[Intro: Beyoncé]
Ay, Ay, Ay
Nobody likes being played
(Oh) Beyoncé, Beyoncé
(Oh) Shakira, Shakira (hey)

[Verse 1: Beyoncé & Shakira]
He said I'm worth it, his one desire
I know things about 'em 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 that you just found out about

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira]
You never know
Why are we the ones who suffer?
I have to let go
He won't be the one to cry

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira, both]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
Can't we laugh about it? (Ha Ha Ha)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without them
Just a beautiful liar
[Verse 2: Beyoncé & Shakira]
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 again
I walked in on your love scene, slow dancing
You stole everything, how can you say I did you wrong

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira]
We'll never know
When the pain and heartbreak's over
I have to let go
The innocence is gone

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira, both]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
Can't we laugh about it? (Ha Ha Ha)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without them
Just a beautiful liar

[Bridge: Beyoncé & Shakira, both]
Tell me how to forgive you
When it's me who's ashamed
And I wish could free you
Of the hurt and the pain
But the answer is simple
He's the one to blame
[Break: Beyoncé]
Hey!
Beyoncé, Beyoncé
Shakira, Shakira
Beyoncé, Beyoncé
Shakira, Shakira
(Hey)

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Shakira, both]
(Ay) Let's not kill the karma
(Ay) Let's not start a fight
(Ay) It's not worth the drama
For a beautiful liar
Can't we laugh about it? (Ha Ha Ha)
(Oh) It's not worth our time
(Oh) We can live without them
Just a beautiful liar
