Once a Fool

[Chorus: Beyoncé & LaTavia / Kelly & LeToya]

I was once a fool, too

I know what he's puttin' you through

So don't tell me what I should do

I ain't gon' end up like you

His love has gotten you blind

Wake up and use your mind

I let you do your thing

Stop playa hatin' on me

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]

Kelly, ain't it a shame?

That boy you call your man, he's runnin' game

Don't mean to call you out, but you gettin' played

I'm just lookin' out, don't let him do you that way

[Chorus: Beyoncé & LaTavia / Kelly & LeToya]

I was once a fool, too

I know what he's puttin' you through

So don't tell me what I should do

I ain't gon' end up like you

His love has gotten you blind

Wake up and use your mind

I let you do your thing

Stop playa hatin' on me

[Verse 2: Kelly]

Beyoncé, oh, Beyoncé, yeah-yeah

Don't talk about my man, 'cause yours was fade

You woke up, he was sprung, you were oh so in love

But I let you be, so let me be alone

Let me be alone

[Bridge: Beyoncé]

Whoa, no way will I stay

And watch him play you for a fool

Don't let a player play on you

[Chorus: Beyoncé & LaTavia / Kelly & LeToya]

I was once a fool, too

I know what he's puttin' you through

So don't tell me what I should do

I ain't gon' end up like you

His love has gotten you blind

Wake up and use your mind

I let you do your thing

Stop playa hatin' on me

[Break: Beyoncé & Kelly]

I'm just lookin' out

You're my girl, no doubt

I know how men can be

I just think he loves me

Don't be a fool no more

I can't let him go

I'm tryna make you see

I still think he loves me

[Verse 3: William Floyd]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now, check it

You don't know how I feel, you need to stop trippin'

You don't even know the deal, for real

Nothin' but love and respect for this girl

That's why she's laced with these diamonds and pearls

Now I know she's been hurt in the past

Gon' find a way to make this love affair last

You got too much time on your hands

You need to stop hatin' and find your own man

Pecan-tanned first child, love the sand

Baby girl, for you I tip all this land

'Gainst the forces of Satan, we gotta make a stand

We could be lovers and the best of friends

A legion of swords couldn't make me retreat

That just shows how much your love inspires me

When I look in your eyes and I know there's a smile

Put it all together, you're my Destiny's Child

[Chorus: Beyoncé & LaTavia / Kelly & LeToya]

I was once a fool, too

I know what he's puttin' you through

So don't tell me what I should do

I ain't gon' end up like you

His love has gotten you blind

Wake up and use your mind

I let you do your thing

Stop playa hatin' on me

I was once a fool, too

I know what he's puttin' you through

So don't tell me what I should do

I ain't gon' end up like you

His love has gotten you blind

Wake up and use your mind

I let you do your thing

Stop playa hatin' on me
