T-Boz:
Dear lie
You suck
You said you could fix anything
Instead I'm fucked
You made things even worse for me
If I had balls I'd tell you get away from me
Guess I'm not smart
I let you unnerve me
I let you control me
Afraid the truth would hurt me
When it's you that hurts me more
Chorus:
T-Boz & Chilli:
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my head
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin' words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You're nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me (out of me)
Out of me
Out of me lie
Lie lie lie lie
Dear lie
You're dumb
You think you've got the best of me
You think you've won
Misread my vulnerability
I've got your walls
Now get the hell away from me
I've learned your art
Won't let you unnerve me
Won't let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won't hurt no
No more
Chorus
Lie lie
I've got (I've got)
Your walls (your walls)
Now get the hell away from me
I've learned your art (your art)
Won't let you unnerve me
Won't let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won't hurt no
No more
Chorus
Lie lie
Dear lie
Lie Lie Lie Lie
Lie Lie
Dear lie
I wish could've tied you up in my shoes.
Make you feel unpretty too.
I was told I was beautiful.
But what does that mean to you.
Look into the mirror who's inside there.
The one with the long hair.
Same old me again today (yeah).
My outsides look cool.
My insides are blue.
Everytime I think I'm through.
It's because of you.
I've tried different ways.
But it's all the same.
At the end of the day.
I have myself to blame.
I'm just trippin'.
Chorus:
You can buy your hair if it won't grow.
You can fix your nose if he says so.
You can buy all the make up.
That MAC can make.
But if you can't look inside you.
Find out who am I to.
Be in the position to make me feel.
So damn unpretty.
I'll make you feel unpretty too.
Never insecure until I met you.
Now I'm bein' stupid.
I used to be so cute to me.
Just a little bit skinny.
Why do I look to all these things.
To keep you happy.
Maybe get rid of you.
And then I'll get back to me (hey).
My outsides look cool.
My insides are blue.
Everytime I think I'm through.
It's because of you.
I've tried different ways.
But it's all the same.
At the end of the day.
I have myself to blame.
I'm just trippin'.

Chilli:
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)
Chilli & T-Boz:
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).
Chorus:
Chilli & T-Boz:
I don't want no scrub.
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me.
Hanging out the passenger side.
Of his best friend's ride.
Trying to holler at me.
I don't want no scrub.
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me.
Hanging out the passenger side.
Of his best friend's ride.
Trying to holler at me.
There's a scrub checkin' me.
But his game is kinda weak.
And I know that he cannot approach me.
Cuz I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash.
Can't get wit' no deadbeat 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 (no).
Chorus
Chilli:
If you don't have a car and you're walking.
Oh yes son I'm talking to you.
If you live at home wit' your momma.
Oh yes son I'm talking to you (baby).
If you have a shorty that you don't show love.
Oh yes son I'm talking to you.
Wanna get with me with no money.
Oh no I don't want no (oh).
No scrub.
No scrub (no no).
No scrub (no no no no no).
No scrub (no no).
No.

Chorus
Yes it's me again.
And I'm back.
Oh I oh I oh I yeah.
Oh I oh I oh I baby.
Oh I oh I oh I yeah.
The 22nd of lonliness and we've.
Been through so many thangs.
I love my man with all honesty.
But I know he's cheatin' on me.
I look him in his eyes but all he.
Tells me is lies to keep me near.
I'll never leave him down though.
I might mess around it's only.
'Cause I need some affection oh.
Chorus:
So I creep yeah.
Just keep it on the down low.
Said nobody is supposed 2 know.<
'Cause he doesn't know.
What I do and no attention.
Goes to show oh so I creep.
The 23rd of lonliness.
And we don't talk.
Like we used 2 do.
Now it seems pretty.
Strange but I'm not.
Buggin' 'cause I still feel.
The same yeah yeah.
I'll keep giving loving.
Till the day he pushes me away.
Never go astray.
If he knew the.
Things I did he couldn't.
Handle it.
And I choose 2 keep him.
Protected oh.
Chorus
I think about us baby all the time.
But you know that I'm gonna need some attention.
Yeah, yeah can you dig it.
Love you forever baby soul & mind.
And you gotta know if.

Get mine.
Oh I oh I oh I yeah.
Oh I oh I oh I baby.
Oh I oh I oh I yeah.

Chorus
I creep around because I need some attention.
Don't mess around with my affection.
Oh I oh I oh I yeah.
Chorus
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 goes 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
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
