[Intro: Beyoncé]
Ay, ay, ay
Nobody likes being played
(Oh) Beyoncé, Beyoncé
(Oh) Shakira, Shakira
Hey!

[Verse 1: Beyoncé, Shakira]
He said I'm worth it, his one desire
I know things about 'em that you wouldn't want to read about
He kissed me, his one and only (Yes), beautiful liar
Tell me how you tolerate the things I just found out about

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira]
You never know
Why are we the ones who suffer?
I have to let go
He won't be the one to cry

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira, Both]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
(Oh) Can't we laugh about it? (Ha, ha, ha!)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without him
Just a beautiful liar

[Verse 2: Beyoncé, Shakira]
I trusted him, but when I followed you, I saw you together
I didn't know about you then 'till I saw you with him again
I walked in on your love scene, slow dancing
You stole everything, how can you say I did you wrong, yeah?

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira]
We'll never know
When the pain and heartbreak's over
I have to let go
The innocence is gone

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira, Both]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
(Oh) Can't we laugh about it? (Ha, ha, ha!)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without him
Just a beautiful liar

[Bridge: Beyoncé & Shakira, Both]
Tell me how to forgive you (Ooh)
When it's me who's ashamed (Oh)
And I wish could free you
Of the hurt and the pain
But the answer is simple
He's the one to blame, hey!

[Break: Beyoncé]
(Ay) Beyoncé, Beyoncé
(Ay) Shakira, Shakira
(Oh) Beyoncé, Beyoncé
(Oh) Shakira, Shakira
Hey!

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira, Both]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
(Oh) Can't we laugh about it? (Ha, ha, ha!)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without him
Just a beautiful liar
