‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’

by Beyoncé Knowles

All the single ladies
Now put your hands up

Up in the club
We just broke up
I’m doing my own little thing
You decided to dip
But now you want to trip
‘Cause another brother noticed me
I’m up on him
He’s up on me
Don’t pay him any attention
‘Cause I cried my tears
Straight for three good years
You can’t be mad at me

Chorus

‘Cause if you like it
Then you should have
Put a ring on it
Don’t be mad
Once you see that he want it
If you like it
Then you should have
Put a ring on it

I got gloss on my lips
A man on my hips
And we tighter than my Deréon jeans
Acting up
Drank in my cup
I can care less what you think
I need no permission
Did I mention
Don’t pay him any attention
‘Cause you had your turn
But now you going to learn
What it really feels like to miss me

(Chorus)

Don’t treat me to
These things of the world
I’m not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer
What I deserve
Is a man that makes me
Then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny
To infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I’m the one you want
If you don’t you’ll be alone
And like a ghost I’ll be gone

All the single ladies
Now put your hands up

(Chorus)
