Intro
Kelly: LeToya Barzini, I want to thank you...
for helping me organize this meeting...
LeToya: Yeah.
Kelly: ...today.
LeToya: And Kelly Steracki,
I also want to thank you...
and the other dons of the four families.
Beyonce Corleone from the South-West.
Uh, LaTavia Clemster from the four-four.
Beyonce: Our objective of this meeting today
is to discuss Destiny's Child's
comandments of relationships.
Kelly: You knows, it's so unfornunate,
so unnecesary...for us to end up broken hearts.
LaTavia: Yes godfather, times have changed.
Relationships aren't like the old days, you know.
LeToya: See what we need is a man of his word.
All this, uh, cheating...backstabbing...hating.
No more, no more.
LaTavia: But Godfather, how do we fool these mishaps?
Beyonce: It's obvious the writing's on the wall.

So Good
Verse 1: [Beyonce]

Hey how you doin
yeah I'm doin mighty fine
last time I seen you
it's been a long time
Stop smiling at me
get that look off your face
please don't even front
stop being so fake
I know you do not like me
yeah you made it very clear
You always talking bout me
from what I hear
Always put me down
when you thought that you could
I want you to know that I'm doing so good

Hook:

Wasn't it you that said
I thought I was all that and you
said I didnt have a clue
Wasn't it you that said
that I wouldn't make it through
and wasn't it you that said
That I didn't look too good
that I wouldn't do too good
I'd never make it out the hood
I want you to know that I'm doing so good

Chorus:

So Good So Good So Good
I know you hate it but I'm
So Good So Good So Good
I'm doing so so so so so good
So Good So Good So Good
It's hard to face it but I'm
So Good So Good So Good

Verse 2: [Beyonce']

This is for them haters
that said we wouldn't make it
Now were doing platnum
and now you can't take it
For all the people round us
that have been neg-a-tive
look at us now see how we live
I stayed down with my people
all the ones that keep it real
didn't get caught up
and how that make you feel
all the things I'm doing
that you thought I never could
I want you to know that I'm doin so good

Hook:

Wasnt it you that said
I thought I was all that and you
said I didn't have a clue
Wasn't it you that said
that I wouldn't make it through
and wasn't it you that said
That I didnt look too good
Look at me, Now aint GOD good?
I'd never make it out the hood
I want you to know that I'm doing so good

(Chorus)

Bills, Bills, Bills
Verse 1: [Beyonce']

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 you did no more
You're slowly making me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week

[Kelly]

You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me,
why haven't I found another
A baller, when times get hard
Need Someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about

Chorus:

Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Can you pay my automo-bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through

Verse 2: [Beyonce']

Now you've been maxing out my cards
Gave me bad credit
buying me gifts with my own ends
Haven't paid the first bill
But your steady heading to the mall
Going on shopping sprees
Perpertrating to your friends
like you be balling
And then you use my cell phone
Calling whoever you thinks at home
And then when the bill comes
All the sudden you be acting dumb
Don't know where none of the calls come from
When your mama's number
here more than once

[Kelly]

You triflin',
good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another
A baller, when times get hard
Need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about

Chorus:

Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Can you pay my automo-bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through

Confessions
Verse 1: [Beyonce']

The day you pissed me off I told Mike to pick me up
I told him you was buggin' and I don't like to fuss
He said he would look out for me if I needed a friend
He took me to his house and then he invited me in
When we sat on th ecoach he put his arms around my waist
Knowing I need lovin' then he gently grabbed my face
He kissed me like a guy could never kiss a girl before
So you know what happened baby I need to say no more

(Chorus)
I'm just confessing
'Bout the things I did
I might as well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just confessing
'Bout the things I did
I might as well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just guessing
That you're through with me
Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just guessing
Are you through with me
Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that...

Verse 2: [Beyonce']

Remember the time you wondered where your money went
I called my friends and bought some clothes and took them on a trip
I met a dude that had a jeep and we talked all the time
He asked me 'bout my man and you know that I had to lie
He thought I had no man and I was chillin' by myself
Don't get mad cause I feel sad that's why I must confess
So many times I wanted to let you know my dirt
But everytime you said you loved me I knew it would hurt

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
(I was mad what was I to do)
(I never had it in mind to play on you)
(But look at all the hurt you put me through)
(I can't tell a lie so I'm tellin the truth)
(I was mad what was I to do)
(I never had it in mind to play on you)
(But look at all the hurt you put me through)
(You know, you know)
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Bug-A-Boo
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
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my emails stop
Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin what? you buggin who?
You buggin me!
And dont you see it aint cool

Verse 1: [Beyonce']

It's not hot that you be callin me
stressin me pagin my beeper
you're just non-stop
And its not hot that you be leavin me
messages every 10 minutes
and then you stop by
When I first met you,
you were cool
But it was game you had me fooled
Cause 20 minutes after
i gave you my number
you already had my mailbox full

Hook:

So what you bought a pair of shoes
What now i guess you think I owe you
You dont have to call as much as you do
I'll give em back to be through with you
And so what my momma likes you
what now i guess you think i will too
Even if the pope he said he likes you too
i dont really care cause you're a bug a boo

(Chorus)

Verse 2: [Beyonce']

It's not hot
that when in blockin your phone number
you call me from over
your best friends house
And it's not hot that
I cant even go out with my girlfriends
without you trackin me down
You need to chill out with that mess
Cause you cant keep havin me stressed
Cause everytime my phone rings
it seems to be you
and im prayin that it is
someone else

(Hook)

(Chorus)

Bridge:

When you call me on the phone you're buggin me
When you follow me around
you're buggin me
Everything you do be buggin me
You buggin me, you buggin me
When you show up at my door
you buggin me
When you open up your mouth you buggin me
Everytime I see your face
youre buggin me
You're buggin me your buggin me

(Chorus until fade)

Temptation
Chorus:

I know you see me watching you
and I see you watching me
but boy your bodys calling
the temptation is killin me-repeat-4x

Verse 1: [Beyonce']

I'm chillin' at the spot
and my posse's four deep
had my man on my mind
turn my head what did I see?
The fellas looking fly,
there was one that caught my eye
so I bit my lip
switched my hips
as I walked by
saying,sexy boy, you so fly
I just might give you a try
I'ma write your number
in the palm of my hand
oops I forgot I got a man

Chorus:

I'm thinking myself
should I even take a chance
Should I do what's on my mind
or should I should stay down with my man
This boy he got me feining
I'm wanting him so bad
should I chill one night with you
and risk everything I have
saying, sexy boy you so fly
I wish I could give you a try
but my man's at home
Waiting for me by the phone
Sorry can't get my groove on!

(chorus)

Bridge:

Temptations is calling
I be wanting you so bad I could cry
relationships calling me
to do whats wrong but I gotta do right(-repeat-)

(chorus)

Now That She's Gone
Chorus:

Now that shes gone you wanna come back
is that a fact?
You've got it like that
You made me wait to long
I'm gone (repeat)

Verse 1:

Take her to the movies
dinner all the time
Shoppin spree's for her
On me you never spent a dime
but Iwas there for you
When you had nothing at all
Then you got a lil job
and shes the one you call and

(Chorus)

verse 2:

You've taken me for granted
but you only get one chance
Then you left me hurting
and it wont happen again
So she finally left you,
it ain't no surprise
That you miss your water
cause your well went dry

(Chorus 2x)

Bridge:

Understand, I understand,
Why you think Iwant you back
after what you did to me.
Did you think you blinded me?
boy you know whatever you do
it will all come back to you
Cause you tried to play me like a fool
understand Iunderstand why you
think I want you back
after what you did to me
Do you think you blinded me?
boy you know whatever you do
it will all come back to you

(Chorus)

Where'd You Go
Oh baby where'd you go
I need you back with me
oh baby where'd you go
I need you back with me
oh whoa whoa whoa whoa
where'd you go
so baby please come back to me

Verse 1:

It has been 5 days
you haven't called me
Do you still wan't me? still need me?
am I on your mind?
are you thinking of me?
Are you missing me like I miss you?
crying constantly running out of
reasons why I haven't heard from you
I'm worried
got me doin crazy things
I can't even sleep
gotta get you back to me

Chorus:

Whered you go?
I don't know
I know that I need you in this
heart of mine
so baby please

I know that I cant live my life
without you
Where'd you go? I don't know
I know that I need you in this
heart of mine
So baby please come back to me
I know I can't live my life without you

Verse 2:

Thinking of everything that you
told me
Said youd never leave me deceive me
got my mind thrown off
did you just use me?
boy you confuse me
don't lose me
I can't deal with all the pain and
hell you put me through
cause im still missing you
I wannabe with you
without you here I'm breakin down
Inside oh baby tell me why,

Verse 1: [Beyonce']

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)

Verse 2: [Beyonce']

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)

(Chorus)

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yea..yeah
(can you say that? c'mon)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah ...yeah

Yeah , yeah yeah yeah

OOO uuuu OO uu OOOO uu OOOOOO
(yea yea yea)
(dc take it to the bridge c'mon)

(Bridge)
(Chorus 2x)

She Can't Love You
Verse 1:

I saw your new girlfriend
the other day
and I expected for her to be so
much more than she was
I checked out her style,
the way she smiled
the way she moved,
the things she said
The way she looked at me like,
I got your man

She cant love you like I can
all of her love just can't compare
to what I have
She can't touch you
like I do
Cause when y'all touchin,
you pretend it's me and you

Chorus:

And theres no way her love's
as good as mine
There's no reason for you to waste
your time

Verse 2:

When we were together
you told me what you didn't like
and you went out and got exactly
that type
Except that your new girl is
nothing compared to me
Everything that she did wrong
I always did right

She can't hold you like I can
boy you a fool if you can't
Realize what you had
she can't feel you
like I can
Cause I'm a girl that's always
standin' by my man

(Chorus 2x)

keep repeating w/ adlibs

Stay
Verse 1:

Baby I want for nothing
just yout tender sweet loving
I know you've got your things to do
but tell me what means more to you
Hanging out with me
or with your boys
Sometimes I do get lonely
with no you and no one to hold me
You want so much to lay me down
is that what keeps you hangin' around
Is that the only way to win your heart?

Well if I loved you a little bit longer
if my love was a little bit stronger
would you stay, stay?
Baby please stay
if I granted all of your wishes
give you more than
touches and kisses
Would you stay, stay?
I need you to stay

I'll be, be your's forever
but can we keep us together?
I know the time is drawing near
I promised you has it been a year
Baby now I'm ready will you stay?
sta-ay

(Chorus)

Bridge:

Every night I lay and think about it
if you love me you could live without it
but I don't wanna do you that way
no no, no no no
I don't know exactly what I'm feeling
I'm kinda scared
but I'm then kinda willing
Will you promise me just one thing?
no matter what you're gonna stay...

(Chorus 2x)
