**"Me, Myself and I"** is the sixth track from Beyoncé's debut studio album, Dangerously in Love.

## Background

It was written by Beyoncé, Scott Storch and Robert Waller for her debut solo album Dangerously in Love (2003). Beyoncé decided that she wanted a deeper and more personal song for the third single; the song was sent by Columbia Records to US radio on October 19, 2003. "Me, Myself and I" is an R&B song about dealing with a philandering boyfriend and learning from the consequences.

## Reception

"Me, Myself and I" was generally well received by music critics, who complimented the smooth and assertive vocals of Beyoncé and called it a 1980s throwback from Dangerously in Love. The Grammy Award-nominated song earned Beyoncé, Storch and Waller an American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers Pop Music Award. "Me, Myself and I" peaked at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and became Beyoncé's fourth consecutive US top five single. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The single reached the top 20 in Australia, the UK and in some European countries.

## Lyrics

All the ladies if you feel me, help me sing it out...

I can't believe I believed

Everything we had would last

So young and naive for me to think

She was from your past

Silly of me to dream of

One day having your kids

Love is so blind

It feels right when it's wrong

I can't believe I fell for your schemes

I'm smarter than that

So young and naive to believe that with me

You're a changed man

Foolish of me to compete

When you cheat with loose women

It took me some time but now I moved on

Cuz I realized I got

Me myself and I

That's all I got in the end

That's what I found out

And it ain't no need to cry

I took a vow that from now on

I'm gonna be my own best friend

Me myself and I

That's all I got in the end

That's what I found out

And it ain't no need to cry

I took a vow that from now on

I'm gonna be my own best friend

So controlling , you said that you love me

But you don't

Your family told me one day

I would see it on my own

Next thing I know I'm dealing

With your three kids in my home

Love is so blind

It feels right when it's wrong

Now that it's over

Stop calling me

Come pick up your clothes

Ain't no need to front like you're still with me

All your homies know

Even your very best friend

Tried to warn me on the low

It took me some time

But now I am strong

Because I realized I got

Me myself and I

That's all I got in the end

That's what I found out

And it ain't no need to cry

I took a vow that from now on

I'm gonna be my own best friend

Me myself and I

That's all I got in the end

That's what I found out

And it ain't no need to cry

I took a vow that from now on

I'm gonna be my own best friend

Me myself and I

I know that I will never disappoint myself

I must have cried a thousand times

All the ladies if you feel me

Help me sing it now

I can't regret all the times spent with you

Ya, you hurt me

But I learned a lot along the way

After all the rain

You'll see the sun come out again

I know that I will never disappoint myself
