The single reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Jay-Z's second top ten single and Beyoncé's first as a solo artist.

Look for me! Young, be	
Cruisin down the westside - high, way
Doing what we like to do - our, way
Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
All of my dates been blind dates
But today, I got my thoroughest girl wit me
I´m mashin the gas, she´s grabbin the wheel, it´s true to the heart
She rides with me - the new Bobby and Whitney
Only time we don´t speak is during "Sex and the City"
She gets Carrie fever, but soon as the show is over
She´s right back to being my soldier
'Cause mami´s a rider, and I´m a roller
Put us together, how they gon´ stop both us?
What ever she lacks, I´m right over her shoulder
When I´m off track mami is keepin me focused
So let´s, lock this down like it´s supposed to be
The ´03 Bonnie and Clyde, Hov´ and be	

[Chorus]
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.

The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin
With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin
Now they ´bout nothin - if ever you mad about somethin
It won´t be that; oh no it won´t be that
I don´t be at, places where we comfy at
With no be-atch; oh no you won´t see that
And no, I ain´t perfect - nobody walkin this earth´s surface is
But girlfriend, work with the kid
I keep you workin´ at Hermes, Birkin bag
Manolo Blahnik, Timbs, aviator lens
600 drops, Mercedes Benz
The only time you wear Burberry to swim
And I don´t have to worry, only worry is him
She do anything necessary for him
And I do anything necessary for her
So don´t let the necessary occur, yep!

[Chorus]
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.

(Talk to ´em B)
If I was your girlfriend
I´ll be there for you, if somebody hurts you
Even if it´s somebody was me
Yeah-hee (break it down for ´em)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
And so I put this on my life
Nobody or nothing will ever come between us
And I promise I´ll give my life
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend
Put this on my life
The air that I breathe in, all that I believe in
I promise I´ll give my life
And all of my trust if you was my boyfriend

[Chorus]
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
[Jay] All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend.
[Bey] Down to ride ´til the very end, it´s me and my boyfriend.
