Lyrics

[Intro]
Aye, aye, aye
Nobody likes being played (Ah)
[Refrain]
Beyoncé, Beyoncé (Ah)
Shakira, Shakira (Hey!)
[Verse 1]
He said I'm worth it, his one desire (I know things about him 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 you just found out about)
[PreChorus]
(Rumor) You never know
Why are we the ones who suffer?
I have to let go
He won't be the one to cry (Aye)
[Chorus]
Let's not kill the karma (Aye)
Let's not start a fight (Aye)
It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar (Oh)
Can't we laugh about it? (Oh)
It's not worth our time (Oh)
We can live without 'im
Just a beautiful liar
[Verse 2]
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 when, yeah)
I walked in on your love scene, slow dancing (You stole everything, how can you say I did you wrong? Yeah)
[PreChorus]
We'll never know
When the pain and heartbreak's over
I have to let go
The innocence is gone
[Chorus]
Let's not kill the karma (Aye)
Let's not start a fight (Aye)
It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar (Oh)
Can't we laugh about it? (Oh)
It's not worth our time (Oh)
We can live without 'im
Just a beautiful liar
[Bridge]
Tell me how to forgive you
When it's me who's ashamed
And I wish I could free you
Of the hurt and the pain
But the answer is simple
He's the one to blame (Hey)
[Refrain]
Beyoncé, Beyoncé (Aye)
Shakira, Shakira (Oh)
Beyoncé, Beyoncé (Oh)
Shakira, Shakira (Hey)
[Chorus]
Let's not kill the karma (Aye)
Let's not start a fight (Aye)
It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar (Oh)
Can't we laugh about it? (Oh)
It's not worth our time (Oh)
We can live without 'im
Just a beautiful liar
