Pray You Catch Me by Beyoncé

Artist: Beyoncé

Genre: Pop

Length: 3:15

On the opening track of Lemonade, Beyoncé introduces the suspicion, pain, and emotional intimacy that will drive the whole album. We realize this album will be an exploration of one marriage’s long, dark night of the soul. Famously married to Jay-Z, and dogged by rumors of infidelity, Beyoncé seems to be jumping right into “what really happened,” and telling us that it was as bad as we might have guessed (or worse).

Pray You Catch Me lyrics

You can taste the dishonesty, it's all over your breath
As you pass it off so cavalier, but even that's a test
Constantly aware of it all, my lonely ear
Pressed against the walls of your world
Pray to catch you whispering
I pray you catch me listening
I'm prayin' to catch you whispering
I pray you catch me
I'm prayin' to catch you whispering
I pray you catch me listening
I pray you catch me
Nothing else ever seems to hurt like the smile on your face
When it's only in my memory, it don't hit me quite the same
Maybe it's a cause for concern, but I'm not at ease
Keeping my head to the curb
Pray to catch you whispering
I pray you catch me listening
I pray to catch you whispering
I pray you catch me
I pray you catch me
Pray you catch me
I'm prayin' you catch me
What are you doing my love?
