1. _ Creep
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
The twenty second of loneliness
And we've been through so many things.
I love my man with all honesty,
But I know he's cheating on me.
Look him in the 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.
So I creep, yeah, just creepin' on,
On the down low, 'cept nobody is supposed to know.
So I creep yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do
And no attention goes to show oh.
So I creep.
The twenty third of loneliness
And we don't talk, like we used to do.
Now this is pretty strange,
But I'm not buggin' 'cause I still feel the same.
I Keep giving loving till the day he pushes me away.
Never go a stray.
If he knew the things I did, he couldn't handle me.
And I choose to keep him protected, Oh.
So I creep, yeah, just creepin' on,
But I'll know. 'cept nobody is supposed to know.
So I creep, yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do,
And no attention goes to show oh.
So I creep, yeah, just creepin' on,
But I'll know. 'cept nobody is supposed to know.
So I creep, yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do,
And no attention goes to show.
So I creep, yeah, just creepin' on,
But I'll know. 'cept nobody is supposed to know.
So I creep, yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do,
And no attention goes to show.

2. _ No Scrubs
A scrub is a guy that think he's fine
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)
[Chorus]
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
But a scrub is checkin' me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
cause 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]
If you don't have a car and you're walking
Oh yea 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 but 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:Repeat x4]

3. _ Diggin' on You
I was like peace in a groove
On a Sunday afternoon
You were there so was I
In the park 4th of July
I was chillin' with my Kool-Aid
When Miss Chilli came to relay
That you had a thing for me
Finest thing you'd ever seen
I must admit to you
I've heard them lines a time or two
Although for some apparent reason
Monkey lines are now in season
Lights off, lights on
I guess the groove is on so I am
[Chorus]
Diggin' the scene
Diggin' on you
Diggin' on me
Baby bay-oh-baby baby
It's on like that
It's on like that
I gotta be in love or somethin' like that
I was like deep in a cool
What'nt gone be nobody's fool
Could not care less who was there
Could've been like anywhere
I was chillin' with my Kool-Aid
Did not want to par-ti-ci-pate
In no silly conversations
Had no time for new relation-ships
I must admit to you
When I heard the lines you threw
Although it usually turns me off
But this time you have turned me on
Lights off, Lights on
I guess the groove is on and I am
[Chorus]
Oh why do I feel the way I do
When all I can think about is you
What was it in a line
That made me fall for you
Do you know
Why I'm diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on you
[Chorus]
Diggin' on you
It's on like that
Diggin' diggin' diggin' diggin' on you
[Chorus]

4. _ Silly Ho
I ain't never been no silly ho
Waiting for your call
Like the other girls want u
I ain't never been the one to mess
Wit' someone else's mess
That's not a thang for me to do
I ain't never been the chicken head
To wake up in your head
After every club or two
I ain't gonna be the one in mini skirts
Always wanna flirt
Wit' every playa on the team
So if you really wanna find
Someone to get some behind
I ain't the one for you
And if you really wanna know
Boy you need a silly ho
To do whatever you wanna do
I ain't never been no silly bitch
Waiting to get rich
From a nigga bank account
I have always had my own things
Bought my own rings
Not gonna let you catch me out
You should take a lesson from me
I ain't the one to be
Depending on someone else
I can run a scam before he can
I'm betta than a man
I always keep my game on deck

5. _ Red Light Special
Take a good look at it
Look at it now
Might be the last time you'll
Have a go round
I'll let you touch it if you'd
Like to go down
I'll let you go further
If you take the southern route
Don't go too fast
Don't go too slow
You've got to let your body flow
I like 'em attentive
And I like 'em in control
[Chorus]
Baby it's yours
All yours
If you want it tonight
I'll give you the red light special
All through the night
Baby it's yours
All yours
If you want it tonight
Just come through my door
Take off my clothes
And turn on the red light
I know that you want me I can
See it in your eyes
You might as well be honest 'cause the
Body never lies
Tell me your secrets and I'll
I'll tell you mine
I'm feelin' quite sexy
And I want you for tonight
If I move too fast just let me know
'Cause it means you move too slow
I like some excitement
And I like a man that goes
[Chorus]
If you want me
Let me know it
I'll make time but
You've got to show it
If you need me
I want to see
But don't mistake me
I don't want you down on your knees
I need someone a real man
I need someone who understands
I'm a woman a real woman
I know just what I want
I know just who I am
[Chorus]

6. _ Dear Lie
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
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 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
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
Lie lie
I've got
Your walls
Now get the hell away from me
I learned your art
Won't let you unnerve me
Wont' let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won't hurt no
No more
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
Lie lie
Dear lie
Lie Lie Lie Lie
Lie Lie
Dear lie

7. _ Kick Your Game
I've been watching
Come on let me kick a little game to you
Baby baby let me kick a little game with you
I've been watching you watching me
And I know you want it
Come on let me kick a little game to you
Laying against the wall checking out the scenery
All I see is everybody trying to get with me
So I continue to play it crazysexycool
Lost all composure when I laid my eyes on you
You just wanna know if you can kick some game
Come with something more clever than just your name
See it's like this I wanna take you home
But you gotta show me that your game is on
I've been watching you watching me
And I know you want it
But it depends on how you kick your game
Come on let me kick a little game to you
It's about to close but you've only said a few words to me
I've been waiting for a dose of your personality
See I'm in the mood and if all goes right
Baby you will be you will be going home with me tonight
Miss Left Eye
All I wanna do is kiss your hand
Let you know I'm not just another fan I am the man
And I don't give a damn about who you know
I got a 48-track studio back at the crib
So drop by you know where I live
I see you all the time but on another note
Would you like to dance
Naa I'm about to go and uuh hang my coat
I've been watching you watching me
And I know you want it
But it depends on how you kick your game
Come on let me kick a little game to you
Lisa Lopes
It's been a month
I called you twice...You called me once
Baby come with me you'd be mine
So we can make love on the 50 yard line
You for me me for you
There's nothing in this world you know we couldn't do
Yeah but who was that girl all on your back...Nicole
I'm just a nigga that followed you to the coat rack.
You just wanna know if you can kick some game
Come with something more clever than just your name
See it's like this I wanna take you home
But you gotta show me that your game is on
I've been watching you watching me
And I know you want it
But it depends on how you kick your game
Come on let me kick a little game to you
Come on let me kick a little game with you
Baby baby let me kick a little game to you

8. _ Unpretty
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
I wish I could tie 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
Every time 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, too
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm in 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 can't believe I'm trippin'
[Chorus: x2]
As I reflect back on what I've used and abused
And detect that I need some clues to get through
To those that accused me of never being true
I'll lose if I play into this game and never know the rules
So how do I bring out the me nobody sees
The forest for the trees, how 'bout the woman behind the weave
The light from within this life is the only real remedy
Or find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh)
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh)
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
[Chorus: x2]

9. _ Waterfalls
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 know how,
another body laying cold in the gutter.
Listen to me.
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 nat'ral obsession for temptation,
but he just can't see.
She give 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.
Three letters took him to his final resting place.
Y'all don't hear me.
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 rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not on God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
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 in 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
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.
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.

10. _ What About Your Friends
Every now and the, I get a little crazy,
That's not the way it's supposed to be.
Sometimes my vision is a little hazy,
I can't tell who I should trust or just who I let trust me, yeah.
People try to say I act a little funny,
But that's just a figure of speech to me.
They tell me I changed because I got money,
But if you were there before,
Then you're still down with me.
What about your friends, will they stand their ground,
Will they let you down again?
What about your friends, are they gonna be lowdown,
Will they ever be around,
Or will they turn their backs on you?
Well, is it me, or can it be I'm a little too friendly
So to speak hypothetically.
Say I supply creativity to what others must take as a form of self-hate.
Only to make an enemy which results in unfortunate destiny.
They dog me out then be next to me,
Just cause I am what some choose to envy.
Every now and then, I get a little easy,
I let a lot of people depend on me.
I never thought they would ever deceive me,
Don't you know when times got rough,
I was standing on my own.
I'll never let another get that close to me,
You see I've grown a lot smarter now.
Sometimes you have to choose and then you'll see,
If your friend is true then they'll be there with you.
What about your friends, will they stand their ground,
Will they let you down again?
What about your friends, are they gonna be lowdown,
Will they ever be around,
Or will they turn their backs on you?
What about your friends, will they stand their ground,
Will they let you down again?
What about your friends, are they gonna be lowdown,
Will they ever be around,
Or will they turn their backs on you?
Yo, is it me, or can it be I'm a little too friendly
So to speak hypothetically.
Say I supply creativity to what others must take as a form of self-hate.
Only to make an enemy which results in unfortunate destiny.
They dog me out then be next to me,
Just cause I am what some choose to envy.
What about your friends, will they stand their ground,
Will they let you down again?
What about your friends, are they gonna be lowdown,
Will they ever be around,
Or will they turn their backs on you?
What about your friends, will they stand their ground,
Will they let you down again?
What about your friends, are they gonna be lowdown,
Will they ever be around,
Or will they turn their backs on you?
(What about your friends?)
People say I act a little funny,
I wouldn't change, not for no money.
I'll be a friend as long as you're a friend to me.
(What about your friends?)
Even though I might seem easy,
It don't give you no cause to deceive me.
It's not the way that I want my friends to ever be.
What about your friends, will they stand their ground,
Will they let you down again?
What about your friends, are they gonna be lowdown,
Will they ever be around,
Or will they turn their backs on you?
What about your friends, will they stand their ground,
Will they let you down again?
What about your friends, are they gonna be lowdown,
Will they ever be around,
Or will they turn their backs on you?

If the lovin' is strong then he got it goin' on and

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

So I choose to explain it's evident
Left Eye don't mean the rest of my body is irrelevant

About pullin' down curtains and breakin' thewaterbed
Yeah I like it when you (kiss)
Both sets of lips

What I call my own
Just you and me (uh)
