Destiny's Child - If Lyrics

If I don't pick up the phone like I use to for you
Don't you take it personal
If I don't do all the things that I use to do to you
I ain't mad at you

If you get to feeling stressed up in your chest thinking
That you're about to lose
And If you're losing out on sleep, home worryin' about me
That's how it be

If you don't know
Now you know you're gonna miss my love
And I ain't stressin' 'bout a dog gone thing
'Cause I was true when I gave you my love
If you search you will never find another love like my love
You're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my love

If you think I caught a feelin' when I heard about that other chick
I already knew about it
I just needed time just to clear my mind and ask myself
Why I didn't handle him?

If you would've taken care of home instead of leavin' me alone
I still would be right there with you
Taking care of you, steady loving you
Like I use to do

If you don't know
Now you know you're gonna miss my love
And I ain't stressin' 'bout a dog gone thing
'Cause I was true when I gave you my love
If you search you will never find another love like my love
You're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my love

There was once a time I blame myself for what was wrong
I can see so clearly now because you are gone
That's how I spent all my time when you weren't home
Playin' around with them raggedy heifers
There'll be no more stressin', no more cryin', no more tryin'
I would rather be alone
'Cause this valuable heart of mine was yours until I realized
Finally opened my eyes

You see ladies, I know I knew better
What was I thinking?
He gone miss me when I'm gone

If you don't know
Now you know you're gonna miss my love
And I ain't stressin' 'bout a dog gone thing
'Cause I was true when I gave you my love
If you search you will never find another love like my love
You're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my love
