All:

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

Michelle:

If I don't pick up the phone like I use to (for you)

Don't you take it personal.

Kelly:

If I don't do all the things that I use to do (to you)

I ain't mad at you.

Beyonce:

If you get to feeling stressed up in your chest thinking that you're about to lose

(baby it's true)

And If you're losing out on sleep

Michelle:

Home worrying about me

(ooh)

Kelly:

That's how it be

Chorus:

If you don't know

Now you know you're gonna miss (my love)

And I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing

Cuz 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 gonna miss me.

I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my (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 him)

Beyonce:

If you would've taken care of home instead of leaving me alone (I)

Still would be right there with you

Taking care of you

Steady loving you

Like I use to do

ooh.

Chorus:

If you don't know

Now you know you're gonna miss (my love)

And I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing

Cuz 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 gonna miss me

I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)

My love

All:

There was once a time I blame myself for what was wrong.

Michelle:

I can see so clearly now because you are gone.

All:

That's how I spent all my time when you weren't at home

Beyonce:

Playing around with them raggedy heifers

All:

There'll be no more stressing

No more crying

No more trying

I would rather be alone

(I'd rather be all by myself)

Cuz this valuable heart of mine was yours until I realized

Finally opened my eyes

Spoken (Kelly):

You see ladies, I know I knew better.

What was I thinking? He gone miss me when I'm gone.

Chorus:

If you don't know

Now you know you're gonna miss (my love)

And I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing

Cuz 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 gonna miss me

I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)

My love.
