Why Don't You Love Me

Written by Beyonce Knowles, Eddie Smith Iii, Jesse Rankins, Jonathan Wells, Solange Knowles, Angela Beyince

Now, now, now, honey

You better sit down and look around

‘Cause you must've bumped yo’ head

And I love you enough to talk some sense back into you, baby

I’d hate to see you come home—me, the kids, and the dog is gone

Check my credentials

I give you everything you want, everything you need

Even your friends say I’m a good woman

All I need to know is why...

Why don’t you love me?

Tell me baby, why don’t you love me?

When I make me so damn easy to love?

And why don’t you need me?

Tell me, baby, why don’t you need me?

When I make me so damn easy to need

I got beauty, I got class

I got style and I got ass

And you don’t even care to care

I even put money in the bank account

Don’t have to ask no one to help me out

You don’t even notice that

Why don’t you love me?

Tell me, baby , why don’t you love me?

When I make me so damn easy to love

And why don’t you need me?

Tell me, baby, why don’t you need me?

When I make me so damn easy to need

I got beauty, I got heart

Keep my head in them books, I’m sharp

But you don’t care to know I’m smart

I got moves in your bedroom

Keep you happy with the nasty things I do

But you don’t seem to be in tune

Why don’t you love me?

Tell me baby, why don’t you love me?

When I make me so damn easy to love

And why don’t you need me?

Tell me, baby, why don’t you need me?

When I make me so damn easy to need

There’s nothing not to love about me

No, no, there’s nothing to need about me...

No, no, there’s nothing to need about me...

No, no, there’s nothing to need about me...

Maybe you’re just not the one

Or maybe you’re just plain dumb
