Ay, Ay
Nobody makes me a prey...(Ay)
Oh, Beyonce Beyonce
Oh, Shakira Shakira (Hey)
He said, I`m worth it, his whim desire
I know things that you never wanna know
He kissed me, his one and only
(Yes) Beatiful Liar
Tell me how you tolerate the things that you just found out about?
You never know
Why are we the ones who suffer
Have to let go
He will be the one to cry
(Ay)Lets not kill the Karma
(Ay)Lets not start a fight
(Ay)Its not worth the drama
For a Beautiful Liar
(Oh)Can we laugh about it
(Oh)It`s not worth our time
(Oh)We can live without him
He`s just a Beautiful Liar
I just 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 could you say I did you wrong
Why i didn`t know
When the pain and heartbreaks over
Have to let go
The innocence is gone
(Ay)Lets not kill the Karma
(Ay)Lets not start a fight
(Ay)Its not worth the drama
For a Beautiful Liar
(Oh)Can we laugh about it,(HA HA HA)
(Oh)It`s no worth our time,
(Oh)We can live without him,
He`s just a Beautiful Liar
Tel me how to forgive you
When its me who`s ashame
And I wish I could free you
Of the hurt and the pain
But the answer is simple
He's the one to blame (HEY)
Ay, Beyoncé, Beyoncé
Ay,Shakira Shakira
Oh,Beyonce Beyonce
Oh,Shakira Shakira(HEY)
(Ay)Lets not kill the Karma
(Ay)Lets not start a fight
(Ay)Its not worth the drama
For a Beautiful Liar
(Oh)Can we laugh about it
(Oh)It`s not worth or try
(Oh)We can live without him
He`s just a Beautïful Liar
About Background: The duet had been confirmed by Beyoncé in an interview with Univision in December 2006. In a recent MTV interview, she described how she had met Shakira several times at various awards shows over the recent years. After recording the Latin-themed song solo, Beyoncé approached her to appear on it; Shakira accepted.
Beyoncé has stated that the song is about female empowerment and what it means to be one, in keeping with the theme of the album. The protagonists sing about being charmed by the same man; instead of fighting over him, they decide not to start a drama or waste their time.
The original Spanglish version featured Beyoncé singing solo, and this leaked onto the internet in late 2006. However the duet version was recorded (in English) on January 23, 2007 in
