The Writings On The Wall Lyrics

Intro
LeToya Barzini
I wanna thank you
For having you organize
This meeting here today

And Kelly Steracki
I also want to thank you
And all the other Dons of the four families
Beyonce Corleone, from the South West
Ah, LaTavia Clemenser from the Four-Four

Our objective of this meeting today
Is to discuss Destiny's Child's
Commandments of relationships

You know it's so unfortunate, so unnecessary
For us to end up with brokenhearts

Yes Godfather
Times have changed
Relationships aren't like the old days
You know?

See what we need is a man of his word
All this, uh cheating, uh backstabbing, uhm hating
No more, no more

But Godfather, how do we avoid all these mishaps?

It's obvious, the writing's on the wall

So Good
Hey how you doin
yeah I'm doin mighty fine
last time I seen you
its been a long time
Stop smilin at me
get that look off your face
please dont even front
stop bein so fake
I know you do not like me
yeah u made it very clear
You always talkin bout me
from what i hear
Always put me down
when you thought that you could
I want u to know that im doin so good

Hook:
Wasnt it u that said
I thought I was all that and you
said I didnt have a clue
Wasnt it you that said
that I wouldnt make it through
and wasnt it you that said
That I didnt look too good
that I wouldnt do too good
I'd never make it out the hood
I want u to know that im doin so good

Chorus:
so good so good so good
i know u hate it but I'm
so good so good so good
I'm doin so so so so so good
so good so good so good
its hard to face it but i'm
so good so good so good


This is for them haters
that said we wouldnt make it
now were doin platnum
and now u cant 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
didnt get caught up
and how that make you feel
all the things im doin
that you thought i never could
i want you to know that im doin so good

Hook:
Wasnt it u that said
I thought I was all that and you
said I didnt have a clue
Wasnt it you that said
that I wouldnt make it through
and wasnt 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 u to know that im doin so good

(CHORUS)




Bills,Bills,Bills
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

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


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

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

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

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)

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)


Confessions featuring Missy Elliot
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...
then we sat on the couch
he put his arms around my waist
knowin 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
about some 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 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...

Remember the time you wondered
where your money went?
I called my friends
and bought some clothes
and took the 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 my self
Don't get mad
cause i feel sad
thats 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
Never had any mind to play on you
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
Never had any mind to play on you
Look at all the hurt you put me through,
you know, you know(repeat)

(CHORUS)

Missy-(Confess, Come clean Boo, yo , what you feel about that,

I know you see me watching you
and i see you watching me
but boy your bodys callin

Im chillin at the spot
and my posse's four deep

i just might give you a try
ima write your number
in the palm of my hand
oops i forgot i got a man

chorus:
im thinkin myself

or should i should stay down wit my man

Now That She's Gone
chorus:
now that shes gone you wanna come back
is that a fact?
youve got it like that
you made me wait to long

on me you never spent a dime
but i was there for you
when you had nothing at all
then you got a lil job
and shes the one you call and

(CHORUS)

youve 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 aint no surprise
that you miss your water
cause your well went dry

(CHORUS 2x)

bridge:
understand, i understand,
why you think i want 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 i understand why you

after what you did to me
id you think you blinded me?
boy you know whatever you do

Oh baby where'd you go
I need you back wit' me, uh

Repeat above with Chorus 2

Where'd you go (Where'd you go)
Where'd you go, oh no
(So baby please, come back to me)


It has been five days
You haven't called me
Do you still want me, still need me
Am I on your mind
Are you thinking of me
Are you missing me like I miss you
Crying constantly
Runnin' out the 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

2 - 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

Repeat 2

Thinking of everything that you told me
Said you'd never leave me, deceive me
Got my mind thrown off
Did you just use me, boy you confused me
Gonna lose me
I can't deal with all the pain
And hell you put me through
Cause I'm still missing you, wanna be wit' you
Without you here I'm breaking down inside
Oh baby tell me why
Why did you hurt me, hurt me

Repeat 2
Repeat 2

It's my destiny to have you here with me
It's my destiny to have you here with me
It's my destiny to have you here with me
It's my destiny to have you here with me

Repeat 2 until fade




Hey Ladies
1 - Hey ladies why is it that men can go do us wrong
Why is it that we just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that we never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

Hey ladies why is it that men can go do us wrong
Why is it that we just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that we never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go

My man's been cheatin' on me
Been runnin' round here wit' this little tenderoni
And don't think I haven't noticed
He's been actin' funny
Takin' too long to call me
And somebody told me
That the worst thing of it all is that he gave her money

Now how he gonna give her my ends
That's a no, no
My first reactions telling me he's got to go, go
But I just ain't for sure
Should I just let him go
Oh I don't know

2 - Yeah he did me wrong
But I love him so
I keep holding on
But he got to go, he got to go
Thought he was the one
But now I don't know
After what he's done
He's got to go, he's got to go

Repeat 1

You keep rewinding it
Stopin' it and playing yourself over again
See I'm sick and tired of you doin' that playin' on me
Sick of your same routine
Now you've got to come clean
Cause it's killing me

Repeat 2
Repeat 1

I just don't understand
You get chance after chance
And you say that you'll do right
But I really do not know if you can
It's not in your plans
That you've shown
Can you change, don't think so
Now I gotta let you go

Got to go-go-go-go-go
Got to go-go-go-go-go

Repeat 1 until fade





If You Leave Featuring Next
1 - If you leave her, I'll leave him
We'll pack our bags, don't say a word
Let's go far away, to another place
Let's hide away, oh just you and me

I peeped game long time ago when he told me
(He's never seen the chick before)
He wouldn't give me no explanation
Cause he knows when I pack my bags it ain't for no vacation, so

I'm gonna do my thang, I'm leavin' his ass alone
(I'm gone, I'm gone)
Oh I'm movin' on my way
He's history, too late
The game is over
He'll see a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do

Repeat 1
Repeat 1

I called 612-555-2422 to find you
I packed my bags, gassed up the Jag
And told my dad you're the finest girl I never had

[Next]
And so my lady left a message said "page me"
I know it might sound crazy, but say you'll be my baby
She crushed my new Benz, slept with my best friend
Spent all my ends, it's got to end

Ooh, how do I know you won't hurt me like he has?
(I know you're afraid he'll call me back)

You've gotta have faith in me (you know I do)
I'd never play ya baby
Cause my love is all right
(It's all you'll ever need)

Cause I need someone for me
This love was meant to be
It's our destiny
Just run away with me, oh ho

2 - [Next]
If you leave him, I'll leave her
Let's pack our bags, don't say a word
Let's go far away, to another place
Let's hide away, oh just you and me

Repeat 1 & 2 until fade




Jumpin Jumpin

The club is full of ballers and they pockets full grown
And all you fellas leave your girl with her friends
Cause it's eleven thirty and the club is jumpin', jumpin'

2 - Boy he say he got a girl
Yeah it's true you got a man
But the party ain't gon' stop
So let's make it hot, hot

[Beyoncé]
Last weekend you stayed at home alone and lonely
Couldn't find your man, he was chillin' with his homies
This weekend you're going out
If he try to stop you, you're goin' off
You got your hair done and your nails done too
A new outfit and your Fennidi shoes
And when you're cool parlayin' at the hottest spot
Tonight you're gonna find the fellas
Rollin' in the Lexus, drops and Hummers

Repeat 2
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Repeat 2


[Beyoncé]
Call your boys cause tonight you're not gonna stay at home
Should tell your girl she ain't comin' tonight
You're goin' solo
Cut her off when she talk some noise
You know you got the right to get your party on
So get your haircut and your car washed too
Lookin' like a star in your Armani suit
You need to look your best cause you're turnin' heads tonight
You're gonna find a sexy chica that's gonna dance all night
If you wanna

Repeat 2

Repeat 1
Repeat 1

Sexy women do they dance
Fly ladies work your man
Balling fellas time to clown
We can get down now

Bounce baby, bounce, bo-bounce bounce, bo-bounce
Twirk it, twirk it
Shake baby, shake sha-shake shake
Work it, work it
Twist baby, twist tw-twist
You better dip that thing
(One more time papi's mommies)

Bounce baby, bounce, bo-bounce bounce, bo-bounce
Twirk it, twirk it
Shake baby, shake sha-shake shake
Work it, work it

Say My Name
1 - Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you, say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady, ain't 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 ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady, ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name

[Beyoncé]
Any other day, I would call, you would say
"Baby, how's your day?"
But today, it ain't the same
Every other word is "Uh huh", "Yeah, okay"
Could it be that you are at the crib with another lady

If you took it there, first of all, let me say
I am not the one to sit around and be played
So prove yourself to me
I'm the girl that you claim
Why don't you say the things that you said to me yesterday

2 - I know you say that I am assuming things
Somethings going down, that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be no reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
Cause I know how you usually do
When you're saying everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth
If somebody's there, then tell me who

Repeat 1

[Beyoncé]
What is up with this
Tell the truth, who you wit'
How would you like it if I came over with my clique
Don't try to change it now
Say you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago, 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
Getting caught up in your game
When you can not say my name

Repeat 2
Repeat 1

[Rodney Jenkins](Destiny's Child)
Where my ladies at
(Yea yea yea yea yea yea)
Can you say that, come on
(Yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea)
All the girls say

What? I can't hear you
(Yea yea yea yea)
All my ladies say
(Yea yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea)
All the girls say

Break it down
(Oh woo, oh)
Oh oh, D.C., take it to the bridge
Come on

She Can't Love You
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 can't 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 ya'll touching, you pretend it's me and you

1 - And there's no way
Her love's as good as mine
There's no reason
For you to waste your time

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

She can't hold you like I can
Boy you're 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 standing by my man

Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Repeat 1

There's no way, there's no way
That her love could be, could be as good as mine
There's no reason, no reason
For you to even go and waste your time
Your time

Repeat 1 until fade





Stay
baby i want for nothing
just yout tender sweet loving
i know youve 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' round
is that the only way to win your heart?

well if i loved you a little bitlonger
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

ill be, be yours forever
but can we keep us together?
i know the time is drawing near
i promised you has it been a year
baby now im 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 dont wanna do you that way

im kinda scared
but im then kinda willing
will you promise me just one thing?
no matter what you're gonna stay...
(CHORUS 2x)
