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
Repeat 2
Repeat 1 until fade
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?
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
Any other day, I would call, you would say
"Baby, how's your day?"
But today, it ain't the same

this song is about a women who has a boyfriend and she suspects him cheating on her because he wont call her name and he barley talk then she hear other people
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!
ye i agree! i love this song, you really get that she worries and suspects something!
