Lyrics of Bills, Bills, Bills by Destiny's Child
verse
At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain′t never been
But now, you're getting comfortable
Ain′t doing those things you did no more
You're slowly making me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car (car)
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your cheque next week
pre-chorus
You triflin′, good-for-nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven′t I found another?
A baller, when times get hard
I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you, who don't know what a man′s about
chorus
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don′t think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don′t think you do
So, you and me are through
verse
Now you've been maxing out my card (card)
Gave me bad credit, buyin' me gifts with my own ends
Haven′t paid the first bill
But you′re steady headin' to the mall
Goin′ on shopping sprees
Perpetrating to your friends like you be ballin'
And then you use my cellphone (phone)
Callin′ whoever that you think's at home
And then when the bill comes
All of a sudden you be acting dumb
Don′t know where none of these calls come from
When your momma's number's here more than once
pre-chorus
You triflin′, good-for-nothing type of brother
Silly me, why haven′t I found another?
A baller, when times get hard, I need someone to help me out
Instead of a scrub like you, who don't know what a man′s about
chorus
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don′t think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don′t think you do
So, you and me are through
bridge
You triflin', good-for-nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven't I found another?
You triflin′, good-for-nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven′t I found another?
You triflin', good-for-nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven′t I found another?
You triflin', good-for-nothing type of brother
Oh silly me, why haven′t I found another?
chorus
Can you pay the bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don′t think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo′ bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don′t think you do
So, you and me are through
outro
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don′t think you do
So, you and me are through
