Intro [The Writing's On The Wall]
Destiny's Child

[Kelly]
LeToya Mazteni,
I wanna thank you,
For helping me organize,
This meeting, here, today

[LeToya]
And Kelly Sterraki,
I also want to thank you,
And all the other Dons of the four families,

Beyonce Corleone, from the South West,

Ah, LaTavia Menza from the Four-Four,

[LaTavia]
Our objective of this meeting today,
Is to discuss, Destiny's Child's
Commandments, of relationships

[Kelly]
You know it's so unfortunate, so unnecessary
For us to end up, with broken hearts

[LaTavia]
Yes Godfather,
Times have changed,
Relationships aren't like the old days,
You know

[LeToya]
See what we need, is a man of his word,
All this, uh, cheating, backstabbing, hating
No more, no more

[LaTavia]
But Godfather, how do we avoid all these mishaps?

[Beyoncé]
It's obvious, the writing's on the wall

Song: So Good
Artist: Destiny's Child
Album: TWOTW

(Beyonce`)
Thou shall not hate

[Beyoncé]
Hey how ya doin', yeah I'm doin' mighty fine
Last time I seen ya, it's been a long time
Stop smilin' at me, get that look off your face
Please don't even front, stop bein' so fake
I know you do not like me and you made it very clear
You're always talkin' about me from what I hear
Always put me down when you thought that you could
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good

[Kelly]
Wasn't it you that said
I thought I was all that and you
Said I didn't have a clue
Wasn't it you that said
That I wouldn't make it through
And wasn't it you that said
That I didn't look too good,
That I wouldn't do too good
I'd never make it out the 'hood
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good

(Chorus)
So good, so good, so good
I know you hate it, but I'm

So good, so good, so good
I'm doing so, so, so, so, so good
So good, so good, so good
It's hard to face it, but I'm
So good, so good, so good

[Beyoncé]
This is for them hatas that said we wouldn't make it
Now we doin' platinum and now you can't take it
For all the people 'round us that have been negative
Look at us now and see how we live
I stayed down wit' my people, all the ones that keep it real
Didn't get caught up, and how'd it make you feel?
All the things I'm doin' that you thought I never could
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good

[Kelly]
Wasn't it you that said
I thought I was all that and you
Said I didn't have a clue
Wasn't it you that said
That I wouldn't make it through
And wasn't it you that said
That I wouldn't do too good
Look at me, now ain't God good
Now I made it out the 'hood
I want you to know that I'm doin' so good

[Beyoncé]
I'm doing so, so, so, so, so
I'm doing so, so, so, so, so
I'm doing so, so, so, so, so good
Good, good, good, good, good
I'm doing so, so, so, so, so, so, so
I'm doing so, so, so, so, so, so, so
I'm doing so, so, so, so, so, so, so good
Good, good, good, good, good

Song: Bills, Bills, Bills
Artist: Destiny's Child
Album: TWOTW Thou shall pay bills

[Beyoncé]
At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain't never been
But now, you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things you did no more
You're slowly making me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car (car)
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week

[Kelly]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven't I found another?
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you
Who don't know what a man's about

(Chorus)
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through

[Beyoncé]
Now you've been maxing out my card (card)
Gave me bad credit, buyin' me gifts with my own ends
Haven't paid the first bill
But you're steady headin' to the mall
Goin' on shopping sprees
Perpetrating to your friends like you be ballin'
And then you use my cell phone (phone)
Callin' whoever that you think's at home
And then when the bill comes
All of a sudden you be acting dumb
Don't know where none of these calls come from
When your momma's number's here more than once

(Hook)
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another

Song: Confessions

(Kelly)
Thou shall confess

[Missy]
Uh, uh, oh

(Bee)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh,ooh
ooh, ooh,

[Missy]
Verse one

[Beyoncé]
The day you pissed me off
I told Mike to pick me up
I told him you was buggin' and
I don't like to fuss
He said he would look out for me
If I needed a friend
He took me to his house and then he
Invited me in
Then we sat on the couch,
He put his arms around my waist
Knowin' I need lovin'
Then he gently grabbed my face
He kissed me like a guy could never
Kiss a girl before
So you know what happened baby
I need to say no more

(Chorus)
I'm just confessing 'bout the things I did
I might as well come clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just confessing 'bout the things I did
I might as well come clean
What you feel about that baby

(Chorus 2)
I'm just guessing that you're through with me
Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that baby
I'm just guessing, are you through with me
Cause I just came clean
What you feel about that

[Missy]
Verse two

[Beyoncé]
Remember the time you wondered
Where your money went
I called my friends
And bought some clothes
And took them on a trip
I met a dude that had a Jeep
And we talked all the time
He asked me about my man
And you know that I had to lie
He thought I had no man
And I was chillin' by myself
Don't get mad cause I feel sad
That's why I must confess
Too many times I wanted to
Let you know my dirt
But everytime you said you loved me
I knew it would hurt

(Beyonce`)
Umm ay lai lai lai lai umm

(Hook)
I was mad, what was I to do?
Never had any mind to play on you
But look at all the hurt you put me through
I can't tell a lie so I'm tellin' the truth
I was mad, what was I to do?
Never had any mind to play on you
But look at all the hurt you put me through
You know, you know

(Hook w/oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I was mad, what was I to do?
Never had any mind to play on you
But look at all the hurt you put me through
I can't tell a lie so I'm tellin' the truth
I was mad, what was I to do?
Never had any mind to play on you
But look at all the hurt you put me through
You know, you know

[Missy]
Confess
Come clean, boo
Yo, what you feel about that
What you feel about, uh
What you feel about that
Heh heh, confessing baby
Misdemeanor, Destiny, uh uh

Song: Bug A Boo
Artist: Destiny's Child
Album: TWOTW (LaTavia)
Thou shall not bug

(Chorus)
You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
Break my lease so I can move
Cause you a bug-a-boo, a bug-a-boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my e-mail stop
Cause you a bug-a-boo
You're buggin'
What ya buggin'? Who ya buggin'? Me
And don't you see it ain't cool

[Beyoncé]
It's not hot
That you be callin' me, stressin' me
Pagin' my beeper, you're just non-stop
And it's not hot
That you be leavin' me messages every ten minutes
And then you stop by
When I first met you, you were cool
But it was game, you had me fooled
Cause twenty minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full

(Hook)
So what?!
You bought a pair of shoes
What now, I guess you think I owe you
You don't have to call as much as you do
I'd give 'em back to be through with you
And so what?!
My momma liked you
What now, I guess you think I will too
Even if the Pope said he liked you too

I don't really care cause you're a bug-a-boo

[Beyoncé]
It's not hot
That when I'm blockin' your phone number
You call me over your best friend's house
And it's not hot
That I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin' me down
You need to chill out wit' that mess
Cause you can't keep having me stressed
Cause everytime my phone rings
It seems to be you and I'm prayin' that it is someone else

I don't give a damn cause you're a bug-a-boo

(Hook 2)
When you callin' me on the phone you're buggin' me
When you're followin' me around you're buggin' me
Everything you do be buggin' me
You're buggin' me, you're buggin' me
When you show up at my door you're buggin' me
When you open up your mouth you're buggin' me
Everytime I see your face, you're buggin' me
You're buggin' me, you're buggin' me, buggin'

Song: Temptations Artist: Destiny's Child Album: TWOTW (Beyonce`) Thou shall not give into temptation

(Chorus)
I know you see me watchin' you
And I see you watchin' me
Cuz boy your body's callin' me
Temptation is killin' me
I know you see me watchin' you
And I see you watchin' me
Cuz boy your body's callin' me
Temptation is killin' me
(Repeat)

[Beyoncé]
I'm chillin' at this spot and my posse’s bo deep
Had my man on my mind, turn my head what did I see
The fella’s lookin' fly, and there was one that caught my eye
So I bit my lip, switched my hips
As I walked by

Sayin' sexy boy, you so fly
I just might give you a try
I'ma write your number in the palm of my hand
Oops, I forgot, I got a man

[Beyoncé]
I'm thinkin' to myself
Should I even take the chance
Should I do what's on my mind
Or should I stay down wit' my man
This boy got he me fienin’ and I'm wantin' him so bad
Should I chill one night with him and risk everything I had

Sayin' sexy boy, you so fly
I wish I could give you a try
But my man's at home, waitin' for me by the phone
Sorry, can't get my groove on

(Hook)
Temptation is calling
Papi wanting you so bad I could cry
Relationship's calling me
To do what's wrong but I gotta do right

Temptation is calling
Papi wantin’ you so bad I could cry
Relationship's calling me to do...

(Beyonce`)
The wrong things but I wanna do right

[Beyoncé]
Temptation is calling
Papi wanting you so bad I could cry
Relationship calling me
To do what's wrong but I gotta do right
Temptation is calling
Papi wantin' you so bad I could cry
Relationship calling me to do
To do what's wrong but I gotta do right

Song: Now That She's Gone
Artist: Destiny's Child
Album: TWOTW

(LaTavia)
Thou shall not, think you got it like that

(Chorus)
Now that she's gone you wanna come back
Is that a fact
You've got it like that
You made me wait too long,
I'm gone
Now that she's gone you wanna come back
Is that a fact
Think you've got it like that
You made me wait too long,
I'm gone

[Kelly]
Take her to the movies
Dinner all the time
Shopping sprees for her
On me you never spend a dime
But I was there for you
When you had nothing at all
Then you got a little job and
She's the one you call
And now

[Beyoncé]
Oh no, you're taking me for granted
But you only get once chance
Then you left me hurting
And it won't happen again, no, no
So she finally left you
It ain't no surprise
That you missed your water
Cause your well went dry, oh oh
Now

(Hook)
Understand, I understand
Why you think I don’t want you back
After what you did to me
Did you think you blinded me
Boy you know whatever you do
It will all come back on you
Cause you tried to play me like a fool

(Hook...)
Understand, I understand
Why you think I don’t want you back
After what you did to me
Did you think you blinded me
Boy you know whatever you do
It will all come back to you-o-o

(ad-libs)
Now that she's gone
(You, crawlin' back
Got it like that)
You made me wait too long
Oh, I'm gone
Now that she's gone
(She's gone
Come back, oh)
You made me wait too long
(Too long too long too long
I'm gone)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Where'd you go, oh no
(So baby please, come back to me)

[Beyoncé]
It has been five days
You haven't called me
Do you still want me, still need me
Am I on your mind
Are you thinking of me
Are you missing me like, I miss you
Crying constantly
Runnin' out the reasons
Why I haven't heard from you, I'm worried
Got me doin' crazy things
I can't even sleep, gotta get you back to me

(Chorus)
Where'd you go, I don't know
I know that I need you in this heart of mine
So baby please, come back to me
I know I can't live my life without you
(Repeat)

[Beyoncé]
Thinking of everythang, that you told me
Said you'll never leave me, deceive me
Got my mind thrown off
Did you just use me, boy you confuse me
Gonna lose me
I can't deal with all the pain
And hell you put me through
Cuz I'm still missing you, wanna be wit' you
Without you here I'm breaking down inside
Oh baby tell me why
Why did you hurt me, hurt me

(Chorus)
Where'd you go, I don't know
I know that I need you in this heart of mine
So baby please, come back to me
I know I can't live my life without you
(Repeat)

DC (Beyonce)
(Destiny's Child help me out)
It's my destiny to have you here with me

It's my destiny to have you here with me
It's my destiny to have you here with me

(Chorus)
Where'd you go, I don't know
I know that I need you in this heart of mine
So baby please, come back to me
I know I can't live my life without you

Song: Hey Ladies
Artist: Destiny's Child
Album: TWOTW

(LaTavia) Thou shall know when he's got to go

(Chorus)
Hey ladies why is it that men can go do us wrong
Why is it that we just decide to keep holdin' on
Why is it that we never seem to just have the strength to leave
But he's got to go, he's got to go
(Repeat)

[Beyoncé]
My man's been cheatin' on me
Been runnin' round here
Wit' this little tenderoni
And don't think I haven't noticed
He's been actin' funny
Takin' too long to call me
And somebody told me
That the worst thing of it all
Is that he gave her money
Now how he gonna give her my ends
That's a no, no
My first reactions telling me
He's got to go, go
But I just ain't fo sho
Should I just let him go
Oh I don't know

(Hook)
Yeah he did me wrong
But I love him so
I keep holding on
But he got to go, he got to go
Thought he was the one
But now I don't know
After what he's done
He's got to go, he's got to go

[Beyoncé]
He keep rewinding it
Stopin' it and playing yourself over again
See I'm sick and tired of you
doin' that same ol’ thing
Sick of your same routine
Now you've got to come clean
Cause it's killing me

(Hook)
Yeah he did me wrong
But I love him so
I keep holding on
But he got to go, he got to go
Thought he was the one
But now I don't know
After what he's done
He's got to go, he's got to go

[Beyoncé]
I just don't understand it
You get chance after chance
And you say that you'll do right
But I really do not know if you can
It's not in your plans
That you've shown
Can you change, don't think so
Now I gotta let you go
Got to go-go-go-go-go
Got to go-go-go-go-go

Song: If You Leave
Artist: Destiny's Child Feat/Next
Album: TWOTW

(Kelly)
Thou shall move on to the next

(Chorus 1)
If you leave her, I'll leave him
We'll pack our bags, don't say a word
Let's go far away, to another place
Let's hide away, oh just you and me

(Beyoncé)
I peeped game long time ago when he told me
(He's never seen the chick before)
He wouldn't give me no explanation
Cause he knows when I pack my bags it ain't for no vacation, so

(Destiny's Child)
I'm gonna do my thang, I'm leavin' his ass alone
(I'm gone, I'm gone)
Oh I'm movin' on my way
He's history, too late
Every game is over
He'll see a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do

(Chorus 1)
If you leave her, I'll leave him
We'll pack our bags, don't say a word
Let's go far away, to another place
Let's hide away, oh just you and me
(Repeat)

(R.L.)
I called 612-555-2422 to find you
I packed my bags, gassed up the Jag
And tell my dad you're the finest girl I never had

(Next)
And so my lady left a message said "page me"
Know it might sound crazy, but say you'll be my baby
She crushed my new Benz, slept with my best friend
Spend all my ends, it's got to end

[Beyoncé] (DC)
Ooh, how do I know you won't hurt me like he has
(I know you're fraid’ he'll want me back)

(R.L.)[Bee]{Next}
You've gotta have faith in me [you know I do]
I'd never play ya baby
Cause my love is all right
{It's all you'll ever need}

[Beyoncé] Cause I need someone for me

[R.L.] This love was meant to be

[Beyoncé] It's our destiny

[Both] Just run away with me, oh ho

[Next]
If you leave him, I'll leave her
Let's pack our bags, don't say a word
Let's go far away, to another place
Let's hide away, oh just you and me

Sexy women do dat dance

[Beyoncé]
Last weekend you stayed at home alone and lonely
Couldn't find your man, he was chillin' with his homies
This weekend you're going out
If he try to stop you, you're goin' off
You got your hair done and your nails done too
New outfit and your Fendi shoes
You're in your crew parlayin' at the hottest spot
Tonight you're gonna find the fellas
Rollin' in the Lexus, Trucks and Hummers

(Hook 2)
Sexy women do dat dance
Fly ladies work your man
Ballin’ fellas time to clown
We can get down now

[Beyoncé]
Call your boys cuz tonight you're not gonna stay at home, you
Should tell your girl she ain't comin' ta-night
You're goin' solo
Cut her off if she talk some noise
You know you got the right to get your party on
So get your haircut and your car washed too
Lookin' like a star in your Armani suit
You need to look your best cause you're turnin' heads tonight
You're gonna find a sexy chica that's gonna dance all night
If you wanna

(Hook 2)
Sexy women do dat dance
Fly ladies work your man
Ballin’ fellas time to clown

(One more time papi's mommies)

Bounce baby, bounce, bo-bounce bounce, bo-bounce

Song: Say My Name
Artist: Destiny's Child
Album: TWOTW

(Kelly)
Thou shall say my name

(Rodney Jerkins)
DarkChild '99

(Chorus)
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

(Beyonce`)
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

(Hook) (Beyonce`)
I know you say that I am assuming things
(Something’s 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)
Cuz 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)

(Beyonce`)
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
Sayin’ 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
Gettin’ caught up in your game
When you can not say my name

[Rodney Jenkins](Beyonce`)
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

Song: She Can't Love You
Artist: Destiny's Child
Album: TWOTW

(Beyonce`)
Thou shall know she can't love you

(Beyoncé)
I saw your new girlfriend the other day
And I expected for her to be so much more than she was
I checked out her style
The way she smiled, the way she moved
The things she said
The way she looked at me like "I got your man"

(Beyoncé & Kelly)
(She can't love you) like I can
All of her love just can't compare to what I have
She can't touch you, like I do
Cuz when ya'll touching, you pretend it's me and you

(Chorus)
And there's no way
Her love's as good as mine

There's no reason
For you to waste your time

(Beyoncé High & low vocals)
When we were together you told me what you didn't like
And you went out and got exactly that type
You said that your new girl is nothing compared to me
Everything that she does wrong I always do right

(Beyoncé & Kelly)
(She can't hold you) like I can
Boy you a fool if you can't realize what you had
(She can't feel you) like I can
Cuz I'm a girl that's always standing by my man

(Chorus)
And there's no way
Her love's as good as mine
There's no reason
For you to waste your time

(Hook-Kelly)
There's no way, there's no way
That her love could be, could be as good as mine
There's no reason, no reason
For you to even go and waste your time
Your time

(Chorus)
And there's no way
Her love's as good as mine
There's no reason
For you to waste your time
(til end)

Song: Stay
Artist: Destiny's Child
Album: TWOTW

(LeToya)
If thou can wait, then thou shall stay

[Beyoncé]
oh, ooh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, oooh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
Baby, I want for nothing
Just your, tender sweet loving
I know you've got your things to do
But tell me what means more to you
Hanging out with me, or with your boys
Sometimes, I do get lonely
With no you, and no one to hold me
You want so much, to lay me down
Is that what keeps you, hangin' round
Is that the only way to win your heart

(Chorus)
Well if I loved you a little bit longer
If my love was a little bit stronger
Would you stay, stay
Baby please stay
If I granted all of your wishes
Give you more than touches and kisses
Would you stay, stay
