Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

[Verse 2]

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

[Verse 3]

Walking under the maple tree

To myself I am pondering

Thinking about all these things

That's bothering me lately

Why is this pressure all on me?

Why this negativity?

If something's wrong blame it on me

B-E-Y-O-N-C-E

[Verse 4]

Shut up

No one said to open your mouth

Shut up

If you do not like me, how about

Shut up

Why waste your energy on me?

Shut up

Is it 'cause you wanna be me?

[Verse 5]

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more lying)

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more hating)

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more dissing)

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more snaking)

[Verse 6]

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more cheating)

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more sneaking)

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more bugging)

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more judging)

[Verse 7]

Everybody judging me

Knowing nothing about me

Causing insecurity

Because of someone's jealousy

Losing all my privacy

Wanting much more normalcy

Learning to appreciate mainly

Gifts my God has given me

[Verse 8]

Shut up

No one said to open your mouth

Shut up

If you do not like me, how about

Shut up

Why waste your energy on me?

Shut up

Is it 'cause you wanna be me?

[Verse 9]

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more lying)

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more hating)

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

Dot, dot dah, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more sneaking)

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot dah, dah

(No more judging)

[Verse 11]

Love yourself

(Love yourself)

Enough to live life

(To live life)

For you and nobody, nobody else

(For you and nobody else)

Nobody else

[Verse 12]
