Destiny's Child

Now that you're out of my life
I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you
But I'm stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you
But I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without you
I laugh harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without you
Now I'm wiser
Though that I'd be helpless without you
But I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without you
Sold 9 million

Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you

You thought that I would die without you

Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely

Pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills
Always 50/50 in relationships

(Chorus)
Say my name, say my name
if no one is around you
say baby i love you
if you aint runnin game
Say my name, say my name
you actin kinda shady
aint callin me baby
why the sudden change?

Say my name, say my name
if no one is around you
say baby i love you
if you aint runnin game
Say my name, say my name
you actin kinda shady
aint callin me baby
Better say my name!

(verse 1)
Any other day i would call
you would say
"baby how's your day ?"
but today it aint the same
every other word is
Uh Huh, Yea Okay,
could it be that you,
are at the crib with anotha lady?
If you took it there first if all
let me say, i am not the one
to sit around and be played
so prove your self to me,
or the girl that you claim
why don't you say the thangs
that you said to me yesterday?

(Bridge)
I know you say that i am assuming things
Something's going down thats the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
Cause I know how you useually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who

(Chorus)

(Verse2)
What is up with this?
Tell the truth,
who you with ?
How would you like it if
I came over with my clique
Don't try to change it now
See you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago
you said you just got in the house.
It's hard to believe that you,
are at home, by yourself
when i just heard the voice
heard the voice of someone else.
Just this question
Why do you feel you gotta lie?
Gettin caught up in your game
when you can not say my name

(bridge)
I know you say that i am assuming things
Something's going down thats the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
Cause I know how you useually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who

(chorus)

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo

{Beyonce`}
It's not hot
That you be callin me stressin me
Pagin my beeper you're just nonstop
And it's not hot
That you be leavin me messages every ten minutes
And then you stop by

When I first met you, you were cool
But it was game you have me fooled
Cause twenty minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full

2
So What!
You bought a pair of shoes
What now, I guess you think I owe you
You don't have to call as much as you do
I'd give em back to be through with you
And so what!
My momma liked you
What now, I guess you think I will too
Even if the Pope said he liked you too

I don't really care cause you're a bug a boo

Repeat 1

{Beyonce`}
It's not hot
That when I'm blockin your phone number
You call me over your best friends house
And it's not hot
That I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin me down

You need to chill out with that mess
Cause you can't keep having me stressed
Cause everytime my phone rings
It seems to be you and I'm prayin that it is someone else

Repeat 2

I don't give a damn cause you're a bug a boo

Repeat 1

When you callin me on the phone you're buggin me
When you're followin me around you're buggin me
Everything you do be buggin me
You're buggin me, you're buggin me

When you show up at my door you're buggin me
When you open up your mouth you're buggin me
Everytime I see your face, you're buggin me
You're buggin me, you're buggin me

Repeat 1
Repeat 1

Verse 1- At first we started out real cool
Taking' me places I ain't never been
But now you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing' those things no more
You're slowly making' me pay for things you money should be handling'

And now you ask to use my car (car))
Drive it all day and won't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
And Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week

(Kelly- Hook)- You trilflin'
(All)- Good for nothing' type of brotha
(Kelly)- Silly me
(All)- Why haven't I found another a baller
(Kelly)- When times get hard need someone to help me out
(All)- Instead of
(Kelly)- A scrub like you who don't know what a mans about

Chorus- Can you pay my bills
Can you pay my telephone bills
Can you pay my automobiles
And maybe then we can chill
I don't think you do
So you and me are through

Verse 2- Now you been maxing out my card (card)
Giving me bad credit
Buying me gifts in my own name
Haven't paid the first bill
But you're steady heading to the mall
Going on shopping sprees perpetrating
Telling your friend that you be balling

And then you use my cell phone (phone)
Calling whoever that you think at home
And then when the bill comes
All of a sudden you be acting dumb
Don't know where none of these calls come from
When your mamas number here more than one

(Kelly- Hook)- You trilflin'
(All)- Good for nothing' type of brotha
(Kelly)- Silly me
(All)- Why haven't I found another a baller
(Kelly)- When times get hard need someone to help me out
(All)- Instead of
(Kelly)- A scrub like you who don't know what a mans about

Chorus- Can you pay my bills
Can you pay my telephone bills
Can you pay my automobiles
And maybe then we can chill
I don't think you do
So you and me are through
(repeat chorus)

You trifling good for nothing type of brotha
Oh silly me why haven't I found another
You trifling good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me why haven't I found another
Can you pay the bills
Can you pay my telephone bills
Can you pay my automobiles
And maybe then we can chill
I don't think you do
So you and me are through

(Acapella)- Can you pay the bills
Can you pay the telephone bills
Can you pay my automobiles
And maybe then we can chill
I don't think you do so you and me are through......

[Timbaland]
Hey baby, how you
Why your face lookin' all sad and blue
Don't you like the Navigator truck that I brought you
Why you tryin' to act a fool
Don't try to say you seen me talking to your girlfriends
Ask Tonya and Shirl then
Gimme a place and time when
Don't try to accuse me of silly stuff that I'm doing on the streets
You gotta remember, without you, there's no me
I'm just an average man
Tryin' to make it in this cold world
So tell me baby, why you trippin', girl

[Beyonce]
I don't wanna fuss with you
So I'm gonna sit out on the couch
Don't try to talk to me
Cause boy I am blocking you out
I don't wanna hear a thing
Nothing you got to say
You should think twice
About the way you've been talking to me

Chorus

Better catch a cab
Or get on the bus
I ain't got no time for
Talking all that junk
Gonna pack my stuff
Is this what you want
I don't really care
Cause there is no more us

Better catch a cab
Or get on the bus
I ain't got no time for
Talking all that junk
Gonna pack my stuff
Is this what you want
I don't really care
Cause

[LeToya]
Ain't got no words for you
So you can stop callin' my friends
Tellin' them it wasn't your fault
And why I ain't letting you in
Too many times before
I let you back in my life
But this is a new day
And this won't go down tonight

Chorus

Better catch a cab
Or get on the bus
I ain't got no time for
Talking all that junk
Gonna pack my stuff
Is this what you want
I don't really care
Cause there is no more us

Better catch a cab
Or get on the bus
I ain't got no time for
Talking all that junk
Gonna pack my stuff
Is this what you want
I don't really care
Cause there is no more us

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Timbaland]
Introduced you to Dolce and Garbana
Advance you from the dirt bikes to Hondas
Took you from that terrible stress
Now you telling me that I am a bother
What kind of mess is that
To tell a man who put you on his team
That's just like killing a dream
(No no baby) That's how it seems
I worked hard to build up what I have for you
I pray to God, that there's not another man between me and you
So just tell me
There's no need to lie folk
While you sittin' with your eyes closed
Do you wanna talk, aight yo

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

Chorus
Better catch a cab
