Beauty and a Beat Lyrics

[Intro: Nicki Minaj]
Yeah
Young Money
Nicki Minaj
Justin, rrr


[Verse 1: Justin Bieber]
Show you off
Tonight, I wanna show you off (Ayy-ayy-ayy)
What you got
A billion could've never bought (Ayy-ayy-ayy)

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
We gonna party like it's 3012 tonight
I wanna show you all the finer things in life
So just forget about the world, we young tonight
I'm coming for ya, I'm coming for ya

[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
'Cause all I need
Is a beauty and a beat
Who can make my life complete
It's all 'bout you
When the music makes you move
Baby, do it like you do
Cause you-
[Instrumental Drop]

[Verse 2: Justin Bieber]
Body rock
Girl, I can feel your body rock (Ayy-ayy-ayy)
Take a bow
You're on the hottest ticket now, ooh (Ayy-ayy-ayy)

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
We gonna party like it's 3012 tonight
I want to show you all the finer things in life
So just forget about the world, we young tonight
I'm coming for ya, I'm coming for ya

[Chorus: Justin Bieber & Nicki Minaj]
'Cause all I need
Is a beauty and a beat
Who can make my life complete
It's all 'bout you
When the music makes you move
Baby, do it like you do (Uh, uh)
Cause you-

[Verse 3: Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber]
I-I-I-I-In time, ink lines
B-B-Bitches couldn't get on my incline

World tours, i-i-it's mine
Ten little letters on a big sign

Justin Bieber
You know I'ma hit 'em with the ether
Buns out, wiener
But I gotta keep an eye out for Selener

B-B-Beauty, beauty and the beast
Beauty from the East
Beautiful confessions of the priest
Beast, beauty from the streets
Beat will get deceased
Every time Beauty on the beat eats
Body rock (Yeah, yeah)
Oh (Yeah, yeah)
I wanna feel your body rock (Let's go, let's go)
(Frrrrr, yeah)
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
'Cause all I need (All I need is love)
Is a beauty and a beat (A beat)
Who can make my life complete (Complete, oh-oh-oh, oh woah)
It's all 'bout you (All I need is you)
When the music makes you move
Baby, do it like you do (Do)
Cause you-

[Instrumental Drop]
