[Chorus]
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
I've always been so nice to you, girl
Helping you girl, there for you girl
You always tried to compete with me, girl
Using me girl, abusing me girl
Flirtin' with every man you see
Especially if the man likes me
Baby where's your self esteem
Find your own identity

[Pre-Chorus: Kelly (with Michelle)]
(Your head ain't right) No congratulating schemer
(Your head ain't right) You's a liar and a cheater
And I don't want you I don't want you I don't want you no more
Don't come knockin' at my door
I don't know what you came here for
If you didn't know then now you know

[Chorus]
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are

[Verse 2: Beyoncé, Michelle]
Roll those eyes girl, twist them hips girl
Swing those hands all in the air
If you wonder why you never had a girlfriend
I think I made myself clear
Girl change your ways right now today
Stop hating me, baby find your own identity

[Pre-Chorus: Kelly (with Michelle)]
(Your head ain't right) No congratulating schemer
(Your head ain't right) You's a liar and a cheater
And I don't want you I don't want you I don't want you no more
Don't come knockin' at my door
I don't know what you came here for
If you didn't know then now you know

[Chorus]
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are

[Verse 3: Beyoncé, Kelly]
Girlfriend, Lord knows that I've tried
No matter how much I give to you
You wanna use me for what I got
You take my kindness for weakness, you take advantage of people
One day you shall reap what you sow
Girl get your head up out the clouds
Ohhh yeah

[Bridge: All, Michelle]
Girlfriend, you think you're cute
Girlfriend, don't ya think you're fine
Girlfriend, you're always trying
Always trying to steal my shine
Girlfriend, you think you're cute
Girlfriend, don't ya think you're fine
Girlfriend, you're always trying
Always trying to steal my shine

[Chorus (Beyoncé)]
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are

I don't fancy you too much, child (I'm not feelin' no-no-no-no-no)
I don't fancy you too much
I don't fancy you too much, child (Don't fancy)
I don't fancy you too much (I'm not feelin' you)
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are

I don't fancy you too much, child (I feel you girl)
I don't fancy you too much
I don't fancy you too much, child (Don't fancy you girl)
I don't fancy you too much (Get on my nerves)
You think you're cute, you think you're fine (Get what you deserve)
You're always trying to steal my shine (Doin' all that dirt)
Get off of me, don't mess with me
