[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
I'm goin' all out just for fun, I am the man, I know it
And everywhere I go, they know my name
So I laugh and I lie and the coyotes cry
And, uh, time moves quickly and so do I, so do I
So I'll say my goodbye


[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]
'Cause time heals everything
I don't need anything
Hallelujah
I pray to her

[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Here's to hoping I'll fall fast asleep tonight
And I'll just need to get through this
Born in the darkness, who brings the light?
And I just, I need to get through this
Or just get used to it


[Verse 2: Willie Jones, Beyoncé, Beyoncé & Willie Jones]
I'm goin' down south just for fun, I am the man, I know it
And everywhere I go, I hide my face
From the cowboys in Clovis and the rodeo circus
I came here for a reason, but I don't know the purpose
It's all under the surface

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Willie Jones]
But time heals everything
I don't need anything
Hallelujah
I pray to her


[Chorus: Beyoncé]
Here's to hoping I'll fall fast asleep tonight
And I'll just need to get through this
Born in the darkness, who brings the light?
And I just, I need to get through this
Or just get used to it


[Outro: Beyoncé]
'Cause time heals everything
I don't need anything
Hallelujah
I pray to her
I pray to her

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

JUST FOR FUN stems from how people do things for fun, even though sometimes you may have adverse reactions. Beyoncé and Willie Jones reflect on how they felt overwhelmed, and in the dark, but are encouraged to keep going no matter what.

This explains a bit how the 3-act project came about, where Beyoncé did Lemonade with many genres as a therapy in her marital crisis, but never thought she would feel unwelcome in the genres she dabbled in.
