[Intro: Beyoncé]
Lucy Liu With my girl Drew Cameron D. and Destiny Charlie’s Angels, come on Uh, uh, uh
[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
Question, tell me what you think about me I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
Only ring your celly when I’m feelin’ lonely When it’s all over, please get up and leave
Question, tell me how you feel about this
Try to control me, boy, you get dismissed Pay my own car note and I pay my own bills
Always fifty-fifty in relationships
[Pre-Chorus: Kelly & Farrah]
The shoes on my feet, I bought ’em
The clothes I’m wearing, I bought ’em
The rock I’m rocking, I bought it
‘Cause I depend on me if I want it
The watch I’m wearing, I bought it

The car I’m driving, I bought it I depend on me (I depend on me)

Tell me how you feel about this
Do what I want, live how I wanna live
I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get Ladies, it ain’t easy being independent
Question, how’d you like this knowledge that I brought?

Depend on no one else to give you what you want

A Woman’s Worth by Alicia Keys
[Verse 1]
You could buy me diamonds, you could buy me pearls
Take me on a cruise around the world (Baby, you know I’m worth it)
Dinner lit by candles, run my bubble bath
Make love tenderly to last and last (Baby, you know I’m worth it)
[Pre-Chorus]
Wanna please, wanna keep, wanna treat your woman right
Not just dough, but to show that you know she is worth your time
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth Mm-mmm
[Chorus]
‘Cause a real man knows a real woman when he sees her (When he sees her)
And a real woman knows a real man ain’t ‘fraid to please her (Please her)
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first (First)
And a real man just can’t deny a woman’s worth (A woman’s worth)
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-hm, mm-hmm Mm-hm, mm-hmm Mm-hm, mm-hmm Mm (Uh, hold up)
[Verse 2]
If you treat me fairly, I’ll give you all my goods
Treat you like a real woman should (Baby, I know you’re worth it)
If you never play me, promise not to bluff
I’ll hold you down when shit gets rough (‘Cause baby, I know you’re worth it)
[Pre-Chorus]
She walks the mile, makes you smile, all the while being true
Don’t take for granted the passions that she has for you
You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will and she can find a man who knows her worth Ohh
[Chorus] [Bridge]
No need to read between the lines spelled out for you (Spelled out for you)
Just hear this song ’cause you can’t go wrong when you value (Better value)
A woman’s (Sing it) woman’s, woman’s, woman’s worth Yeah
[Chorus 2 times] [Outro]
Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Do-ooh) Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Sibba-dibba, do-do)
Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Do-do-do-di-di-di-di) Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Ooh)
Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Cherish that woman) Mm-hm, mm-hmm (It better be good for that woman)
Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh) Mm-hm, mm-hmm (Ooh, yeah)
