Somethin' You Wanna Know

(album: Ooooooohhh... On The TLC Tip - 1992)

Something you wanna know
Ask me boy
I'll tell you so
Don't you talk to the world
You can talk to me baby
Something you wanna know

Yo Left Eye
I can't believe he fell for that rumor
All he had to do was come ask you

Sitting all alone can't think of nothing better to do
So yo I keeps calling you
Each discussion's a little bit colder
Seems to me you giving two of those shoulders
Whatever it is and if it's nothing
I wish that you would tell me something
Got me thinking I'm losing you
Yo so what am I suppose to do

[Chorus:]
Something you wanna know
Ask me boy
I'll tell you so
Don't you talk to the world
You can talk to me baby
Something you wanna know
Ask me boy
I'll tell you so
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you baby

Scratching up the phone going crazy
You think it' atin't suppose to phase me
Yelling at you for even starting to belive
In any kind of that crap street yap you been receiving
And what's so unfair
You been dogging me out about matters unclear
You can't solve a problem it it's trapped inside your mind
It's a conversation blind

[Chorus]

You know you shouldn't fall for everything that they tell you
Unless you get it straight from the horse's mouth (ah)
You know that everything they tell you boy is just hearsay
You gotta be careful when the rumor's out

True enough now you know if I were to pick up
A piece of that he say she say stuff
Think about it
I would doubt it as to calling a bluff
But unlike you I wouldn't breaka da rules
By jumping into concluse
I'd eat a steak and potato while thinking it over later
Leave a tip two quarters and a condom for the waiter
What to do
Now's the time I decided to bring it on back to you
So we can talk it through and through
Becasue it ain't nothing better than talking to me
When you wanna know something
Than having to get a piece of info from who knows
I'm getting fed up cause yo cuz
Words become a quote or something better like a story
It's far from okey doke close to fiction
Half is true but then the other is a conviction
So I'm blamed with an infliction
From which others have created
Then have socially debated
So yo don't you know that the story's been inflated

[Chorus]

You know you shouldn't fall for everything that they tell you
Unless you get it straight from the horse's mouth (hey)
You know that everything that they tell you boy is just hearsay
You gotta be careful (careful) when the rumor's out

You can talk to me, you can talk to me
If it's something you wanna know (something you wanna know)
They just ask me baby
Ooh so tenderly (so tenderly)
I'll tell you what you wanna hear (I'll tell you somethin')
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you baby

Remember don't let anyone come between you
With he say she say
Yeah you know those words
And this advice is never to be forgotten
That misery loves company (I'll tell you so)
And this special shot goes out to all those
(You can talk to your girl)
(I won't lie to you baby)
Who are in love
Peace

[Chorus]
