Why You Actin' lyrics

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]

Chapter one, LAX departure

Flight 1106 he sat right next to me

Chapter two, he was cute so I asked him

If he have a lucky lady claiming him

Chapter three, he made it clear that he was single

And he was searching for a partner just like me

Chapter four, we landed and he said 'we just can’t end it'

Cause he needed a little more time with me

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]

Weeks later we datin'

Taking me all kinda places

Showing me things I never seen

It was kinda crazy, I’m relating to this man

So I gave him every hidden secret part of me

Oooh then it switched, what is this

Overheard your messages

When I questioned you, you said she’s a friend

Now it’s funny that I’m runnin' into you, is that your boo?

Nigga tell her I’m your main event

[Chorus:]

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Who I am

After all the trips, all the time we spent

Now you act like we weren’t doin' it

Why you actin like you don’t know

Girl I know your man

I drove his whip, I know all his friends

And I know it's gon' hurt you proving it

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Who I am

After all the trips, all the time we spent

You gone act like we weren’t doin' it

Why you actin like you don’t know

Girl I know your man

After all the trips, all the time we spent

I know it's gon' hurt you proving it

[Verse 2: Kelly]

Think I’m lying: his Mama, Mrs. Parker

and I sat down in the den and watched Comic View

Think I’m lying, his boxers

He likes to wear Calvin Klein

With the open front fly design size 32

Think I’m lying, I never could describe his birth mark

If I never did let him hit and get into this

Think I’m lying, I can even tell you your size

Cause you left your bra behind in his bathroom

[Pre-Chorus: Kelly]

Weeks later we datin'

Taking me all kinda places

Showing me things I never seen

It was kinda crazy, I’m relating to this man

So I gave him every little secret part of me

Ohooh then it switched, what is this

Overheard your messages

And I questioned you, you said she’s a friend

Now it’s funny that I’m runnin' into you, is that your boo?

Partner tell her I’m your main event

[Chorus:]

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Who I am

After all the trips, all the time we spent

Now you act like we weren’t doin' it

Why you actin like you don’t know

Girl I know your man

I drove his whip, I know all his friends

And I know it's gon' hurt you proving it

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Who I am

After all the trips, all the time we spent

You gone act like we weren’t doin' it

Why you actin like you don’t know

Girl I know your man

After all the trips, all the time we spent

I know it's gon' hurt you proving it

[Bridge: Michelle]

See you makin it harder for the other man

When a real woman try to let you in

Now she lookin' at me, thinkin' I disrespect

But thas not my way girl, cause I wasn’t raised like that

You accusing me, should be checking him

Insecure of me 'cause I dealt with him

Woman to woman, I ain’t got time for foolishness

I’m out the door, this is my cue

I can’t go through with this

[Chorus:]

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Who I am

After all the trips, all the time we spent

Now you act like we weren’t doin' it

Why you actin like you don’t know

Girl I know your man

I drove his whip, I know all his friends

And I know it's gone hurt you proving it

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Who I am

After all the trips, all the time we spent

You gone act like we weren’t doin' it

Why you actin like you don’t know

Girl I know your man

After all the trips, all the time we spent

I know it's gone hurt you proving it

[Outro:]

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Why you actin' like you don’t know

Girl I know your man

After all the trips, all the time we spent

I know it's gon' hurt you proving it
