Fancy Lyrics

[Chorus: Destiny's Child]
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much, child
Don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
I've always been so nice to you, girl
Helpin' you girl, there for you girl
You always tried to compete with me, girl
Usin' me girl, abusin' me girl
Flirtin' with every man you see
Especially if the man likes me
Baby, where's your self esteem?
Find your own identity

[Pre-Chorus: Kelly, Kelly & Michelle]
Your head ain't right
No congratulating schemer
Your head ain't right
You's a liar and a cheater
And I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you no more
Don't come knockin' at my door
I don't know what you came here for
If you didn't know, then now you know
[Chorus: Destiny's Child]
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much, child
Don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are

[Verse 2: Beyoncé, Michelle]
Roll those eyes, girl, twist them hips, girl
Swing that handle in the air
If you wonder why you never had a girlfriend
I think I made myself clear
Girl, change your ways right now, today
Stop hatin' me, baby, find your own identity


[Pre-Chorus: Kelly, Kelly & Michelle]
Your head ain't right
No congratulating schemer
Your head ain't right
You's a liar and a cheater
And I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you no more
Don't come knockin' at my door
Don't know what you came here for
If you didn't know, then now you know
[Chorus: Destiny's Child, Kelly]
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much, child
Don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much (You see, girl)
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine (Always tryna steal my shine)
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are

[Bridge: Beyoncé & Kelly]
Girlfriend
Lord knows that I've tried
No matter how much I give to you
You wanna use me for what I got
You take my kindness for weakness
You take advantage of people
One day you shall reap what you sow
Girl, get your head up out the clouds
(Oh-ooh, yeah)

[Break: Michelle, Destiny's Child]
Girlfriend, you think you're cute
Girlfriend, don't ya think you're fine?
Girlfriend, you're always trying
You're always trying to steal my shine
Girlfriend, you think you're cute, yeah
Girlfriend, don't ya think you're fine, girl?
Girlfriend, you're always trying
You're always trying to steal my shine
[Chorus: Destiny's Child, Beyoncé]
I don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much, child
Don't fancy you too much, child
I don't fancy you too much
You think you're cute (Think you're cute), you think you're fine (Think you're fine)
You're always trying to steal my shine (Always trying to steal my shine, get off of me)
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are
I don't fancy you too much, child (I'm not feelin')
I don't fancy you too much, child (No-no-no-no-no, I'm not feelin')
Don't fancy you too much, child (Don't fancy)
I don't fancy you too much (I'm not feelin' you)
You think you're cute, you think you're fine
You're always trying to steal my shine (Always trying to steal my shine, get off of me)
Get off of me, don't mess with me
You know who you are (Woo)
I don't fancy you too much, child (Not feelin' you, girl)
I don't fancy you too much, child (Don't like you, girl)
Don't fancy you too much, child (Don't fancy you, girl)
I don't fancy you too much (You get on my nerves)
You think you're cute, you think you're fine (And gettin' what you deserve)
You're always trying to steal my shine (Dealin' wit' all that dirt)
Get off of me, don't mess with me (I won't say no names)

About

Genius Annotation

“Fancy” is a song probably about the feud period between one of the thrown out girls from Destiny’s Child. It’s never been confirmed who it is about, and it might as well be about another girl, but probably not. Especially since they’re singing “I’ve always been so nice to you, girl. Helping you girl, there for you girl.”
