a lonely mother gazing out of her window
staring at a son that she just can't touch
if at any time he's in a jam
she'll be by his side
but he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
but all the praying just ain't helping
at all 'cause he can't seem to keep
his self out of trouble
so he goge out and he makes his money
the best way he knows how
another body laying cold in the gutter
listen to me
*chorus
don't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that
you're used to
i know that you're gonna have it your way
or nothing at all
but i think you're moving too fast
little precious has a natural obsession
for temptation but he just can't see
she gives him loving that his body can't handle
but all he can say is baby it's good to me
one day he goes and takes a glimpse
in the mirror
but he doesn't recognize his own face
his health is fading and he doesn't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
y' all don't hear me
*chorus
don't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that
you're used to
i know that you're gonna have it your way
or nothing at all
but i think you're moving too fast
i seen a rainbow yesterday
but too many storms have come and gone
leavin' a trace of not one god-given ray
is it because my life is ten shades of grey
i pray all ten fade away
seldom praise him for the sunny days
and like his promise is true
only my faith can undo
the many chances i blew
to bring my life to anew
clear blue and unconditional skies
have dried the tears from my eyes
no more lonely cries
my only bleedin' hope
is for the folk who can't cope
wit such an endurin' pain
that it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
who's to blame
for tootin' caine in your own vein
what a shame
you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
you claim the insane
and name this day and time
for fallin' prey to crime
i say the system got you victim to your own mind
dreams are hopeless aspirations
in hopes of comin' true
believe in yourself
the rest is up to me and you
*chorus
don't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that
you're used to
i know that you're gonna have it your way
or nothing at all
but i think you're moving too fast

Ha ha ha ha (TLC)
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whooa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (oww)
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And I believe it don't affect
Nobody else but me
Ya'll been telling me what to do
Since I was old enough to walk
Old enough to talk
Never let me speak or move
Do my own thang
But now I'm growin' wiser now
Brighter now
A little bit tighter now
Now ya'll can't hold me down
I know you hate to hear
But things have changed in
Chorus:
My life
It's been a while but
Me and my style stuck
Now everybody and they
Momma tryna do it
My life
I've done that been through that
So there ain't nothin
That you can tell me
My life
On a good night if I feel like
Me and my girls hit the club and tell
It's my life
It's my life
And I believe that it don't effect
Nobody else but me me me me
Being sick and tired of folks
Who wanna come around
Claim they gon get down
But all they wanna do is
See me make a wrong move (yeah)
I don't care what you hear in the news
To see who I choose to do the late night creep wit
I'm gonna do just what I wanna do
It's my life
Chorus
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And I believe that it don't effect nobody else but me
Sometimes I might get a little crazy
And sometimes I might seem
Out of hand but I'm sayin
Life's too short for me to let you dictate
What I say and the moves I make
Sick of people tryna tell me what to do
It's my life and I'ma live it like I want to
Check it
Another day another dolla
Is the reality of my mentality
Otherwise don't even botha
You see my father was a wise old man
Always creatin the plan
For me to conquer this land
He said I am what I am
So be the best that I can
And if them others don't like it
Then why should I give a damn (huh)
Maybe so cause when his life wasn't right
My mother picked up them pieces
And continued on with the fight
So now it's plain to me
It ain't no game to me
See mom and dad corrected math
1 and 1 equal 3
4 and 5 I count my sister and brother
Stay alive till we die
And don't you ever be worried
Cuz I'm down with a ride
Through peaks and valleys to Cresent Hills
Tumble down I'll set a new ground for Jack and Jill
Ever wonder what put the thunder deeply in my eyes
Take a look and you'll find a sunshine
My life my life my life
Chorus

A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So no
I don't want your number no
I don't want to give you mine and no
I don't want to meet you nowhere no
I don't want none of your time and no

Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride

he's lookin' like trash
Can't get wit' no deadbeat ass

Wanna get with me with no money
Oh no I don't want no oh

Yo mic check 1-2, 1-2
We in the house
Yeah come on
1992 TLC kickin' off in your Mutha......
So ya best be duckin' fast
Yo T-Boz is ya being a boss
Chilli what's up wit' dat sauce
Dis is it
To "T" step on that (shhhh)
I ain't 2 proud, I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
Thinkin' short of what you got
Better get it while it's hot
Ain't no better love than your own
Unmistakin' urge 2 be sexin' with society
How can you be happy alone
Bridge:
When I need 2 feel love
Why wait 4 so long
Cause I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
4 something that I call my own
And I want 2 be touched
And feeling so much see cause
Everybody needs some good lovin'
Chorus:
Yo if I need it in the morning or the middle of the night
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
If the lovin' is strong and he got it goin' on and
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
2 inches or a yard rock hard or if it's saggin'
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)
So it ain't like I'm braggin' just join the paddywagon cause
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg, I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
Screamin' loud and holdin' sheets
Scared that you'll be called a freak
Gotta let it go while you can
Ain't 2 proud 2 beg you see
Cause my man belongs 2 me
And I know that he understands
Bridge
Chorus
Yo left eye kick that rap
Realize the realism of reality treats
Us both the same
Cause satisfaction is the name of this game
So I choose to explain it's evident
Left Eye don't mean the rest of my body is irrelevant
In other words lets refresh your head
About pullin' down curtains and breakin' da waterbed
Yeah I like it when you (kiss)
Both sets of lips
Oooh on the TLC tip
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (I ain't 2 proud 2 beg)
What I call my own
Just you and me (uh)
Heyyyyyyyy
Bridge
Chorus
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg
TLC isn't 2 proud 2 beg
I ain't 2 proud 2 beg (no)

Chorus:
I don't know what
She would do if she knew
That you were comin'
To do what we do
I don't know what
He would do if he knew
That you were comin'
To do what we do
Always wondered if she knew about us
When I met ya you said ya'll had broke up
Right on time cuz I didn't have my love
Me and him was also messed up
That let me fall to you
And from what I could tell you fell too
And I wonder if it would be wrong
If we just kept it on
And I know we
Both had someone that we just kept from
And they still think that they're the only ones
I like the way we hang but it ain't belong
We know the feelings they don't know
Chorus
Always thought that he knew about you
When I met you I said we were through
In time my feelings came right back
But I didn't let us get off track
And I got so into you
Went too fast what do I do
When I know I shoulda helped it out
But you just turn me on
And I know we
Both had someone that we just kept from
And they still think that they're the only ones
I like the way we hang but it ain't belong
We know the feelings they don't know
Chorus
We kept things pretty tight thus far
Love without the sex
And hundred thousand dollar cars
Ain't it funny how our world should unify
An entity upon itself
That can spread wings and fly
A peaceful coexistance that will surely last
Becomes a reminiscent dream
For those in our past
If they knew just a fraction of all the things we do
They still wouldn't comprehend
The depth between me and you
And I know we
Both had someone that we just kept from
And they still think that they're the only ones
I like the way we hang but it ain't belong
We know the feelings they don't know
Chorus
I don't know what
She would do if she knew
Da da da da da da da da da
I don't know what
He would do if he knew
I don't know don't know
Don't know
TLC
Yeah baby I
Left Eye

I don't know don't know

I ain't one to be questioned
About who and where I've been
I ain't one to be questioned
About what time I came in
Tryna squeeze, baby please
Hit the road and don't come back
'Cause I can't trust a relationship
Wit no trust and that's a fact
Chorus
Switch
Don't take no mess from nobody
Switch
If they act up just leave 'em alone
Switch
Don't take no mess from nobody
Switch
When ya done wit 'em you can sent 'em home
I won't answer to no one
Until I feel I'm ready to
I'm gonna have my fun
Doin' the things I like to do
See I need space get off my case
Stop breathin' down my back
'Cause we ain't gotta a relationship
If that's how you have to act
Commitment true devotion
Right now is not the way
For you to come at me
When I need it
I'm sure you'll be the first to know
But for now in my plans, no demands
I'm gonna have to make a switch
Switch
Throw his behind in a ditch
While my definition states as it relates
To us mates, one eliminates
Solely contemplates n' de associates
Like my new drink was V-8's
Just as quick as I get in it
I'll drop 'em in a minute
Like the dollaz
In my pocket, Speedy Gonzalez
Couldn't stop the way I spin it
I'm know for breakin' every speed limit
This switch could be infinite
I said L to da E to da F to the T to da E to the Y
Because I'm so fly
Bring it back to the E so come and see me
At the hotel motel Holiday Inn
I said if you man starts actin' up
Switch and take his friend
Erase replace embrace new face come on
Erase replace embrace new face
Chorus

Girl talk byTLC
T-Boz:
You see I had this brother who was mad at me
Cuz I told my home girl that he wasn't packin'
Told the truth so I really don't give a damn
That I spilled the beans on his little short stem man (oh)
Some of y'all be foolin' us
Big feet big hands just plain big
but sex ain't worth a damn
We women wanna know these things
If y'all got the bat but not the swang
Bridge(Chili):
Put in work
If you don't want the girl to talk
And you don't want your feelings hurt
Put in work
Cause if you don't
That girl's just gon' go spreadin' the word
Chorus by all:
Girls talkin' got ya all caught out there
Why you thinkin' that it's all about ya
Forget she told me everything about ya
But the girls are talkin'
The girls are talkin'
Girls talk about the booty too
About the way a brother is hangin' too
When you didn't think that nobody knew
You see the girls are talkin'
The girls are talkin'
T-Boz:
Listen y'all need to know this
That we'll straight up go tell your business
So if you're gonna come you better come with it
If you ain't swingin' just put your tongue in it (oh)
Some of y'all be killin me
Thinkin' you got powers like Austin
But you're more like Mini-Me
And when you finally get your blood flowin'
It be lookin' like a pinky with a glove on it
Bridge Repeat
Chorus Repeat
Left Eye Raps:
What up papi
You think you got game?
(Well holla at me)
I know you're feelin' like my sexual tame
Can make ya happy
You'll remember me
Left Eye - TLC
You got to lick it before you stick it
And that's just me
I be killin' 'em with the Gucci fits and kicks
And you be hurtin' my ears with them lines so swift
You get a new approach
You're game's a joke
Co-signin' from the sidelines tryin' to poke
I'm bigger than that
You're small talk face the fact
You wanna rock the boat a little
Well earn your pass
And it's the last call for alcohol
Meet at the bar
Me and my girls doin' it big
We pop stars (yeah)
Chorus Repeat Till It Fades

Saw you two the other day
And I would say that she looks great
You all make the cutest two
I guess I should be glad for you
The thought of you just makes me sick
It's been two weeks and that's too quick
I can't say that I'm doin' fine
Cuz I'm bout to lose my mind
And I don't know what I'll do so
Chorus:
You're sad for me too bad for you
That I'm so lonely and confused
I've gotta take it out on you
Cuz you left me for some chick
Now I'm lovesick baby
Saw myself on Rikki Lake
Overweight and full of hate
Some asshole left me in distress
I used to look down on all that mess
Seems like everything just changed
Once I gave my love to you you went away
Since you are the one to blame
You better figure out how to get it back baby
Chorus
Before I met you I didn't think
That you'd ever do a thing
To take away my independence baby
Before I met you I was straight
Now I'm bout to go insane
I saw you and I think about you baby
Chorus

Let's take our time baby
Love lasts forever
Over and over
We'll love together
Come here next to me
And let me make you high
No mistakes we will make
A long time we will love
Chorus
Kiss me hold me tight
And let's get wet tonight
Happiness is pleasing you
So let me make you cry
Chorus
Slowly deep inside me
Hold me and kiss my body
Only you can make me
Oh so easy

I used to walk around like
Nothing could happen to me
Life is a gamble so I
Should live life more carefully
But all I know is that I
Control my own destiny
I used to look at others
Instead of me blaming me
Bridge:
Don’t ask yourself why
Just look to the sky
Believe that soon you’ll see the other side
Chorus:
I know
That through all the struggle
There’s a bright road
At the end of the tunnel
Now you should know
Whatever your dilemma may be
You’ll learn
Life is worth it
Watch the tables turn
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whenever you feel troubled
With problems coming your way
Don’t ever get discouraged
There’s always a better day
We all don’t know the answers
Believe and trust when I say
That havin' faith is always
The way to make things okay
Bridge
Chorus
That’s right
Alright
You’ve had your ups and downs but
It happened for a reason
Cause after April showers
There will come a change of season
So please don’t give up now cuz
The sun's shinin' through the clouds
It’s gonna be alright
I know
Chorus
Chorus
Watch the tables turn
(Watch the tables turn)
Watch the tables turn
(Watch the tables turn)
Watch the tables turn
(Watch the tables turn)
Watch the tables turn

Shoo doop doo
If I was your girlfriend
Would you remember to tell me
All the things you forgot
If I was your man, if I was your man
If I was your best friend
Would you let me take care of you
And do all the things that only your best friend can
Only your best friends can
Chorus
If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend
Would you let me dress you
I mean help you pick out your clothes
Before we go out
Not that you're helpless but sometimes,
Sometimes those are the things
That being in love's about
If I was your one and only friend
Would you run to me if somebody hurt you
Even if that somebody was me
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
Please
Chorus
If I was your girlfriend
I know I could treat you right
I could see what you see
And hear what you hear
And most of all
I'd feel what you feel
Oh make me wanna say
Shoo doop doo
If I was your girlfriend
