Beyoncé’s “Bodyguard” doesn’t include Taylor Swift on background vocals, but the song does offer a very steamy look at Bey’s feelings for her husband, Jay-Z.

Lines like “And sometimes I hold you closer / Just to know you’re real (Ah) / Wheels in the gravel / Davis in my bones / Sometimes I take the day off (Ah) / Just to turn you on” 

And “I don’t like the way she’s lookin’ at you / Someone better hold me back, oh-oh” highlight 

Beyoncé’s desire for her longtime partner and her protectiveness of their relationship. 

(Beyoncé, in fact, devotes Cowboy Carter track “Jolene” entirely to warning other women to stay away from her man.)

Her line “You should let me ride shotgun, shotgun” echoes the lyrics of the album’s later track, “II Most Wanted,” 

Where Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus sing, “Woah, I’ll be your shotgun rider ’til the day I / ’Til the day I die.”

Beyoncé started dating Jay-Z when she was 19. The couple got married in April 2008 and have three children together: Blue Ivy, Sir, and Rumi. (Rumi is even featured on “Protector.”)

In her press release for Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé called out Jay-Z as one of her album’s collaborators. 

The songs themselves on Cowboy Carter contain a “narrative steeped in truth-telling, revealing hidden histories

And reveling in all the magic you seek when you take an intentional journey back to your roots,” according to the release.

And if there’s any takeaway from the honest—and flirtatious—lyrics of “Bodyguard,” it’s that Beyoncé’s love 

And commitment to Jay-Z are unshakably strong. Listen to the track and read the lyrics below, via Genius.
