"Single Ladies"

All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
Put your hands up
Put your hands up

Up in the club, just broke up
Doing my own little thing
Decided to dip (dip) now you wanna trip (trip)
'Cause another brotha noticed me

I'm up on him, he's up on me
I don't pay him any attention
I cried my tears for three good years
No, you can't be mad at me

'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you see that he want it
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it

Oh oh... oh

Gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Got me tighter'n my Dereon dreams
Actin' up, got a drink in my cup
And I could care less what you think

I need no permission, did I mention
I don't pay him any attention
You had your turn, and now you gon' learn
What it really feels like to miss me

'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you see that he want it
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it

Don't treat me to the things of the world
I'm not that kind of girl
And your love is what I prefer, it's what I deserve

Here's a man that takes me, and then makes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms, say I'm the one you want
And if you don't, you'll be alone
And like a ghost, I'll be gone

Oh oh... oh

'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you see that he want it
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
If you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad when you see that he want it
'Cause if you like it, then you shoulda put a ring on it

Oh oh... oh

All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
All the single ladies
Put your hands up
Say, put your hands up
Say, put your hands up
Put you hands up
