Say My Name Lyrics

	


Say My Name Background Vocals: Rodney Jerkins 



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

Repeat 2

Repeat 1 until fade

It's a girl calling her bf, and realizing he has another girl in the house. Since he is with another woman there, he can't say tell Beyonce that loves her or call her baby, much less say her name.

He's trying to play it cool and say no one's there, but Beyonce heard the girl! When he realizes that he is in trouble, he says that he has to go (even though he had just gotten home) What a jerk!
