[Intro]
Oh oh oh
I be by myself before I settle (Before I settle)
I won't settle for a baby boy
I'm single but know that it's my choice
[Verse 1]
Better come correct or don't come at all
Call me a fool if I settle for another dog
I done learned my lesson
Got tired of stressin'
He didn't know my worth
Had to kick him to the curb (Yeah)
I'm a beautiful independent woman
Self-made, self-paid woman
Own crib, degree having boss
Did I mention I'm dripping sauce? (Yeah)
If he ain't loyal I don't want him
Rather be by myself than be fooled again
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm single til I find an honest guy (Honest guy)
I've been through hell and back but I will survive
[Chorus]
Single ladies but we ain't lonely (We ain't lonely)
We ain't got no time for them phonies
Don't mind being single (Single)
In the meantime I'ma mingle (Mingle)
Yeah yeah yeah I'm single
I thought that you should know
Single, single, single, single, single
Don't mind being single
In the meantime I'ma mingle
Yeah yeah yeah I'm single
I thought that you should know
[Verse 2]
I'm good on my own, leave me alone, I'm in my zone
Pour up a cup of patron, turn on my song, I can't go wrong
I'm in love with myself
Getting money by myself
Do it all with no help
Tell a f*ck nigga "Go to hell"
Bust a couple moves on the low
Did a little dirt on the low
I grind hard for this bankroll
I'ma live my life and grow (Hustle)
Don't need nobody to complete me
They say life is hard but I make it look easy
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm single til I find an honest guy (Honest guy)
I've been through hell and back but I will survive
[Chorus]
Single ladies but we ain't lonely (We ain't lonely)
We ain't got no time for them phonies
Don't mind being single (Single)
In the meantime I'ma mingle (Mingle)
Yeah yeah yeah I'm single
I thought that you should know
Single, single, single, single, single
Don't mind being single
In the meantime I'ma mingle
Yeah yeah yeah I'm single
I thought that you should know
[Bridge]
This is for my single ladies (Ladies)
I'll admit we kinda crazy (Crazy)
But they gotta treat us like a lady
We won't settle for no BS I put that on baby (Yeah yeah)
[Chorus]
Single ladies but we ain't lonely (We ain't lonely)
We ain't got no time for them phonies
Don't mind being single (Single)
In the meantime I'ma mingle (Mingle)
Yeah yeah yeah I'm single
I thought that you should know
Single, single, single, single, single
Don't mind being single
In the meantime I'ma mingle
Yeah yeah yeah I'm single
I thought that you should know
[Outro]
Oh oh oh
I be by myself before I settle (I won't settle)
I won't settle for a baby boy
Single, but know that it's my choice
