Ooh

[Michelle]
If I don't pick up the phone 
Like I used to (for you) 
Don't you take it personal 

[Kelly] 
If I don't do all the things that 
I used to do (to you) 
I ain't mad at you 

[Beyonce]
If you get to feelin' stressed 
Up in your chest 
Thinkin' that you about to lose 
(Baby, it's true) 
And if you losing out on sleep 
Home worrying about me 
(That's how it be) 

[chorus] 
If you don't know 
Now you know 
You're gonna miss my love (my love)
And I ain't stressing 'bout a doggone thing 
Cause I was true when I gave you (my love)
My love 

If you search you will never find 
Another love like (my love) 
You're going to miss me 
I ain't got time, while you sit around 
And play with my love (my love)

[Michelle] 
If you think I caught a feeling 
When I heard about that other chick (no) 
I already knew about it

[Kelly]
I just needed time just to clear my mind 
And ask myself 
(Why I didn't handle) 

[Beyonce]
If you would have taken care of home 
Instead of leaving me alone 
I'd still be right there with you 
Taking care of you 
Steady loving you 
Like I used to do 

[chorus]
 
There was once a time I blamed myself 
For what was wrong 
I can see so clearly now 
Because you are gone 
That's how I spent all my time 
When you weren't home 
Playin' around with them raggedy heffas (yeah) 
No more stressing 
No more crying 
No more trying 
I would rather be alone 
I'd rather be all by myself 
Cause this valuable heart of mine 
Was yours until I realized 
Finally, I opened my eyes 

Oooh

[Kelly spoken]
You see, ladies 
I know I knew better 
What was I thinking 
He going to miss me when I'm gone 

[chorus]
