow it down
Took forty-five minutes to get all dressed up
And we ain’t even gon’ make it to this club

[Chorus]
Take all of me
I just wanna be the girl you like
The kind of girl you like
Take all of me
I just wanna be the girl you like
The kind of girl you like is right here with me

[Verse 2]
Driver, roll up the partition fast (Hey)
Driver, roll up the partition fast
Over there, I swear I saw them cameras flash
Handprints and footprints on my glass
Handprints and good grips all on my ass
Private show with the music blastin’
He like to call me “Peaches” when we get this nasty
Red wine drip, we’ll talk that trash
Chauffeur eavesdroppin’, tryin’ not to crash

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, there, daddy, daddy, now you rip my fur
Oh, baby, baby be sweatin’ off my hair
Took forty-five minutes to get all dressed up
And we ain’t even gonna make it to this club
[Chorus]
Take all of me
I just wanna be the girl you like
The kind of girl you like
Take all of me
I just wanna be the girl you like
The kind of girl you like is right here with me (Hello)

[Bridge]
Est-ce que tu aimes le sexe?
Le sexe, je veux dire: l’activité physique, le coït. Tu aimes ça ?
Tu ne t’intéresses pas au sexe ?
Les hommes pensent que les féministes détestent le sexe, mais c’est une activité très stimulante et naturelle que les femmes adorent

[Chorus]
Take all of me
I just wanna be the girl you like
The kind of girl you like
Take all of me
I just wanna be the girl you like
The kind of girl you like is right here with me (Hello)
