Single Loser (Put a Beck on It) Lyrics

[Intro]
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up

[Verse 1]
Up in the club (club), just broke up (up)
I’m doing my own little thing
Decided to dip (dip), but now you wanna trip (trip)
'Cause another brother noticed me
I’m up on him (him), he up on me (me)
Don’t pay him any attention
Cried my tears (tears), for three good years (years)
You can’t be mad at me

[Chorus: Beyonce and (Beck)]
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda (Yo!) put a ring on it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that (Yo!) he want it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a (Cut it) ring on it
[Chorus 2: Beyonce and (Beck)]
Whoa, oh, oh (Soy) oh, oh-oh (un perdedor)
Whoa, oh, oh (I'm a loser, baby) Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
(So why don't you kill me?)
(Double barrel buckshot)
Whoa, oh, oh (Soy) oh, oh-oh (un perdedor)
Whoa, oh, oh (I'm a loser, baby) Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
(So why don't you kill me?)

[Verse 2: Beyonce and Beck]
I got gloss on my lips (lips), a man on my hips (hips)
Hold me tighter than my Deréon jeans
Acting up (up), drink in my cup (cup)
I can't care less what you think
I was a monkey
I need no permission, did I mention?
Don’t pay him any attention
'Cause you had your turn (turn)
But now you gon' learn
What it really feels like to miss me

[Chorus: Beyonce and (Beck)]
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
(You can't write if you can’t relate)
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
(Trade the cash for the beat for the body for the heat)
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
(And my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite)
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
(Who's choking on the splinters)
[Chorus 2: Beyonce and (Beck)]
Whoa, oh, oh (Soy) oh, oh-oh (un perdedor)
Whoa, oh, oh (I'm a loser, baby) Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
(So why don't you kill me?)
(Get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Whoa, oh, oh (Soy) oh, oh-oh (un perdedor)
Whoa, oh, oh (I'm a loser, baby) Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
(So why don't you kill me?)
(Drive-by body pierce)

[Bridge: Beyonce and (Beck)]
Don't treat me to the things of the world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
(Yo, bring it on down)
Here’s a man that makes me, then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
(Yo, bring it on down)
Pull me into your arms
Say I’m the one you want
If you don’t, you’ll be alone
(I'm a driver, I'm a winner)
And like a ghost, I’ll be gone
(Things are gonna change, I can feel it)

[Chorus 3: Beyonce and Beck]
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
Soy un perdedor
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
I'm a loser, baby
All the single ladies (All the single ladies)
So why don't you kill me?
All the single ladies
(I can't believe you)
Now put your hands up
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Soy un perdedor
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm a loser, baby
So why don't you kill me?
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Soy un perdedor
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
I'm a loser, baby
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
So why don't you kill me?
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
(Sprechen Sie Deutsch, eh, baby?)
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Soy un perdedor
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
I'm a loser, baby
Don’t be mad once you see that he want it
So why don't you kill me?
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
(Know what I'm sayin'?)
Whoa, oh, oh

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This mashup of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” and Beck’s “Loser” has been created in response to Beck’s 2014 album Morning Phase trumping Beyoncé’s self-titled 2013 LP for the album of the year Grammy in 2015, and the news didn’t sit quite well with Kanye West.

Created and uploaded on Soundcloud by user “Beckyoncé”, it initially had 3,000 Soundcloud plays in its first few days. As of November 2020, it has received around 845,000 plays. The familiar slide guitar of Beck’s 1993 slacker anthem “Loser” is accompanied by Beyoncé’s buoyant “Singles Ladies” vocals, and when Beck’s warble chimes in with “Soy un perdedor,” Bey’s “Whoa-oh-oh!” cry breathes new life into the refrain.
