If

[Verse 1: 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 (for you) I ain’t mad at you [Beyoncé] If you get to feeling stressed up in your chest thinking that you about to lose (baby it’s true) And If you’re losing out on sleep [Michelle] Home worrying about me [Kelly] That’s how it be [Chorus: All] If you don’t know now you know You’re gonna miss (my love) And I ain't stressing 'bout a dog gone thing Cause I was true when I gave you (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 [Verse 2: 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) [Beyoncé] 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 loving you like I used to do [Chorus] [Bridge: All] 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, no more crying, no more trying I would rather be alone (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: All]
