If Lyrics & Chords By Destiny's Child

Ooh-ooh-ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh...
Whoo-whoo-ooh, ooh...
Whoo-whoo-ooh...

[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...
[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 (ooh), [Kelly:] that's how it be...

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 (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?")
[Beyoncé:]
If you would've taken care of home, 'stead of leaving me alone,
(I) still would be right there with you,
Taking care of you, steady loving you, like I used to do... ooh...

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 (my love), 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 home,
[Beyoncé:] (Playing around with them raggedy heifers! Yeah...)
[All:] There'll be no more stressin' (stressin'), no more cryin', no more tryin' - I would rather be alone!
[Beyoncé:] (I'd rather be all by myself, yeah...)
'Cause this valuable heart of mine was yours until I realized, finally opened my eyes...

[Kelly, spoken:]
You see, ladies... I know I knew better!
What was I thinking?
He gon' miss me when I'm gone.

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 (my love), my love...

Whoo-ooh-ooh...
Whoo, ooh...
Whoo-ooh-ooh.
