Me, Myself And I

Beyoncé · Dangerously In Love [2003]

All the ladies, if you feel me

Help me sing it out



I can't believe I believed everything we had would last

So young and naive of me to think she was from your past

Silly of me to dream of one day having your kids

Love is so blind, it feels right when it's wrong



I can't believe I fell for your schemes, I'm smarter than that

So dumb and naive to believe that with me you're a changed man

Foolish of me to compete when you cheat with loose women

It took me some time, but now I moved on

Cause I realized I got



[chorus]

Me, myself and I

That's all I got in the end

That's what I found out

And it ain't no need to cry

I took a vow that from now on

I'ma be my own best friend



You're so controlling, you say that you love me but you don't

Your family told me, one day I would see it on my own

Next thing I know, I'm dealing with your three kids in my home

Love is so blind, it feels right when it's wrong



Now that it's over, stop calling me, come pick up your clothes

Ain't no need to front like you're still with me, all your homies know

Even your very best friend tried to warn me on the low

Took me some time but now I am strong

Because I realize I got



[chorus]

Me, myself and I

That's all I got in the end

That's what I found out

And it ain't no need to cry

I took a vow that from now on

I'ma be my own best friend



I got me, myself and I

(I know that I will never disappoint myself)

I must have cried a thousand times

(All the ladies, if you feel me, help me sing it out)

I can regret times spent with you

(Yeah, you hurt me but I learned a lot along the way)

Now I will vow to make it through

(After all the rain, you'll see the sun come out again)

(Oh, oh, oh)
