If

[Verse 1: Michelle, Kelly, Beyoncé, (All)]

If I don’t pick up the phone like I used to for you

Don’t you take it personal

If I don’t do all the things that I used to do to you

I ain’t mad at you

If you get to feeling stressed up in your chest, thinkin' that you about to lose (Baby, it’s true)

And if you’re losing out on sleep

Home, worryin' about me (Ooh)

That’s how it be

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Michelle, All]

If you don’t know

Now, you know you’re gonna miss my love

And I ain't stressing 'bout a doggone thing

'Cause I was true when I gave you my love

My love, yeah

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 love

My love

[Verse 2: Michelle, Kelly, Beyoncé]

If you think I caught a feeling when I heard about that other chick

No, I already knew about it

I just needed time, just to clear my mind and ask myself why I didn't handle him

If you woulda taken care of home, instead of leaving me alone

I still would be right there with you, taking care of you

Steady lovin' you, like I used to do, ooh

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Michelle, All, Beyoncé]

If you don’t know

Now, you know you’re gonna miss my love

And I ain't stressing 'bout a doggone thing

'Cause I was true when I gave you my love

My love, yeah

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 love

My love, my love

[Bridge: All, Michelle, Beyoncé]

There once was 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

Playing around with them raggedy heifers

There’ll be no more stressing (Stressing), no more crying, no more trying

I would rather be alone, ooh (I’d rather be all by myself, yeah)

Because 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 gon' miss me when I'm gone

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Michelle, All]

If you don’t know

Now, you know you’re gonna miss my love

And I ain't stressing 'bout a doggone thing

'Cause I was true when I gave you my love

My love, yeah

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 love

My love
