Cards Never Lie

[Beyoncé]

The cards never lie, my last breath a sigh

And now I think about if it's my time to die

I don't know what I was thinking, steady wasting time with Hill

And I need to live my life because my time is unforgiven

I can't understand how my life changed around

Manifest my destiny, is it the Brown underground?

Blue skies are turning gray, it's the point of indecision

Believing in the cards, you must respect its every vision

[Wyclef]

Oh!

Girlfriend, get your mind on line

Don't spend your time cause you can't waste your time

Everyday like it's your last, but you must feel divine

Intervention comes and snatch up all your dreams from behind

Love!

You feel it and you got to let them know it

Love!

Your heart and that's the feeling that you go with

If you have a dream you need to go and let them know it

Cause you could wake up in the morning and then it could be over

[Beyoncé]

No, no, no, no (no)

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna go (go)

Just, just, just let me stay home (home)

Let me live my dream, let me see another dawn (dawn)

No, no, no, no (no)

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna go (go)

Just, just, just let me stay home (home)

Let me live my dream, let me see another dawn (dawn)

[Rah Digga]

Carmen, don't listen, cause the cards have deceit

Just slide him the money, we don't need a receipt

Truth only exists within the eyes of the beholder

Plus he's kinda young for fortune telling and probably should be older

[Wyclef]

But the cards never lie

I thought I told you, now it's her turn to try

To reach her goals before she reaches the sky

[Beyoncé]

This is love it's like I'm trying to throw my life away

Sometimes love is all you got and other times it makes you pay

[Wyclef]

Well when you finally rise, then you'll realize

[Beyoncé]

The windows to the soul are not the hips but the eyes

[Wyclef]

Oh you could wish on the stars, but they're dead, just a lie

[Beyoncé]

But they shine just as bright as they did their entire life

No, no, no, no

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna go

Just, just, just let me stay home

Just let me live my dream, let me see another dawn

No, no, no, no

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna go

Just, just, just let me stay home

Just let me live my dream, let me see another dawn
