Say My Name
leoparden/destinys child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name
Any other day
I would call and you would say
Baby how's your day
But today, it ain't the same
Every other word
Is "uh-huh" yeah "okay"
Could it be that you
Are at the crib with another lady
If you took it there
First of all, let me say
I am not the one
To sit around, and be played
So prove yourself to me
I am the girl that you claim
Why don't you say the thangs
That you said to me yesterday
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth
If somebody's there then tell me who
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name
What is up with this
Tell the truth,who you with
How would you like it if
I came over with my clique
Don't try to change it now
See you gotta bounce
When two seconds ago
You said you just got in the house
It's hard to believe that you
Are at home, by yourself
When I just heard the voice
Heard the voice of someone else
Just this question why
Do you feel you gotta lie
Gettin' caught up in your game
When you can not say my name
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange
If nobody's holding you back from me
'Cause I know how you usually do
When you say everything to me times two
Why can't you just tell the truth
If somebody's there then tell me who
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Why the sudden change
Say my name, say my name
If no one is around you
Say baby I love you
If you ain't runnin' game
Say my name, say my name
You actin' kinda shady
Ain't callin' me baby
Better say my name
I know you say that I am assuming things
Something's going down that's the way it seems
Shouldn't be the reason why you're acting strange

The lyrics of "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child, also known as "Say My Name (feat. Leoparden)", speaks about a woman's suspicion that her partner is cheating on her with another woman. The lyrics follow the woman's growing concern that her partner is acting strange and confirms her suspicion that he is being unfaithful. The chorus of the song consists of the woman demanding her partner say her name, proving that he is not hiding anything and that he is loyal to her.
The lyrics show a strong sense of insecurity on the part of the female protagonist. She is questioning her partner's loyalty and is feeling vulnerable and hurt. The lyrics show that women have a strong intuition and can sense when something is not right in the relationship. This song can be empowering for women who are in a similar situation and can help them stand up for themselves and demand respect and honesty from their partners.

Don't try to change it now
Don't attempt to alter the situation now
See you gotta bounce
You need to leave
When two seconds ago
Only a few seconds ago
You said you just got in the house
You said you just arrived at home
It's hard to believe that you
It is difficult to trust that you
Are at home, by yourself
Are home alone
When I just heard the voice
When I just heard a voice
Heard the voice of someone else
Heard someone else's voice
Just this question why
I only have this question
Do you feel you gotta lie
Why do you feel the need to lie
Gettin' caught up in your game
Getting involved in your scheme
When you can not say my name
Even though you cannot address me by my name
Baby say my name, say my name, say my name
Address me by my name repeatedly
