"Say My Name" lyrics
(originally by Destiny's Child)
Say my name, say my name
When 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
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
From the boy that you claim
Why don't you say the things
That you said to me yesterday
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down, that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who
Say my name, say my name
When 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 to say my name
What is up with this?
Tell the truth, who you with
How would you like it if
I came over with my clique?
Don't try and change it now
See you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago
You 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
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth?
If somebody's there then tell me who
Say my name, say my name
When 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 to say my name
Y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah
Y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah
Y-yeah, y-yeah, ooooh
Y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah, y-yeah
Y-yeah, y-yeah
Say my name, say my name
When 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
Say my name, say my name
When 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?
When 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
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
